reducing▌

More code begets more code. Entropy accumulates. This skill biases toward the smallest possible codebase.

Measure and optimize Flutter app bundle size across platforms with analysis tools and reduction strategies. \n \n Generates detailed size analysis JSON files via --analyze-size flag to identify large packages, libraries, and assets contributing to bloat \n Visualize and compare builds using DevTools app size tool with treemap inspection and diff functionality to track optimization progress \n Supports Android (APK/AAB), iOS, and desktop platforms with platform-specific workflows, including iOS a

Minimize total codebase size by systematically identifying and removing unnecessary code. \n \n Focuses on final code amount, not effort or churn; a 50-line addition that deletes 200 lines is a win \n Requires loading a reference mindset from the skill's philosophy directory before proceeding \n Applies three core questions: what's the smallest codebase that solves this, does the change reduce total code, and what can be deleted as a result \n Flags common traps like status quo bias, premature f
