What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers and product managers avoid building unnecessary features and abstractions, preventing costly bloat and technical debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decision Frameworks: Provides structured tables and checklists to evaluate feature necessity.
  • Cost Analysis: Details the hidden costs of speculative features (build, delay, carry, repair).
  • Antipattern Detection: Identifies common YAGNI violations in code and design.
  • Use Case: When a new feature is proposed, use the "Should I Build This?" decision table to rigorously assess its immediate value versus future potential, ensuring resources are focused on essential functionality.

Quick Start

Use the code-yagni skill to evaluate if a proposed feature should be built now or deferred.
