code-simplification

SUMMARY

What it does

This Agent Skill provides a process-driven methodology for simplifying code while preserving exact behavior. It includes principles (preserve behavior, follow project conventions, prefer clarity over cleverness, maintain balance, scope to what changed), a step-by-step simplification process (understand before touching, identify opportunities, apply changes incrementally, verify), language-specific guidance for TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, and React/JSX, common rationalizations to avoid, red flags, and a verification checklist. The skill is model-agnostic and adapted from the Claude Code Simplifier plugin. It is designed for use by AI coding agents during refactoring, code review, or when reducing unnecessary complexity.
