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. 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.

Code review speed is the new productivity frontier — style consistency directly impacts how fast you can safely ship AI-generated code.
