What's inside
- Skill name
lean-diff- Description
- Keep the net diff as small as possible whenever code is written, edited, or refactored — minimal targeted changes over rewrites, no drive-by reformatting or renaming, no unrequested abstractions, and a git diff review before calling any code change done. Use on every coding task, not just explicit refactors. Also invocable directly to audit and trim the current uncommitted diff.
