What it does
An editorial selection.
A skill that pushes coding agents toward minimal code: "the best code is the code you never wrote."
Why it is listed
The README reports a benchmark of 53% less code and 45% fewer tokens while keeping tests on risky logic. A cheap way to fight agent over-engineering.
GitHub describes it as: Makes your AI agent think like the laziest senior dev in the room. The best code is the code you never wrote.
