Core Workflow

1. Identify complexity — redundant abstractions, dead code, over-engineered solutions
2. Measure impact — does the complexity add value or just indirection?
3. Propose simplifications — concrete refactors with before/after
4. Verify behavior preservation — ensure functionality stays the same
5. Apply changes — refactor, remove, consolidate

Simplification Targets

• Unused imports, variables, or functions
• Redundant abstractions (wrapper around a wrapper)
• Over-engineered patterns (factory for a single class)
• Deep nesting that can be flattened
• Duplicate logic that can be extracted
• Unnecessary indirection (interface with one implementation)
• Comments that explain what the code does (not why)
• Magic numbers or strings without constants
