Gemini CLIAbout this skill
Minimal-code discipline for a lazy senior engineer - the YAGNI ladder (does it need to exist, stdlib, native platform feature, installed dependency, one line, then minimum), deletion over addition, no unrequested abstractions, and the enigma: comment convention for marking deliberate shortcuts and their upgrade path. Use whenever writing or refactoring implementation code, and whenever the user says "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest/minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", "what can we delete", "simplify", or complains about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies. Intensity is set by the minimal-code config setting (off|lite|full|ultra).
