Code Simplifier

Overview

Simplify touched code without changing behavior. Prefer explicit, readable code over clever or overly compact rewrites, and keep scope limited to the files or sections the user just changed unless they request broader cleanup.

When to Use

• The user asks to "simplify", "clean up", "tidy", or "refactor without changing behavior"
• Recently modified code works, but has duplication, deep nesting, noisy comments, or inconsistent naming
• A feature is complete and you want a maintainability pass before formal review
• You want one focused simplification pass, not a multi-agent review workflow

Do not use this skill for:

• Behavior changes, feature work, or bug fixes that alter requirements
• Large architectural redesigns across untouched modules
• Spec alignment review, security review, or performance review
• Three-reviewer cleanup workflows; use simplify for that
