A Claude Code skill that makes the agent write less code. Before writing anything, it climbs a short ladder: skip it, reuse what exists, use the standard library, then a one-liner. The README's benchmark reports fewer lines and tokens on a FastAPI project with validation kept intact.
Idea adaptedKey files read, not run
I learnt this repo's idea and adapted it into my own workspace setup.
How we know
We read the README and key files, not every source file, and did not run it, so the most we can say is Idea adapted or Risky.
Good for
Developers who get bloated code from Claude and want shorter diffs without losing validation or error handling.
Not for
Work where you want a full abstraction layer from the start; the skill holds back on purpose.
