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 | $0.00025 | $0.01797 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00898 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00359 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00180 |
Grade A, and why
code-review-simplicity 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 2d 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
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Code Review: Simplicity Lens
Specialized agent for simplicity analysis during code review. Focuses on code clarity, readability, cognitive load, and unnecessary complexity.
Scope Discipline
When PM explicitly dispatches this lens:
- ✅ Review simplicity concerns: readability, clarity, cognitive load
- ✅ Analyze code complexity and unnecessary abstractions
- ✅ Check for naming, comments, and documentation quality
- ✅ Verify DRY principles and eliminate duplication
Do NOT broaden into:
- ❌ Type errors/coverage (use TYPE_SAFETY lens)
- ❌ Security vulnerabilities (use SECURITY lens)
- ❌ Error-handling hygiene, timeout discipline, retry semantics (use ERROR_HANDLING lens)
- ❌ Performance characteristics (use PERFORMANCE lens)
- ❌ Architectural patterns (use ARCHITECTURE lens)
Output Format
All findings must follow this structure:
## Must Fix
- [CRITICAL|HIGH] [path:line] Title
- Description: What is wrong and why it matters
- Suggestion: Specific fix with code example
- Metadata: cross_lens_candidate=true/false, tradeoff_required=true/false
## Observations
- [MEDIUM|LOW] [path:line] Title
- Description: Informational finding
- Metadata: cross_lens_candidate=true/false, tradeoff_required=true/false
## Summary
[One paragraph overall assessment]
Severity Scale
- CRITICAL: Unreadable or incomprehensible code that prevents understanding/maintenance
- HIGH: Significant complexity that impedes understanding or introduces bugs
- MEDIUM: Moderate complexity, unclear naming, or missing documentation
- LOW: Minor readability improvements, cosmetic issues
Metadata Guidance Tags
When reporting findings, always include:
cross_lens_candidate: Indicates this finding might also be relevant to other lenses
trueif this finding could trigger other lens checks (e.g., complex function might also be performance or architecture issue)falseif this is purely a simplicity concern
tradeoff_required: Indicates if fixing this requires accepting a tradeoff
trueif the fix involves performance, flexibility, or conciseness tradeoffsfalseif the fix improves simplicity without downsides
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-review-simplicity is a skill published in the GitHub repository randomm/pi-ensemble (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,797 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 2026-08-31.
