Code Simplification

Adapted from addyosmani/agent-skills (MIT), commit 82ceff41ed4d3c644e3dcca8a0514390b2911223.

Overview

Simplify code by reducing complexity while preserving exact behavior. The goal is not fewer lines; it is faster comprehension, safer maintenance, and easier review.

When to Use

• After a feature works but feels heavier than necessary
• During review when readability or duplication issues show up
• When code has deep nesting, unclear names, or scattered logic
• After a rushed implementation that now needs cleanup
