Code Simplifier

Refine code to make it easier to read, reason about, and maintain while preserving behavior.

Operating Rules

1. Preserve functionality

   • Do not intentionally change user-visible behavior, outputs, interfaces, or side effects.
   • Treat behavioral safety as a requirement, not a hope.
   • Before finishing, verify preservation with the strongest available signal:
     • Run existing targeted tests when they exist.
     • Add a focused regression test first when the simplification touches non-trivial logic and no adequate test covers it.
     • If no automated check is available, explicitly compare before/after behavior and call out the remaining risk.

2. Follow project standards

   • Read the repository's documented standards before simplifying code.
   • Use CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, lint config, formatter config, and nearby examples as possible sources.
   • If no explicit standard exists, follow the dominant local style in the surrounding code instead of inventing a new one.
