find-simplifications

find-simplifications is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from QwenLM/qwen-code. It costs 103 tokens per session (6,004 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A periodic search through Qwen Code for unused or unnecessary code, files, translations, exports, and scaffolding. A code consumer is the part of a project that actually uses a component.

In plain words
What is it for?
It surveys the repository, records removal candidates on a tracking issue, and can later turn one approved candidate into a pull request.
Why use it?
It finds excess code that nobody needs while requiring evidence about every consumer before anything is removed.

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 C, and why

find-simplifications scanned grade C with 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 370 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Finding qwen-code Simplifications

AGENTS.md § Simplicity First — "Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative." This skill hunts what that principle already rejected but that shipped anyway. It owns correct code nobody needs, repo-wide, with no diff to anchor on.

Every candidate names the surface, names every consumer, and says what breaks when it goes. A candidate whose consumers cannot all be named is dropped — not downgraded, dropped.

Read this file, then the one document for your phase. Do not survey or land from this file alone; if the phase document cannot be read, stop and say so.

Phase Document
Survey (default): find and file references/survey.md
Land: turn ONE approved candidate into a PR references/land.md

Issue First, PR Second

A run's deliverable is a comment on the tracking issue, not a PR.

Survey → file candidates on the tracking issue → maintainer says yes to one
       → land that one → one PR, one candidate.

This is not ceremony. AGENTS.md § Core Infrastructure ends "When in doubt, escalate. Better to wrongly escalate than to wrongly approve," and an unrequested batch of deletions is the shape that gets closed. It also makes the ledger free: the issue that carries the proposals is the same object the next run reads to avoid re-proposing them.

A maintainer asking for a PR in this session counts as assent — record it on the ledger before opening the PR.

Boundaries

Skill Owns Why not this one
bundled /simplify The diff you just wrote; stops when there is no diff Cannot see surface accumulated across releases
/repo-hygiene Wrong code — a defect provable by evidence; bans "cleaner / more modern / more consistent" edits Its six angles are all defect classes
bundled /review Judging a change that exists Your change does not exist yet
/create-issue Filing an issue well Use it to create the ledger issue when missing — it cannot comment; post run comments with gh issue comment
/prepare-pr pr-title.txt / pr-body.md from the repo template Call it in the land phase; do not reinvent PR rules
/verify-pr Behavioral A/B evidence for a PR A deletion has no behavior to demo
/bugfix, /feat-dev, /deflake, /docs-* A defect, a feature, a flaky test, prose None of them remove surface

What ships with it

2 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.

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.

find-simplifications is a skill published in the GitHub repository QwenLM/qwen-code (27,657 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 6,004 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
