What it is

This is a CLAUDE.md plugin — a single Markdown file — that distills Andrej Karpathy’s publicly shared observations about the most common failure modes in LLM-generated code: unfounded assumptions, unnecessary edits, over-engineering, and vague success criteria. Drop it into any Claude Code project (or install as a plugin) and the model adjusts its behavior toward more disciplined, minimal code generation. The skill is notable for its simplicity and reach: 121k+ stars make it one of the most-starred Claude Code resources on GitHub. It doesn’t add tools or workflows — it just changes how the model approaches problems, making it compatible with any project or existing skill setup.
Use this when Claude keeps adding boilerplate, making unjustified architectural choices, or editing code that wasn’t in scope — this acts as a behavioral constraint across any project you add it to.
