sdlc-4-simplify

sdlc-4-simplify is an agent for Claude Code from hackersandwizards/artificer. It costs 20 tokens per session (202 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cleanup step for code changed during an earlier development stage, with the requirement that its behavior stays the same.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an implementation stage to simplify the changed files, improve reuse and efficiency, and prepare a short handoff summary.
Why use it?
Newly changed code may contain repetition or unnecessary complexity even when it works. This step makes that code easier to reuse and maintain without altering its results.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sdlc-4-simplify scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Tidy the implementation from the previous stage without changing its behavior.

  • Read the previous stage's summary and changed files to understand the implementation to simplify.
  • Invoke the /simplify skill to clean up the changed code for reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude.
  • Output a short summary of what was simplified plus the changed files as the handoff to the next stage.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
