We should create an agent skill which explains some principles of good function design. One of them is YAGNI for function arguments. We shouldn't pre-emptively introduce arguments unless they are needed at the UI level; or if they are helper/internal functions then we definitely shouldn't introduce arguments which are always passed with the same value/non-default values.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/nathanjmcdougall","@type":"Person","name":"nathanjmcdougall"},"datePublished":"2026-03-27T12:50:49.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1621/usethis-python/issues/1621"}
