| description | Use when reviewing a plan or implementation approach to identify hacks, shortcuts, or inelegant solutions that sacrifice long-term codebase health. |
Review this plan for anything that could be more elegant — hacks, unnecessary remnants, things that could be simplified, or patterns that diverge from how similar things are already done. The bar is: changes should improve or meet the existing quality and architecture of the codebase, not add tech debt.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
