goal-sloc

Playbook for using lines-of-code (SLOC) as a north-star metric to genuinely simplify and improve an engineering solution — without gaming the number. Use when asked to "cut SLOC", "reduce/simplify the codebase", remove bloat/complexity/tech-debt, delete dead code or duplication, or hit a line-count target. Covers preflight (baseline + feedback loops + tooling), an honest reduction order, a self-audit against gaming, stop conditions, and a Flutter reference.
