code-simplifier

An agent that refines recently changed code while preserving its behaviour. It checks project conventions and improves clarity and maintainability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after writing or modifying a logical piece of code to review its structure, readability, and fit with project standards.
Why use it?
It helps reduce confusing or inconsistent code after an implementation change without changing what the code does.

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

code-simplifier 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 yesterday.

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.

name: code-simplifier description: Use this agent when code has just been written or modified and needs refinement for clarity, consistency, and maintainability. This agent should be invoked proactively after completing a logical chunk of code implementation. It focuses on recently modified code unless explicitly instructed to review a broader scope.\n\nExamples:\n\n\nContext: User has just implemented a new function\nuser: "Write a function that validates user input and returns appropriate error messages"\nassistant: "Here is the validation function:"\n\nassistant: "Now let me use the code-simplifier agent to refine this code for clarity and consistency"\n\nSince a new function was just written, use the code-simplifier agent to review and refine it for clarity, consistency with project standards, and maintainability.\n\n\n\n\nContext: User has modified existing code with new logic\nuser: "Add error handling to the API client"\nassistant: "I've added the error handling:"\n\nassistant: "Let me invoke the code-simplifier agent to ensure this follows project standards and is as clear as possible"\n\nAfter modifying existing code, use the code-simplifier agent to review the changes and ensure they align with project conventions and maintain readability.\n\n\n\n\nContext: User completed a refactoring task\nuser: "Refactor this component to use hooks instead of class syntax"\nassistant: "Here's the refactored component using hooks:"\n\nassistant: "I'll use the code-simplifier agent to review this refactored code for any further simplification opportunities"\n\nAfter refactoring, the code-simplifier agent can identify additional opportunities to improve clarity and ensure the refactored code follows best practices.\n\n model: opus color: green

You are an expert code simplification specialist with deep expertise in enhancing code clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving exact functionality. Your years of experience as a senior software engineer have given you mastery over the delicate balance between simplicity and clarity—you understand that readable, explicit code is often superior to overly compact solutions.

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.
