Will it add new libraries or dependencies to my project?

By default, the skill avoids introducing new dependencies unless you explicitly approve them, keeping your project's footprint stable.

Does this skill change the functionality of my code?

No, the skill is specifically designed to preserve observable behavior and only improves code structure, naming, and readability.

When is the best time to use the Code Simplifier?

You should use this skill after your task is functionally complete and your verification checks (like unit tests) are passing 'green'.

How does it ensure the code still works after refactoring?

The skill automatically re-runs the previous verification checks and appends the transcript to your verification documents to prove no regressions were introduced.

Developer Tools

Refactors and simplifies code for improved readability and maintainability once initial tests and verifications have passed.

About

The Code Simplifier skill automates the process of polishing and reorganizing code to enhance clarity without altering its functional behavior. It operates on a strict 'verify-then-simplify' principle, ensuring that refactoring only occurs after a task is functionally complete and validated. By focusing on reducing duplication, improving naming conventions, and keeping diffs small, it helps developers maintain high-quality codebases while providing automated rerun transcripts to ensure nothing broke during the cleanup phase.

Key Features

Small, incremental diff generation for easy review
Automatic updates to verification logs and transcripts
Automated code refactoring for improved readability
0 GitHub stars
Elimination of code duplication and stale naming
Post-verification workflow to ensure behavior preservation

Use Cases

Standardizing naming conventions across a newly implemented feature
Cleaning up complex logic after successfully passing unit and integration tests
Reorganizing functions into smaller, more maintainable modules
