simple-design

Kent Beck's four rules of simple design applied pragmatically, meta first: the four rules (passes the tests, reveals intention, no duplication, fewest elements) as one priority-ordered decision procedure for the refactor step, how to arbitrate when the rules pull against each other, and simple design as emergent rather than up-front, with each individual rule owned by its sibling plugin (TDD, clean-code, simplicity-principles, refactoring). Composable with your own conventions.
