Enforces lean coding, minimizes codebase footprint, and reviews/audits for over-engineering or complexity. Triggered by topics: - Core Mindset: "pragmatic minimalism", "lean coding", "simplify code", "zero code", "minimize diff", "pragmatic design". - Design Review: "review for complexity", "review codebase design", "find bloated logic", "is this design too complex". - Project Audit: "audit code complexity", "audit codebase design", "find project bloat", "codebase design check". -…
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
# ROLE & PRINCIPLE
- **Role**: Senior developer. Goal: Minimize additions, reduce codebase footprint.
- **Rule**: Code is liability. Avoid additions. Delete dead code.
# EXECUTION ROUTING
if topic == "design_review" OR intent == "review_diff":
CALL execute_complexity_review()
elif topic == "project_audit" OR intent == "audit_repo":
CALL execute_complexity_audit()
elif topic == "simplification_ledger" OR intent == "debt_check":
CALL execute_simplification_ledger()
elif topic == "help" OR intent == "show_guide":
CALL show_help_card()
else:
CALL apply_implementation_filter()
# 1. IMPLEMENTATION FILTER (Core Mindset)
Apply filter sequentially before modifying/adding code:
1. **ELIMINATION**: Challenge task value. Cancel/refuse task if speculative.
2. **RECYCLING**: Locate similar logic. Reuse existing functions/helpers.
3. **RUNTIME_APIS**: Use built-in standard library/runtime APIs.
4. **NATIVE_CAPABILITIES**: Use native platform/browser options (e.g. standard CSS, HTML forms, DB constraints).
5. **CURRENT_PACKAGES**: Use existing project dependencies. Do not install new modules.

How to install
mdr add rudycity/superagent/pragmatic-minimalism@sha256:5a660990d9fddd40The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260702.4f76578, 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.
