Trims a diff to the minimum change that meets its goal, dropping refactors, cleanup, style fixes, and "while I'm here" extras. Use when a diff has crept past its scope or before committing the smallest possible change. Trigger on: "KISS this", "trim this diff", "scope creep", "smallest possible change".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# KISS — Keep It Minimal ## Purpose Given a diff or staged changes, strip everything down to the smallest set of modifications that achieves the stated goal. Nothing more. ## What to remove or simplify - Refactors or restructuring not required by the fix - Variable/function renames that aren't part of the stated goal - Comment additions or edits beyond the changed lines - Import reordering or cleanup - Whitespace normalization unrelated to the change - "While I'm here" fixes — flag these as separate tasks instead - New abstractions or helpers not required by the change - Extra test coverage beyond what directly tests the change - Style or formatting changes outside the modified logic ## What to simplify (overengineering) - Constants or data structures that wrap what could be inline literals - Helper functions called only once — inline them - Intermediate variables that just rename what they hold - Multi-step logic that can be a single expression - Generic/parameterized code where one concrete case exists - Abstractions built for hypothetical future callers - Overly defensive null checks or fallbacks for impossible states …

How to install
mdr add jerseycheese/agent-skills/kiss@sha256:81557bc4176a2752The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.04e815b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
