Minimal Modular Code

Keep code minimal and right-sized for AI coding agents — anti-slop in the small, modular boundaries in the large. Provenance lives in skill.json; this file is runtime routing only.

Produces: a change-plan.md (DO), an audit-report.md plus a findings-ledger + workflow-state when tracked (REVIEW), or a design-doc.md / refactor-runbook.md / explanation.md (DESIGN).

Core principle

Invest in interfaces, not implementations; enforce with gates, not prose; delete scaffolding as models improve. The scarce resource is accountable review, not code generation — so the bar for any line, abstraction, or boundary is whether it earns the attention it will cost. Minimal is not fewest lines or smallest units; it is nothing left to take away — powerful behavior behind a simple interface, reused before rebuilt, legible to a reader with a finite context window.
