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.
