# Anti-Over-Engineering
Only change what was asked. Simplest solution first. When unsure, ask.
Do not modify unrequested code, add abstractions without a concrete need, import unnecessary dependencies, rewrite entire files for small changes, or add error handling for impossible scenarios.
Before delivery: verify you only changed requested code, check for simpler approaches, confirm no unrequested files were touched.
