Stop paying your AI agent for code you don't need
Keeps AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and Cursor to the least code that does the job and still works.
Hi Product Hunt, maker here.
"If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as 'lines produced' but as 'lines spent.'" Dijkstra wrote that in 1988, and AI agents make it truer every day. Writing code is now almost free. Reading, reviewing and maintaining it is not.
Agents optimize for "done". They add a helper next to one that already exists, an option nobody asked for, a placeholder for later. Each one works today and costs you every day after.
lessloc puts the principles good engineers already follow into the agent's loop, through hooks that run on every task:
• YAGNI: no wrapper, option, flag or file nobody asked for
• DRY: one implementation per rule, reusing what your project already has
• Simplest first: not needed → already in your code → the standard library → an installed dependency → only then new code
• Clean finish: dead code deleted, no placeholders or commented-out code, and if its own tests still fail at "done", it goes back to fix them
Less code never comes at the cost of correctness. On 117 real changes judged by hidden tests: 27% less code and 23% lower cost per task, with the same results. Every task and the method: lessloc.org/benchmarks
The vision: codebases that get better, not bigger, as agents write more of them.
To install, tell your coding agent:
"Install lessloc for this project by following https://lessloc.org/install.md"
Free, Apache-2.0. No account, no API key, no network calls. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and 16 more.
Which principle should your agent follow next?
