Minimalist Help

Answer in under 15 lines:

  • What: subtraction-first engineering skill; smallest correct change wins.
  • The descent: delete requirement → reuse codebase → stdlib → platform → installed dep → one line → minimal new code.
  • Guardrail: validation, auth, error handling, cleanup, tests are never cut.
  • Levels: /minimalist lite|full|ultra|off (default full).
  • Commands: /minimalist, /minimalist-review, /minimalist-audit, /minimalist-gain, /minimalist-help.
  • Coexistence: yields prose style to output skills (caveman etc.); never emits conflicting instructions.
  • Honesty: reports only measured savings.
