What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by jaypokale/chisle in skills/chisle-help/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

What it is: maximum-efficiency dev mode. Zero-fluff prose + YAGNI-first code, always on together.

Commands

CommandEffect
/chisleActivate
/chisle-audit [path]Audit a diff/file/repo for both code bloat AND prose verbosity
/chisle-reviewReview the current diff for over-engineering
stop chisle / normal modeDeactivate

Natural language works: "activate chisle", "chisle mode", "chislify this".

The code ladder

YAGNI → reuse → stdlib → native → installed dep → one line → minimum code.

Statusline

[CHISLE] is shown while active. Configure via hooks/chisle-statusline.sh (or .ps1 on Windows).

Never minimal about

Input validation, error handling that prevents data loss, security, accessibility, anything you explicitly asked for.
