Code Simplifier

Code Simplifier is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Tariux/AI-Skills-Not-Awesome. It costs 25 tokens per session (244 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A code-review and rewriting method that makes code as simple as possible while keeping its external behavior unchanged. It follows the ideas of KISS—keep it simple—and YAGNI—do not add what is not needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to simplify existing functions, classes, or modules. It helps reduce needless code and clarify how a program works.
Why use it?
It removes unnecessary complexity that makes code harder to read, test, and maintain. The intended behavior stays the same for users and other code.

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

Code Simplifier 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 11d 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 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.
