Claude Code skill · anthropic · active
This skill keeps your code simple and shippable by enforcing hard limits: stay under 800 lines for v1, avoid fancy abstractions, and build only what you need today. It pushes back against over-engineered patterns and tells you which simple approaches to pick instead.
Founders, solo developers, and small teams who need to ship fast and maintain what they build without drowning in complexity.
Every code-writing task, architectural decision, or refactoring discussion in Claude Code. No keyword needed. It runs by default.
- "Build a user authentication system for my app"
- "I need to refactor this API route. Should I extract it into a service layer?"
- "What's the best way to structure a dashboard with settings, admin panels, and advanced options?"
The skill fires correctly when Claude Code suggests the simplest possible solution first, asks what breaks if you delete something, and refuses to add abstractions until you have two real uses for them.

How this performs
Cloud-automation runs, real outputs, and feedback.

Once you deploy it (above), every run will show up here with the actual output, exact cost, and a thumbs button so you can rate quality over time.
Claude Code skill at /Users/olanrewajukareem/.claude/skills/anti-overengineering/SKILL.md. Auto-triggered by description matching when you type in Claude Code, OR embedded into agent system prompts (LeadFlow framework skills are wired this way). Auto-synced from disk every 6h via launchd.
Use this skill on every Claude Code build session, code generation task, architectural decision, or refactoring discussion. Forces ship-first, simple-first defaults so output stays small, debuggable, and shipped. Triggers on every code-writing task —
Local Claude Code use (optional)
Install the SKILL.md file locally so this skill is available the next time you open Claude Code on your Mac. Most users skip this and just use cloud deployments above.
Save this skill to ~/.claude/skills/anti-overengineering/SKILL.md so Claude Code auto-loads it whenever its description matches your prompt.

}That means either: (a) the system has not had a task that matched its strengths, (b) a more cost-effective alternative was picked by the router, or (c) the related automation is toggled OFF on /automations. The Recommender reviews idle tools weekly and may suggest killing it.
