[ PORTABLE SKILL ]
restraint
YAGNI with a governor: write the least code that is still the right code. This skill should be used on any coding task — writing, adding, refactoring, fixing, reviewing, designing code, or choosing libraries and dependencies — and whenever the user says "restraint", "/restraint", "don't over-build", "don't over-engineer", "keep it minimal", "simplest solution that works", "yagni", "do less", or complains about bloat, boilerplate, speculative scope, or unnecessary abstractions. Supports intensity levels off, lite, full (default), and ultra. Do NOT use for non-coding requests (general knowledge, prose, translation, summaries, recipes).
