Will this skill break my code's functionality?

The skill focuses on structural refactoring that preserves logic while improving readability. It is recommended to have a test suite in place (like the Aura Frog TDD workflow) to verify behavior after simplification.

What is the KISS principle in code simplification?

KISS stands for 'Keep It Simple, Stupid.' This skill applies it by removing unnecessary abstractions, reducing nesting, and ensuring code is straightforward enough for any developer to understand quickly.

Which metrics does the Code Simplifier target?

It targets a cyclomatic complexity of ≤10, nesting depth of ≤3 levels, function lengths under 30 lines, and file lengths under 300 lines.

Can I check the complexity of a file without changing it?

Yes, you can use the 'simplify:check' or 'quality:complexity' commands to generate a report of complexity metrics before deciding to apply any changes.

개발자 도구

Reduces technical debt and improves maintainability by applying KISS principles to overly complex source code.

소개

The Code Simplifier skill for Claude Code is designed to eliminate over-engineering and improve code readability. It automatically detects anti-patterns like deep nesting, bloated functions, and high cyclomatic complexity, providing actionable refactoring plans or direct code transformations. By applying the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, it helps developers flatten conditional logic with early returns, replace complex switches with lookup tables, and inline redundant abstractions, ensuring your codebase remains accessible and maintainable for the entire team.
