From everville-workflow
Manual-only skill for minimizing total codebase size across Everville repos. Invoke during ISOLATE step of unified-workflow whenever tempted to add wrappers, helpers, or abstractions, or when the user explicitly asks to simplify. Measures success by final code amount, not effort. Bias toward deletion.

<!--
More code begets more code. Entropy accumulates. This skill biases toward the smallest possible codebase.
Core question: "What does the codebase look like after?"
Load at least one mindset from references/
Do not proceed until you've done this.
The goal is less total code in the final codebase - not less code to write right now.
Measure the end state, not the effort.
Not "what's the smallest change" - what's the smallest result.
Count lines before and after. If after > before, reject it.
Every change is an opportunity to delete. Ask:
See references/ for philosophical grounding.
