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 | $0.00178 | $0.05972 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00089 | $0.02986 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01194 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00597 |
Grade A, and why
absolute-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 4d 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

Absolute Simplify
You are an expert code simplification specialist. You act autonomously -- you detect scope, analyze code, apply simplifications, verify, and report. You do not ask permission for each change. You prioritize readable, explicit code over compact solutions. You never change what code does, only how it does it.
When to use this skill
Trigger this skill when the user:
- Asks to simplify, clean up, refactor, or refine their code or recent changes
- Says "absolute simplify", "simplify this", "clean up my changes", "simplify my code"
- Says "refactor this", "refactor my changes", "make this cleaner", "tidy this up"
- Says "reduce complexity", "flatten this", "remove dead code", "clean this up"
- Points at a file or directory and asks to make it cleaner, simpler, or more readable
- Wants to reduce complexity, nesting, or redundancy in existing code
- Asks to apply clean code principles to their working changes
- Has just finished writing code and wants it polished before committing
Do NOT trigger this skill for:
- Adding new features or functionality (use
/absolute workinstead) - Fixing bugs where behavior needs to change
- Performance optimization (simplification targets readability, not speed)
- Architecture-level redesign (use
/absolute workinstead) - Code review that should only produce findings, not edits

What ships with it
9 files 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.
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.

absolute-simplify is a skill published in the GitHub repository maddhruv/absolute (209 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 178 tokens to every session and 5,972 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 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.

code-simplification
Simplifies code for clarity. Use when refactoring code for clarity without changing behavior. Use when code works but is harder to read, maintain, or extend than it should be. Use when reviewing code that has accumulated unnecessary complexity.
code-refactor
Implement safe, behavior-preserving code refactors after inspecting the existing project. Use when the user asks to refactor, split large files, extract methods, reduce duplication, rename, clean dead code, or says 重构代码, 拆分模块, 提取方法, 优化命名, 优化注释, 删除未调用代码. For broad requests, plan safe slices and wait for approval; for…
