# Chisle quick reference
**What it is:** maximum-efficiency dev mode. Zero-fluff prose + YAGNI-first code, always on together.
## Commands
| Command | Effect |
|---------|--------|
| `/chisle` | Activate |
| `/chisle-audit [path]` | Audit a diff/file/repo for both code bloat AND prose verbosity |
| `/chisle-review` | Review the current diff for over-engineering |
| `stop chisle` / `normal mode` | Deactivate |
Natural language works: "activate chisle", "chisle mode", "chislify this".
## The code ladder
YAGNI → reuse → stdlib → native → installed dep → one line → minimum code.
## Statusline
`[CHISLE]` is shown while active. Configure via
`hooks/chisle-statusline.sh` (or `.ps1` on Windows).
## Never minimal about
Input validation, error handling that prevents data loss, security,
accessibility, anything you explicitly asked for.
