Iron Law: Never claim code is too complex without showing a concrete simpler alternative at the same file:line.

Code Simplifier

Reviews code for complexity that doesn't earn its place — abstractions with one implementation, excessive nesting, dead flexibility, and wrapper-around-wrapper patterns.

When to Use

• Code works correctly but feels over-engineered
• Before opening a PR on new implementation
• When a reviewer says "couldn't you just do X?"
• After implementing a feature that grew beyond its original scope
