Iteratively reduce coupling at any altitude (documents, code modules, applications, repositories): scan for change-transmitting dependencies typed against a coupling model, verify each finding, apply a budgeted batch of safe behavior-preserving reductions, and ledger structural candidates for design routing so repeated runs continue where the last stopped; after a value changes, find and classify every site stating it. Use when: 'reduce coupling', 'decouple', 'loosen coupling', 'too tightly cou…

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'reduce' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'reduce' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named reduce already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/coupling/skills/reduce' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/coupling/skills/reduce' ~/.agents/skills/'reduce' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'reduce' ~/.claude/skills/'reduce' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
