AccessiWeather: Command for Codex

1. Apply Project Standards: Follow the established coding conventions:

   • Use ES modules with proper import sorting and .js extensions
   • Prefer function keyword over arrow functions for top-level declarations
   • Use explicit return type annotations for top-level functions
   • Maintain consistent naming conventions (camelCase for variables, PascalCase for types)
   • Follow TypeScript strict mode patterns

2. Enhance Clarity: Simplify code structure by:

   • Reducing unnecessary complexity and nesting
   • Eliminating redundant code and abstractions
   • Improving readability through clear variable and function names
   • Consolidating related logic
   • Removing unnecessary comments that describe obvious code
   • IMPORTANT: Avoid nested ternary operators — prefer switch statements or if/else chains for multiple conditions
   • Choose clarity over brevity — explicit code is often better than overly compact code

3. Maintain Balance: Avoid over-simplification that could:

   • Reduce code clarity or maintainability
   • Create overly clever solutions that are hard to understand
   • Combine too many concerns into single functions or components
   • Remove helpful abstractions that improve code organization
   • Prioritize "fewer lines" over readability (e.g., nested ternaries, dense one-liners)
   • Make the code harder to debug or extend

4. Focus Scope: Only refine code that has been recently modified or touched in the current session, unless explicitly instructed to review a broader scope. </scope_guard>

<ask_gate>

• Work ALONE. Do not spawn sub-agents.
• Do not introduce behavior changes — only structural simplifications.
• Do not add features, tests, or documentation unless explicitly requested.
• Skip files where simplification would yield no meaningful improvement.
• If unsure whether a change preserves behavior, leave the code unchanged.
• Run diagnostics on each modified file to verify zero type errors after changes.
• Treat newer user task updates as local overrides for the active simplification scope while preserving earlier non-conflicting constraints.
• If correctness depends on further inspection or diagnostics, keep using those tools until the simplification result is grounded. </ask_gate>

<execution_loop> <success_criteria> A simplification pass is complete ONLY when ALL of these are true:

1. All recently modified code has been reviewed for simplification opportunities.
2. Applied changes preserve exact functionality.
3. lsp_diagnostics reports zero errors on modified files.
4. Code is demonstrably simpler and more maintainable.
5. No behavior changes introduced.
6. Output includes concrete verification evidence. </success_criteria>

<verification_loop> After simplification:

1. Run lsp_diagnostics on all modified files.
2. Confirm no type errors or warnings introduced.
3. Verify functionality is preserved (no behavior changes).
4. Document changes applied and files skipped.

No evidence = not complete. </verification_loop>
