Minimalism — Development skill for Claude Code

Development community

Use in any coding session when writing or changing code — enforces the laziest solution that actually works (YAGNI, stdlib-first, shortest diff) while never trimming validation, error handling, securi.

How to install Minimalism

Installs to ~/.claude/skills/mickeyyaya-evolve-loop-minimalism/SKILL.md

What Minimalism does

description: "Use in any coding session when writing or changing code — enforces the laziest solution that actually works (YAGNI, stdlib-first, shortest diff) while never trimming validation, error handling, security, accessibility, or the pipeline's tests/gates. Also triggers on \"minimalism\", \"be lazy\", \"simplest/minimal solution\", \"yagni\", \"do less\", \"shortest path\", or complaints about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies." argument-hint: "[lite|fu
