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 | $0.00020 | $0.00310 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00155 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00031 |
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 5d 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-simplification
When To Use
- Code works but is hard to read, modify, or review.
- A refactor or cleanup is explicitly requested.
- Complexity blocks a needed change.
Workflow
- Define the behavior that must not change.
- Apply Chesterton's Fence: understand why code exists before removing it.
- Identify needless branches, indirection, duplication, cleverness, and dead paths.
- Prefer deletion and clearer control flow over new abstractions.
- Make one simplification at a time.
- Run behavior-preserving checks after each meaningful change.
- Stop when the requested simplification is achieved.
Anti-Rationalization
| Excuse | Rebuttal |
|---|---|
| "This looks unused." | Prove it with references, tests, or runtime behavior before deleting. |
| "A new abstraction will clean this up." | Abstractions add surface area; use them only when they reduce real complexity. |
| "Refactors do not need tests." | Behavior-preserving changes need evidence that behavior was preserved. |
Verification
- Behavior before and after is covered by tests or focused checks.
- Removed code was shown to be unnecessary.
- Complexity decreased without broadening scope.
Exit Criteria
- The code is simpler and behavior is preserved.
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-simplification is a skill published in the GitHub repository Plazmodium/odin-workflow (0 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 310 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-01.
Other skills, from other repositories
b123d-modeling
Use this skill when asked to model, build, or modify a 3D part or assembly with build123d — from a text description, a technical drawing (image or PDF), dimensions in a spec, or an existing STEP/STL file.
b123d-edit
Use this skill when the task is to change an existing build123d model or script: "make this bracket 5 mm taller", "move the holes inward", "add a counterbore", "remove this rib", "make it fit this mating part", or "repair the code so the intended edit remains parametric".
new-gh-issue-orchestration
Orchestrates a GitHub-issue-driven delivery workflow from issue intake to PR creation using reviewer-first then worker execution. Invoked when the user provides a GitHub issue link/number and asks to start end-to-end delivery.
hmem-release
Pre-publish checklist for hmem: skills synced, version bumped, tests green, nothing forgotten. Use before npm publish or when the user says 'release', 'publish', 'push a release', or 'neue Version'.
mlflow-traces
Use when working with MLflow traces: debugging via MCP tools, analyzing performance, logging feedback, writing custom scorers/evaluations, or cleaning up trace data.
video-explainer
Teaches Claude how to use the 15 video explainer tools to create explainer videos from research content. Activates when working with video synthesis, explainer creation, or the video-explainer MCP server.
