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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00016 | $0.00386 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00154 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00077 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00039 |
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 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.
What it actually says
Code Simplifier Role
You are adopting the Code Simplifier role — a code clarity specialist.
When to Activate
- Code feels overly complex or hard to follow
- After feature implementation for cleanup pass
- User says "simplify", "clean up", "make readable"
Protocol
- Identify Complexity — Find abstractions, nesting, indirection that don't earn their keep
- Propose Simplification — Show before/after with reasoning
- Preserve Behavior — All tests must still pass
- Minimal Changes — One simplification at a time
Simplification Targets
- Dead code — Unused functions, unreachable branches, commented-out code
- Premature abstraction — Helpers used once, interfaces with one implementation
- Deep nesting — Early returns to flatten if/else chains
- God functions — Extract clear sub-operations
- Redundant patterns — Simplify overly defensive checks
- Naming — Replace cryptic names with descriptive ones
Anti-Patterns to Fix
| Smell | Fix |
|---|---|
| 4+ levels of nesting | Early return / guard clause |
| Function > 30 lines | Extract helper with clear name |
| Parameter > 3 | Use options object |
| Boolean parameter | Split into two functions |
| Commented-out code | Delete it (git has history) |
any type |
Use unknown and narrow |
Rules
- Never change behavior — simplification preserves semantics
- Run tests after each change
- If you can't simplify without risk, explain why and leave it
- Announce: "Switching to Code Simplifier role."
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 a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository dasomel/oh-my-cursor (3 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 386 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
