Anti-sobre-ingeniería. Antes de escribir código, recorré la escalera de decisión: ¿debe existir? → ¿hay biblioteca estándar? → ¿hay característica nativa? → ¿se resuelve en una línea? → mínimo viable. Marca atajos con un comentario que nombre su ruta de mejora.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 149 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 38
No introduzcas abstracciones por "futura flexibilidad".
- Very specific: line 39
No agregues banderas/features/configs por escenarios que aún no pasan.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 149 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Ponytail
Atá la solución corta antes de soltarla larga. Cada vez que vayas a escribir código, bajá por esta escalera y parate en el primer escalón que resuelva el problema.
Escalera de decisión
- ¿Debe existir? Si nadie lo va a usar más de una vez, probablemente no.
- Biblioteca estándar. Si lo trae el lenguaje, usalo. Sin envoltorios.
- Característica nativa del framework. Si el framework ya lo hace, dejalo.
- Una línea. ¿Se resuelve con una expresión? Hacelo.
- Mínimo viable. Lo más simple que funcione para el caso real, no para el imaginado.
Reglas de atajo
Si tomás un atajo, comentalo con su ruta de mejora:
// atajo: validar en cliente; mover a backend si se reutiliza- No introduzcas abstracciones por "futura flexibilidad". Tres usos antes de extraer.
- No agregues banderas/features/configs por escenarios que aún no pasan.
Niveles
- lite — solo la escalera, sin marcar atajos.
- full — escalera + atajos comentados (por defecto).
- ultra — además, rechazá cualquier abstracción nueva sin tres casos reales.
- off — desactivada.
Cuándo NO aplicar
- Bordes del sistema (entrada de usuario, API pública): ahí sí validás y abstraés.
- Código crítico de seguridad: la simplicidad no justifica saltar verificaciones.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
