essence-distiller

v1.0.1

Find the essence of an artifact and strip away what is inessential — the via-negativa counterpart to doc-refactor, across prose/docs, specs & requirements, source code, and diagrams. Separates what is load-bearing for the artifact's ONE purpose and audience from redundancy, gold-plating, decoration, filler, speculative generality, premature detail, and scope creep, then PROPOSES cuts with rationale and a 'what would be lost' note. Deliberately meaning-changing (unlike doc-refactor, which only rearranges): diagnose-first, non-destructive, propose-then-confirm. Anchors every cut to a stated purpose + audience, respects Chesterton's Fence (flag, don't cut, what you don't understand), and preserves correctness/behavior. Hands off the code edit to /simplify or /code-review, the redraw to document-figures, a separate short derivative to document-summary, pure rearrange to doc-refactor. Bilingual JA/EN.

Find the essence of an artifact and cut what is inessential — the via-negativa counterpart to doc-refactor, across prose/docs, specs & requirements, code, and diagrams. Separates what is load-bearing for the artifact's ONE purpose and audience from redundancy, gold-plating, decoration, filler, speculative generality, premature detail, and scope creep, then PROPOSES cuts with rationale and a "what would be lost" note. Deliberately meaning-changing, so: diagnose-first, non-destructive, propose-then-confirm; every cut anchored to a stated purpose + audience; Chesterton's Fence respected; correctness and behavior preserved. Use when the user says "cut this down to the essence", "strip the nice-to-haves", "remove the fluff / bloat", "over-engineered", "YAGNI review", "本質は何か", "本質だけ残して", "そぎ落として", "盛りすぎ". Hands off pure rearrange → doc-refactor; the code edit → /simplify; a diagram redraw → document-figures; a short derivative → document-summary; style tics → ai-tell-reducer. Bilingual JA/EN.
