Overengineering Audit

Agent skill
1 skill

Flag over-engineering — speculative abstractions, premature generalization, single-use "flexibility", unnecessary indirection, config for things that never vary, and patterns heavier than the project needs. Scope-tightenable by design — audit a path, the current diff, specific categories, or a severity floor (default narrow, never whole-repo unprompted). Read-only / advisory: proposes the simpler alternative with its cost, never rewrites. Use in review, before merge, or when a module "feels" too clever for what it does.

Supported by the Atlas install prompt. Skill-specific requirements vary.
