An open-source tool (77 points on HN) constrains coding agents to do the minimum-viable change instead of over-engineering, explicitly modeling the laziest senior dev who'd rather ship two lines than rewrite a module (GitHub). It taps a real pain: agents that gold-plate, refactor things you didn't ask about, and turn a one-line fix into a 300-line PR. I lose more time reining agents in than pushing them forward. Constraint-as-a-feature is underrated.
