Start here ​

Install it ​

Open your coding agent in your project, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and tell it:

Install lessloc for this project by following https://lessloc.org/install.md

Your agent checks your computer, installs lessloc for the coding tools it finds, and tells you what it did. Then start a new session. That is all.

What you will notice ​

Almost nothing. Your agent works as before and writes less code. Now and then:

  • when it says "done" but its own tests still fail, it is sent back to fix them first;
  • a placeholder, commented-out code or a stray backup file is refused, and the agent writes the real thing;
  • a commit with problems like these is stopped until they are fixed.

Check that it works ​

Tell your agent:

Check that lessloc works, as https://lessloc.org/agents describes

Remove it ​

Tell your agent:

Remove lessloc by following https://lessloc.org/remove.md

Works with ​
