minimalist
From the author
Use when the user asks to write code efficiently, avoid over-engineering, reduce dependencies, or prevent unnecessary abstractions. Enforces a strict efficiency ladder: YAGNI, reuse, stdlib, native platform, existing deps — before writing any new code.

- incremental-implementationaddyosmani/agent-skillsDelivers changes incrementally in thin, verifiable slices. Use when implementing any feature or change that touches more than one file, or when picking up the next task from a plan. Use when rolling a change out behind a feature flag, when you're about to write a large amount of code at once, or when a task feels too big to land in one step.Writing★ 109.1K
- brainstormingforyourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-SkillsYou MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.Planning★ 3.7K
- ego-lite-simplifycitrolabs/ego-liteFind and implement evidence-backed simplifications in the ego-lite repository. Use when reviewing the codebase for dead code, duplicated state or APIs, speculative abstractions, unnecessary compatibility layers, hand-written infrastructure, excessive tests or documentation, or when the user asks to reduce code size or maintenance complexity without hiding behavior changes.Testing★ 18.4K
- tiny-steppinggithub/awesome-copilotIncremental development workflow that makes the smallest meaningful change per step and pauses for feedback, so the direction gets validated early before continuing. Use for careful, iterative implementation with continuous validation.Productivity★ 40.3K
- ponytailDietrichGebert/ponytailLazy senior dev mode: the smallest change that fully solves the task, and a reply a busy human understands in one read. Use on any coding task (writing, fixing, refactoring, reviewing, choosing dependencies) and when the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "simplest solution", "yagni", or complains about over-engineering or bloat. Levels: lite, full (default), ultra.Writing★ 170.7K
- cpp-proJeffallan/claude-skillsWrites, optimizes, and debugs C++ applications using modern C++20/23 features, template metaprogramming, and high-performance systems techniques. Use when building or refactoring C++ code requiring concepts, ranges, coroutines, SIMD optimization, or careful memory management — or when addressing performance bottlenecks, concurrency issues, and build system configuration with CMake.Writing★ 12K
