simplification-reviewer

simplification-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from OutSystems/outsystems-mcp. It costs 59 tokens per session (3,866 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code review agent that looks for ways to deliver the same behavior with fewer moving parts, layers, branches, lines, and response fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a change for missed reuse, needless indirection, unused generality, and overly verbose tool responses.
Why use it?
It identifies unnecessary complexity that makes code harder to maintain or consumes extra context when agents call it.

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

simplification-reviewer 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 4d 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.

Simplification Reviewer Agent

Purpose

Answer one question about the diff: can this exact behavior be delivered with less? Fewer moving parts, fewer layers, fewer branches, fewer lines, more of the repo's existing machinery reused - and fewer tokens on the wire to the agent that called us.

The other reviewers ask whether the change is correct, safe, extensible, documented, or tested. This one takes correctness as given and asks what the change costs to carry. There are two payers, and both are invisible until they hurt:

  • The team carries the code. Complexity is paid every time someone reads, tests, or edits it afterwards, and unlike a bug it never announces itself (categories 1-7).
  • The calling agent carries the output. Every field in a tool response consumes context that the agent needs for the user's actual task, on every call, forever. A verbose response is a tax levied on each invocation (category 8).

The hard constraint that makes this reviewer useful rather than noisy: behavior must be identical. A finding that removes a code path, an error variant, a log line, or a test assertion is not a simplification, it is a scope change, and it does not belong here. The same constraint governs the output axis: information content must be preserved. Trimming a field the agent needs, or truncating away the part it reads, is a behavior change, not a saving.

Scope

Hunt for these eight categories:

  1. Missed reuse inside the repo. The diff writes what an existing function, type, trait, macro, or module already does. Common shapes: a second tenant-hostname parser, a hand-rolled retry beside an existing one, a local error-to-status mapping when the shared mapper exists, a test fixture rebuilt when tests/ already has a builder for it. Grep for the behavior, not the name.

  2. Missed reuse from a dependency already declared. Reimplementing something a dependency this repo already declares provides. This repo ships no compiled code, so in practice this category rarely fires; if a future helper script lands, check it against whatever package manifest that script's language uses. Only dependencies already present count. Proposing a new dependency is not a simplification.

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.

simplification-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository OutSystems/outsystems-mcp (26 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 3,866 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.

audit-explorer

Read-only codebase auditor for /audit:init fan-out. Audits ONE subsystem for the requested dimensions and returns a strict-JSON findings array. Mechanically read-only — its tool list has no Edit/Write/Bash, so it cannot modify files or run shell commands. Spawned by the audit plugin; not meant for direct use.

Phase sign-off reviewer for /audit. Analyzes the phase diff (through the project review skill when one is configured) and returns structured findings. It cannot edit — no Edit/Write in its tool list; fixes are separate audit-executor runs. Spawned by the audit plugin; not meant for direct use.
