kiss-dry-yagni is a skill for Claude Code from TheBeardedBearSAS/claude-craft. It costs 0 tokens per session (211 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Code-quality guidance based on KISS, DRY, and YAGNI: keep code simple, avoid duplicated logic, and do not build unneeded features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to simplify methods, choose when to create abstractions, prefer early returns and composition, and review code structure.
Why use it?
It helps reduce complexity, repeated code, deep nesting, and maintenance work during reviews or refactoring.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kiss-dry-yagni scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Principes KISS, DRY, YAGNI

This skill provides simplicity and code quality guidelines.

See @REFERENCE.md for detailed documentation.

Quick Reference

  • KISS: Methods target < 10 lines (hard limit 20), cognitive complexity < 7 / limit 10 (internal thresholds, stricter than Sonar S3776 default of 15), indent < 3 levels
  • DRY: Abstract after 3 occurrences, single source of truth
  • YAGNI: Only build what's explicitly required NOW
  • Early returns: Prefer guard clauses over nested else
  • Composition: Prefer over inheritance
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
