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 | $0.00014 | $0.03381 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.01690 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00676 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00338 |
Grade A, and why
simplify-code 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 3d 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.
This is a copy
98% identical to simplify-code — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Simplify Code — Parallel Review & Cleanup
Review your recent code changes with four focused reviewers running in parallel, aggregate their findings, and apply the fixes worth applying.
This is a cleanup pass, not a bug hunt. You are improving the quality of
code that already works — removing duplication, flattening needless
complexity, cutting waste, and deepening band-aid fixes. Do not go hunting
for correctness bugs here; that's what requesting-code-review is for.
Core principle: Four narrow reviewers beat one broad reviewer. Each one deeply searches the codebase for a single class of problem — reuse, quality, efficiency, altitude — without diluting its attention across all four. They run concurrently, so you pay the latency of one review, not four.
When to Use
Trigger this skill when the user says any of:
- "simplify" / "simplify my changes" / "simplify these changes"
- "review my code" / "review my recent changes" / "clean up my changes"
- "/simplify" (if they're carrying the Claude Code habit over)
Optional modifiers the user may add — honor them:
- Focus: "simplify focus on efficiency" → run only the efficiency reviewer
(or weight the aggregation toward it). Recognized focuses:
reuse,quality(also acceptssimplification),efficiency,altitude. - Dry run: "simplify but don't change anything" / "just report" → run the four reviewers, present findings, apply NOTHING. Ask before applying.
- Scope: "simplify the last commit" / "simplify staged" / "simplify src/foo.py" → narrow the diff source accordingly (see Phase 1).
Do NOT auto-run this after every edit or tack it onto the end of unrelated tasks. It costs four subagents' worth of tokens — invoke it only when the user explicitly asks.
The Process
Phase 1 — Identify the changes
Capture the diff to review. Pick the source by what the user asked for, in this default order:
# 1. Default: uncommitted working-tree changes (tracked files)
git diff
# 2. If that's empty, include staged changes
git diff HEAD
# 3. Scoped variants the user may request:
git diff --staged # "staged changes"
git diff HEAD~1 # "the last commit"
git diff main...HEAD # "this branch" / "my PR"
git diff -- src/foo.py # specific file(s)
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.

simplify-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository MilkyWay008/Hermes-OTG (14 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 3,381 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to simplify-code, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.

dx-roaster
Brutally honest developer-experience audit for a GitHub repo. Scores 10 DX dimensions (time-to-first-success, README clarity, visual proof, install, quick-start, docs, examples, community, trust, marketing), writes a shareable roast in the requested tone (brutal/honest/kind), produces a prioritized action plan ranked…
review-workflow
A review workflow for GitHub pull requests and issues, including judging whether changes can be merged or an issue can be closed. It requires read-only review, REST API access, and testing changes in practice.
specification-compliance-review
Use this skill when an implementation is described as partial, passing, or complete and the task is to determine whether it actually satisfies an explicit specification. This is not a generic code review and not a re-run of the test suite. The central question is: does every normative requirement have both a correct…
deep-security-audit
Multi-agent deep security audit — 6 expert personas (pentester, architect, code auditor, supply chain, data privacy, forensics) + CISO synthesis + optional fix implementation.
github-code-review
Perform code reviews on local changes before pushing, or review open PRs on GitHub. Most of this skill uses plain git — the gh/curl split only matters for PR-level interactions.
verify-ref
Comprehension gate before porting, copying, or adapting an existing implementation. Proves understanding of the reference code before any new code is written. Use when the task is "port X", "copy how Y does it", "adapt Z", or reimplementing existing behavior.
