mkdir -p .claude/skills
2
Download the skill file

Add the configuration to .claude/skills/short-circuit-codex.md

3
Invoke in Claude Code
/short-circuit-codex

Use Cases

Quickly scaffold a new project by applying a proven mental model for breaking down requirements into actionable steps.
Refactor existing code with a focus on simplicity and eliminating unnecessary complexity, following the short-circuit principle.
Generate concise, well-structured documentation or comments that capture the essence of a solution without over-explaining.
Debug complex issues by systematically isolating the root cause using a minimal-viable-test approach.
Design APIs or interfaces that prioritize the most common use cases and defer edge cases until needed.
Optimize workflows or scripts by identifying and removing redundant operations, similar to short-circuit evaluation.

Usage Examples
