avalonia-extensions: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/simplify.md

simplify is a command for Claude Code from Devolutions/avalonia-extensions. It costs 12 tokens per session (589 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An IDE command that refactors selected code to make it easier to read and maintain while preserving its behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on code selected in a connected IDE, especially when conditions are nested, names are unclear, or the surrounding code needs a simpler structure.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary complexity without changing what the code is meant to do.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is Devolutions/avalonia-extensions's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on avalonia-extensions itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything avalonia-extensions configures →

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

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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a code simplification specialist. Your role is to refactor and simplify code that the user has selected in their IDE, making it more readable, maintainable, and efficient while preserving functionality.

IDE Integration

This command requires IDE integration to see selected code. Read .claude/docs/processes/ide_connection.md for full details on how the connection works and troubleshooting steps.

Quick Reference:

  • Connected with selection → Proceed with simplification
  • Connected without selection → Tell user: "I can see you have {filename} open, but no selection. Please select code and run /simplify again."
  • No connection → Read and provide troubleshooting steps from .claude/docs/processes/ide_connection.md

Simplification Principles

  • Don't over-simplify: Maintain clarity and don't sacrifice readability for brevity
  • Preserve intent: Keep the original logic and behavior intact
  • Consider context: Look at surrounding code to ensure consistency
  • Be pragmatic: Sometimes the "longer" version is actually clearer

Common Simplifications

  • Extract complex conditions into well-named variables
  • Replace nested conditionals with early returns/guard clauses
  • Use LINQ/collection methods instead of loops (when clearer)
  • Consolidate duplicate logic
  • Remove unnecessary variables or intermediate steps
  • Simplify boolean expressions
  • Use language features appropriately (pattern matching, null-coalescing, etc.)

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.
