briefbound-simplification-audit

briefbound-simplification-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CCDawn/codex-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (931 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review process for finding complexity that may be removed from a code repository or one of its subsystems. It produces evidence-backed findings and a ranked list of simplification candidates.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for dependency-bloat reviews, repository simplification audits, and plans to remove wrappers, duplicate dependencies, unused settings, legacy paths, or repeated logic.
Why use it?
It helps separate unnecessary structure from code that must remain for compatibility, security, recovery, or other constraints. This reduces the risk of deleting useful parts just to make the code smaller.

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

briefbound-simplification-audit 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 7d 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

Briefbound 精简审计

目标

只读审计仓库或子系统中的可移除复杂度,形成按价值和风险排序的精简队列。它补充项目健康审查,不替代 briefbound-project-review

Briefbound task contract

  • Context Boundary: 仓库/子系统范围、入口与依赖、已知架构约束、生成代码/第三方代码排除范围。
  • Output Contract: 证据化复杂度 findings、保留项、精简候选队列和后续 owner。
  • Allowed Action: 只读;不修改文件、不卸载依赖、不移动分支、不改 index。
  • Success Evidence: 每个候选都有路径/引用/依赖或调用证据,并说明收益、风险和验证要求。
  • Stop Condition: 审计范围不明、缺少源码/依赖证据、建议涉及行为或架构取舍、或问题主要属于正确性/安全/性能。
  • Route Out: briefbound-project-reviewbriefbound-performance-engineeringbriefbound-planning、对应开发 owner、briefbound-router 或 BLOCKED。

统一调用契约

  • 只处理 Briefbound task contract 范围;不匹配时回 briefbound-router 或更具体 owner,复合任务不吞其他 owner。
  • 用户可见内容默认中文,完成只报状态、产出、证据和剩余风险;代码、命令、路径、错误原文、API/协议、skill 名和枚举保留原样;Route Out 仅以 Briefbound task contract 为准,末行写 下一步建议: <一个具体动作>

审计规则

  1. 先定位入口、依赖清单和高变更/高耦合区域,不为“全面”盲扫全仓。
  2. 重点检查:重复依赖、标准库/平台已有能力、单实现接口、单产品工厂、只转发的 wrapper、废弃 flag/config、并存的 legacy 路径、重复事实源和跨文件样板。
  3. 排除生成代码、vendored/third-party 代码、迁移期间明确保留的兼容层,以及安全、无障碍、数据恢复和真实平台适配约束。
  4. 每项区分“确认可删”“需 probe”“架构取舍”;证据不足不能写成确定结论。
  5. 正确性、测试、安全和总体健康交 briefbound-project-review;需实测的性能问题交 briefbound-performance-engineering;实施方案交 briefbound-planning

优先级:P1 高收益P2 中收益P3 低收益需证据

输出

精简审计:
- 结论: LEAN / OPPORTUNITIES_FOUND / NEEDS_EVIDENCE / BLOCKED
- 范围与排除项: ...

Findings:
- P1/P2/P3/需证据: [位置] 复杂度来源;证据;最小替代;收益;风险。

保留项:
- 必须存在的复杂度及原因。

精简队列:
- 1. ... [SAFE_DIRECT / PLAN_THEN_EXECUTE / DEFERRED / BLOCKED];验证条件...

组合路由:
- 项目健康/正确性/安全 -> briefbound-project-review
- 性能测量 -> briefbound-performance-engineering
- 多项结构调整 -> briefbound-planning

下一步建议: <一个具体动作>

只在可复现计数后报告精确净减行数或依赖数,不拿外部 benchmark 冒充当前仓库收益。

本 skill 的复杂度视角借鉴 Ponytail(MIT),并按 Briefbound 的中文输出、证据和 owner 契约重新组织。

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
