Evaluates and prevents unnecessary abstractions by analyzing interfaces, layers, and patterns against concrete requirements. Use when evaluating new abstractions, reviewing architecture proposals, detecting over-engineering, or simplifying existing code. Triggers on "is this abstraction necessary", "too many layers", "simplify architecture", "reduce complexity", "over-engineered", "do we need this interface", or when reviewing design patterns.
Post-completion self-review for coding agents that runs simplify, harden, and micro-documentation passes on non-trivial code changes. Use when: a coding task is complete in a general agent session and you want a bounded quality and security sweep before signaling done. For CI pipeline execution, use simplify-and-harden-ci.
Deep code simplification, refactoring, and quality refinement. Analyzes structural complexity, anti-patterns, and readability debt, then applies targeted refactoring preserving exact behavior. Language-agnostic: Python, Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust. Use this skill when the goal is simplification and clarity rather than bug-finding. Triggers on: "simplify this code", "clean up my code", "refactor for clarity", "reduce complexity", "make this more readable", "code quality pass", "tech debt cleanup", "run the code refiner", "simplify recent changes", "this code is messy", "too much nesting", "this function is too long", "clean this up before I PR it", "tidy up my code", cyclomatic complexity, cognitive complexity, code smells.
Review a git diff or explicit file scope for reuse, code quality, efficiency, clarity, and standards issues, then optionally apply safe Codex-driven fixes. Use when the user asks to "simplify code", "review changed code", "check for code reuse", "review code quality", "review efficiency", "simplify changes", "clean up code", "refactor changes", or "run simplify".
Review a diff for clarity and safe simplifications, then optionally apply low-risk fixes.
Simplify and clean code
Guide for debugging issue on a specific code sections, pattern, or files. Used this skill when user asking for assistant when debugging an issues or explaining a code.
CI-only Simplify & Harden workflow for pull requests using gh-aw (GitHub Agentic Workflows). Runs headless scan-and-report checks for simplify/harden/document, posts structured findings, and can block merges on critical or advisory classes. Use when: you want automated quality/security review in CI without interactive approvals.
Perform a refactor pass focused on simplicity after recent changes. Use when the user asks for a refactor/cleanup pass, simplification, or dead-code removal and expects build/tests to verify behavior.
Refactor code to simplify it without changing behavior.
TDD-based code simplification that preserves behavior through tests. Use Red-Green-Refactor cycles to simplify code one test-verified change at a time. **DISTINCT FROM**: General code review or AI rewriting—this skill requires existing tests and only proceeds when tests confirm behavior is preserved. **PROACTIVE**: Auto-invoke when test-covered code has complexity (functions >50 lines, high cyclomatic complexity, duplication) and user wants to simplify it safely. Trigger phrases: 'clean up code', 'make code simpler', 'reduce complexity', 'refactoring help'. **NOT FOR**: Adding features or fixing bugs—use /tdd skill instead.
The Essentialist. Ruthlessly simplifying code, removing dead features, and enforcing Clean Architecture.
