code-simplifier

A code-refactoring workflow that removes duplication, dead code, deep nesting, and inconsistent names while preserving the program’s behaviour.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to simplify an existing codebase without adding features or changing business logic. It is suited to focused cleanup such as extracting repeated code or replacing deeply nested conditions.
Why use it?
It compares tests before and after the cleanup so changes that break existing behaviour can be detected and undone.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Checklist

  1. Dead code removal
  2. Extract duplicates (3+ repeats)
  3. Simplify nesting (> 3 levels → early return)
  4. Fix naming inconsistencies

Constraints

  • Do not change business logic
  • Do not add new features
  • Only fix one type of issue at a time
Changes

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.

code-simplifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository sd0xdev/sd0x-harness (188 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 225 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
