Show HN: Tighten skill to read AI-generated code faster

TL;DR

After repeatedly asking Claude Code to rewrite things in my coding style, I decided to write a skill to do it automatically.

Key Points

  • Articulating my coding style made me realize that beyond aesthetics, it actually serves an important function: it minimizes the distance between variable references, which means I read code much faster.
  • This is especially useful in the new era of agentic engineering, where the bottleneck is no longer writing code but reading and reviewing it.
  • The skill is called Tighten.

Nauti's Take

Tighten flips the script: instead of humans adapting to AI output, the AI adapts to you. As agentic coding accelerates, your bottleneck shifts from writing to reviewing — and readable code becomes a competitive edge.
