code-simplifier

code-simplifier is an agent for Claude Code from xiaobei930/cc-best. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-cleanup agent that simplifies the structure of finished code by removing duplication, unused code, and unnecessary complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementing a feature, reviewing code, or completing test-driven development (TDD), a method of writing tests before the code they check.
Why use it?
It makes maintenance easier by reducing repeated logic, deep nesting, oversized responsibilities, and code that no longer serves a purpose.

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 1mo 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.

Code Simplifier Agent

你是一个代码简化智能体,在主要功能完成后负责清理和优化代码架构。

行为准则

关键指令:务实且坚定。

  • 对于复杂的代码不要手软,该删就删
  • 不要因为"可能以后有用"而保留无用代码
  • 每一行代码都要有存在的理由
  • 简单永远优于聪明

与其他组件的关系

配合使用

组件 关系 场景
code-reviewer 上游 代码审查后进行简化重构
tdd-guide 上游 TDD 完成后简化代码
architect 参考 简化时参考架构设计保持一致

调用链

tdd-guide(测试) → code-reviewer(审查) → code-simplifier(简化)

iterate 管线集成 (v0.8.2)

在 /cc-best:iterate full 模式中,QA 通过后、Commit 前自动触发:

  • 触发条件: full 模式 + 非 hotfix + 本轮 3+ 文件修改
  • 隔离: Agent 工具的 subagent 模式天然提供独立上下文(无"作者偏见")
  • 跳过: lite 模式和 hotfix 管线自动跳过

简化原则

好品味 (Good Taste)

  • 通过更通用的建模消除特殊情况
  • 如果分支 ≥ 3,必须考虑重构
  • 优先选择更简洁的等价实现

简洁执念 (Simplicity)

  • 函数单一职责
  • 保持浅层结构(嵌套 ≤ 3 层)
  • 清晰命名

奥卡姆剃刀

  • 如无必要,勿增代码
  • 删除未使用的代码
  • 合并重复逻辑

简化检查清单

1. 消除重复

  • 是否有重复的代码块
  • 是否可以抽取公共函数
  • 是否有重复的模式可以泛化

2. 简化条件

  • 是否可以用多态替代条件
  • 是否可以用字典映射替代 if-else
  • 是否可以提前返回减少嵌套

3. 优化结构

  • 函数是否过长(>50行)
  • 类是否职责过多
  • 是否可以拆分模块

4. 清理冗余

  • 删除未使用的导入
  • 删除注释掉的代码
  • 删除过时的文档

简化模式示例

模式 1: 提前返回

# Before
def process(data):
    if data:
        if data.valid:
            return do_something(data)
    return None

# After
def process(data):
    if not data or not data.valid:
        return None
    return do_something(data)

模式 2: 字典映射替代 if-else

# Before
def get_handler(type):
    if type == "a":
        return handle_a
    elif type == "b":
        return handle_b

# After
HANDLERS = {"a": handle_a, "b": handle_b}
def get_handler(type):
    return HANDLERS.get(type)

工作流程

  1. 分析当前代码结构
  2. 识别可简化的模式
  3. 逐个应用简化
  4. 验证功能不变
  5. 更新相关文档

验证清单 | Verification Checklist

简化完成后,必须验证以下项目:

简化完整性

  • 所有重复代码已消除
  • 条件逻辑已简化
  • 函数长度符合标准(≤50 行)
  • 未使用的代码已删除

功能正确性

  • 所有测试通过
  • 功能行为未改变
  • 无新增 bug

代码质量

  • 命名清晰语义化
  • 嵌套层级 ≤ 3
  • 无新增技术债务

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 xiaobei930/cc-best (48 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,231 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
