sdcorejs-simplify

A constrained workflow for simplifying recently changed or explicitly selected executable code while preserving its behavior and public interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after tests pass to refine selected source files, functions, or paths while keeping strings, prompts, configuration, contracts, and behavior unchanged.
Why use it?
It improves clarity and maintainability without changing what the code does or altering protected framework boundaries.

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

sdcorejs-simplify 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Simplify

Shared protocols

  1. Read _refs/shared/runtime-protocols.md, then _refs/shared/tasklist.md; keep progress runtime-only.
  2. Apply Project Context Preflight v2 from _refs/shared/project-context.md.
  3. Read repository instructions, current diffs, relevant approved artifacts, and existing project commands before deciding scope.
  4. Apply _refs/shared/artifact-lifecycle.md only when an explicitly requested durable report is necessary. Never create a mutable session/checkpoint.
  5. Read _refs/shared/user-choice-prompt.md before any user-facing choice or write-mode override.
  6. Localize runtime prose. Keep identifiers, commands, paths, and reusable source English.

Purpose and ownership

Use this workflow utility for bounded refinement of current changed executable source or an explicit source scope (file, function, or path). Preserve observable behavior and prefer clarity over line count.

Do not use it as an implementation track, formatter wrapper, linter autofix, performance optimizer, bug fixer, repair loop, architecture migration, dependency cleanup, documentation or prompt rewriter, test generator, or repository-wide dead-code remover.

Keep dedicated ownership:

  • read-only code or architecture assessment -> sdcorejs-review;
  • structured findings -> sdcorejs-repair-loop;
  • a concrete bug or failure -> sdcorejs-debug;
  • tests or test-oracle changes -> sdcorejs-test;
  • documentation, prompts, guides, or prose -> sdcorejs-documentation;
  • broad/public/architectural refactors -> brainstorming, spec, and plan;
  • approved refactor plans -> sdcorejs-execute-plan;
  • dependency delivery -> sdcorejs-ship;
  • Git artifacts -> sdcorejs-git.

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.

sdcorejs-simplify is a skill published in the GitHub repository sdcorejs/sdcorejs-agent (2 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,848 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
