What problem does it solve? Interfaces with too many visible choices slow users down and increase decision fatigue. This Skill provides a structured method for reducing visible options, deciding whether the user or the system should absorb complexity, and choosing the simplest viable design. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hick's Law application: Cut visible options to what the current task needs, group related choices into categories, and progressively disclose advanced settings. - Tesler's Law reasoning: Decide who absorbs irreducible complexity, defaulting to smart defaults, auto-detection, and inferred values in code rather than pushing configuration onto users. - Occam's Razor tiebreaker: Between equally valid designs, pick the one with fewer screens, states, and moving parts without stripping controls users actually need. - Use Case: When redesigning an onboarding flow with eight upfront questions, apply the four-step checklist to auto-detect what the system already knows, group the rest, and ship the simplest remaining flow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review this settings screen and simplify it using Hick's Law, Tesler's Law, and Occam's Razor.
