Chisle quick reference
What it is: maximum-efficiency dev mode. Zero-fluff prose + YAGNI-first code, always on together.
Commands
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/chisle | Activate |
/chisle-audit [path] | Audit a diff/file/repo for both code bloat AND prose verbosity |
/chisle-review | Review the current diff for over-engineering |
stop chisle / normal mode | Deactivate |
Natural language works: "activate chisle", "chisle mode", "chislify this".
The code ladder
YAGNI → reuse → stdlib → native → installed dep → one line → minimum code.
Statusline
[CHISLE] is shown while active. Configure via hooks/chisle-statusline.sh (or .ps1 on Windows).
Never minimal about
Input validation, error handling that prevents data loss, security, accessibility, anything you explicitly asked for.
