script-simplification

script-simplification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stark-ai-de/agent-skills. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,400 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository-maintenance workflow for finding, simplifying, consolidating, or removing scripts and command-line entry points. It checks how callers use them before suggesting changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory scripts, identify unused or overlapping commands, and validate focused cleanup changes.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicate wrappers and unnecessary automation without removing behavior or safeguards that other code relies on.

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

script-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 6d 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.

Script Simplification

Goal

Reduce the number of mechanisms a maintainer must understand while preserving the behavior and safeguards that callers rely on. A shorter diff alone is not evidence of improvement.

When to use

  • The user asks to simplify, consolidate, or remove repository scripts or CLI entry points.
  • A script duplicates a workflow, package command, generated wrapper, or standard tool and its actual use needs checking.
  • Several repositories need separately reviewable script cleanup.

When not to use

  • The task is only runtime performance tuning, dependency updates, or a broad health audit without a script-maintenance goal.
  • A focused failed pipeline needs diagnosis first; use the repository's CI debugging workflow.
  • A change primarily decides architecture or moves runtime ownership; use the repository's architecture workflow before script cleanup.
  • The only proposed change is a language port, line-count reduction, or new helper framework with no demonstrated maintenance benefit.

Workflow selection

The complete workflow set is:

  • assess: inventory scripts and recommend changes without writing files or invoking write-capable checks.
  • simplify: implement and validate a bounded script cleanup that the user already authorized.

For clear authorized intent, announce the selected route and scope and proceed. An assessment, review, or recommendation request selects assess, not simplify. On bare activation, ambiguous cleanup intent, or an options request, show both workflows and ask; an options request alone authorizes no execution. Do not infer merge, deployment, publication, tool installation, or external operations from permission to edit scripts or create a PR. Preserve host Plan and no-write controls. The steps below stay within the selected route.

Inputs to inspect

  • User scope and authorization; exact repository, default branch, worktree, uncommitted changes, and repository instructions or accepted decisions.
  • Script files and generated sources, package commands, CI and release jobs, docs, runbooks, operator commands, and tests that invoke them.
  • Required outputs, side effects, authentication, ownership, size/time bounds, concurrency behavior, error handling, and pinned tool versions.

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.
