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.

- principle-laziness-protocolmichael-denyer/pstack-claudeApply 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★ 3.2K
- minimalistalirezarezvani/claude-skillsUse 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.Writing★ 28.5K
- code-understandAr9av/obsidian-wikiMap the load-bearing files, symbols, callers, and dependencies of an unfamiliar codebase before making changes. Use for architecture orientation, impact analysis, what-would-break questions, or finding callers. Uses CodeGraph when available and a dependency-free builtin fallback.Engineering★ 3.6K
- 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★ 109.1K
- principle-subtract-before-you-addmichael-denyer/pstack-claudeApply when sequencing an addition, refactor, or rewrite. Remove dead code, redundant validators, and stub references first, then build on the simpler base.Engineering★ 3.2K
- win-loss-reviewanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsAnalyze recently closed opportunities to find patterns in what wins and what loses - stage of loss, common objections from transcripts, deal characteristics. Leader-focused. Use when the user asks "win loss review", "why are we losing deals", "what's working", or "analyze closed opps".OfficialEngineering★ 31K
