# /karpathy-check
|
|
|
|
Review your staged changes (or last commit) against Karpathy's 4 coding principles.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/karpathy-check # review staged changes
|
|
/karpathy-check --last-commit # review the most recent commit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What it runs
|
|
|
|
1. **Principle #2 (Simplicity):** `engineering/karpathy-coder/skills/karpathy-coder/scripts/complexity_checker.py` on all changed files — detects over-engineering, premature abstractions, deep nesting, long functions
|
|
2. **Principle #3 (Surgical):** `engineering/karpathy-coder/skills/karpathy-coder/scripts/diff_surgeon.py` on the diff — detects comment-only changes, whitespace noise, style drift, drive-by refactors
|
|
3. **Principles #1 + #4 (Think + Goals):** The `karpathy-reviewer` agent reads the diff and applies human-judgment checks — hidden assumptions, missing verification
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
A structured report with per-principle verdicts and specific line-level fix recommendations.
|
|
|
|
## When to run
|
|
|
|
- Before committing (catches noise and overcomplication early)
|
|
- After completing a feature (sanity check before PR)
|
|
- When you suspect the LLM overcoded something
|
|
|
|
## Sub-agent
|
|
|
|
Dispatches the `karpathy-reviewer` agent. See `agents/karpathy-reviewer.md`.
