Chisle — Maximum-Efficiency Dev Mode

A mode skill that strips filler from Claude's prose and enforces YAGNI-first, minimum-code decisions.

Dev & CodingBeginner★ 427⑂ 27AI score 9/10Last updated: Sep 16, 2026

What it does

  • Compresses prose: drops pleasantries, filler, hedging, and manufactured headings/bullets/tables, while explicitly preserving every decisive fact — the fix, the gotcha, the caveat, the why.
  • Efficiency ladder for code: stop at the first rung that holds — does it need to exist (YAGNI) → already in the codebase → stdlib → native platform feature → already-installed dependency → one line → minimum working code.
  • Context diet: grep for the symbol and read only the matching region, narrow commands (ls dir, git log --oneline -10), filter build/test output to failures.
  • Safety carve-outs: compression is dropped for security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations, multi-step sequences, and genuine ambiguity. Input validation, error handling, security, and accessibility are never simplified away.

Who it's for

  • Senior devs tired of verbose preambles and redundant recaps
  • Teams trying to cut token spend and reading time
  • Anyone allergic to one-implementation interfaces and "for later" boilerplate

Examples

  1. Run /chisle, ask why a React component re-renders → "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. useMemo."
  2. "Add a cache for API responses" → a single @lru_cache(maxsize=1000) plus one line on what was skipped and when to add it.
  3. "Compare REST vs GraphQL" → two or three decisive tradeoffs in prose with a verdict, instead of a pro/con bullet wall.
  4. Turn it off with "stop chisle" or "normal mode".
