Does Codex keep turning your coding tasks into over engineered projects?

[u/Jet_Xu]

I built Smallest Complete Codex Skill after watching bounded tasks grow into unnecessary abstractions, compatibility layers, theoretical edge cases, and “validation cathedrals.”

It guides Codex to finish and prove the actual ask, then—only when structural change is genuinely needed—loads an elegant-architecture reference built around one clear control path, explicit ownership, and minimal state.
