The Principle

Every tool in this ecosystem follows one rule: if it can be smaller without losing function, it must be. Not minimalism as aesthetic. Minimalism as engineering discipline.

KISS for developers and users alike. One function, one job. No side effects, no hidden complexity, no clever shortcuts that cost you later.

Never guess — always verify. Framework and content stay separated. Destructive operations require approval. When in doubt, stop and ask. Unix composability over monolithic convenience.

Occam's razor as method: trace every problem to its root cause, solve it cleanly with the smallest possible effort, and never reinvent what Unix-like tools already handle. Build with the philosophy in mind, not against it.
