principle-minimize-reader-load
From the author
Apply when reviewing or shaping code that's hard to trace. Count layers between question and answer, and hidden state in the reader's head; collapse one-caller wrappers and shrink mutable scope.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- less-is-moresno-ai/sno-station-skillsWrite the least code that works, and cut what an AI agent over-built. Use on any coding task: write, fix, refactor, or review a diff. Also when the user says 'less', 'simplify', 'too complex', 'over-engineered', or 'what can we delete'. Not for prose, research, or non-code questions.Science★ 883
- simplify-codeericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when correct working code is unnecessarily hard to read, change or verify and needs behaviour-preserving simplification in a bounded scope. Characterizes the observable contract, removes accidental complexity one concept at a time and proves equivalence. NOT fixing a failure (`debug`), NOT read-only diff judgment (`review`/`code-review`).Engineering★ 350
- clean-codewondelai/skillsWrite readable, maintainable code through disciplined naming, small functions, and clean error handling. Use when the user mentions "clean up this code", "this function is too long", "code smells", "naming conventions", "boy scout rule", "single responsibility", or "unit test quality". Also trigger when reviewing a pull request for readability, untangling a messy function, debating comment styles, or improving error-handling patterns. Covers SRP, comment discipline, formatting, and unit testing. For refactoring techniques, see refactoring-patterns. For architecture and dependency rules, see clean-architecture.Engineering★ 2.5K
- code-simplificationaddyosmani/agent-skillsSimplifies code for clarity. Use when refactoring code for clarity without changing behavior. Use when code works but is harder to read, maintain, or extend than it should be. Use when reviewing code that has accumulated unnecessary complexity.Engineering★ 111.3K
- coding-principlesshinpr/claude-code-workflowsLanguage-agnostic coding principles for maintainability, readability, and quality. Use when implementing features, refactoring code, or reviewing code quality.Engineering★ 704
- principle-laziness-protocolbacknotprop/pstackApply when refactoring, evaluating diff size, or tempted to add abstractions, layers, or signal threading. Bias toward deletion and the smallest change that solves the problem.Engineering★ 3K
