Grug-brained Claude Code – AI assistant that hates complexity

I made Claude Code speak and think like the grug-brained developer ( https://grugbrain.dev ). Instead of just following simplicity principles, it actively embodies them - warning about "complexity demons", refusing abstractions until the third time you need them, etc. It's mostly for fun, but I would love to see what others get out of this.
