code-simplification

code-simplification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,465 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of code-simplification, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for making a named piece of code shorter, less repetitive, or easier to read while keeping its behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps remove duplication, simplify conditions, extract or combine code, and improve readability.
Why use it?
It limits cleanup to the selected code and checks that the change does not alter what the code does.

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

code-simplification 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to code-simplification — 0 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code simplification

Two modes share one authority: reversible local edits to a named target, no new public surface, behavior preserved. Measured mode proves reduction with the test suite; clarity mode proves preservation by reasoning over the recorded behavior contract.

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User asks to simplify, clean, refactor, or improve the readability of code, or review flags bloat beyond the current diff.
Authority Reversible local edits to the named target only. May refactor, extract, inline, and collapse conditionals; may not add new public surface or edit files outside the target.
Side effect Refactoring edits to the named target only; no new public surface.
Done Mode-specific done predicate holds (see each mode); behavior is preserved by tests (measured) or by recorded-contract reasoning (clarity).

Inputs

  • Target (required): the file, module, function, or range to simplify. Named by the user.
  • Test command (required for measured mode): the command that runs the test suite proving behavior preservation.
  • Bloat signal (optional, measured mode): a review-flagged duplication hotspot or branch-complexity concern to prioritize. If absent, measure duplication and branch complexity on the target.
  • Constraints (optional, clarity mode): behavior that must stay identical (public signatures, outputs, side effects, ordering). Infer these from the code when omitted.

Mode selection

User says Mode Gate
simplify, clean, debloat, reduce duplication or complexity, review flagged bloat measured Test suite green and bloat signal lower than baseline
simplify for readability, clean up, refactor for clarity, make this clearer clarity Recorded behavior contract unchanged after each edit

When the user names a test command or a bloat signal, use measured mode. When the user names only a readability goal and no test command, use clarity mode. When both are supplied, use measured mode and prefer clarity-preserving candidates.

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.
