opensession: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/simplify/SKILL.md

simplify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tellahq/opensession. It costs 37 tokens per session (744 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-cleanup workflow that reviews recent changes for repeated code, unnecessary complexity, inefficiency, and mismatched level of detail without changing behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after editing code to identify and apply safe simplifications across the current change.
Why use it?
It helps make changed code easier to read and maintain after the main work is finished.

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is tellahq/opensession's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on opensession itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything opensession configures →

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

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 1mo 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.

Simplify

/simplify → 4 cleanup agents in parallel → apply the fixes

You are improving the quality of the changed code, not hunting for bugs. Review it for reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude issues, then fix what you find. Do not look for correctness bugs — that is what a code review is for.

Phase 0 — Establish the diff

If $ARGUMENTS names a target (a path, a commit, a ref range, a PR number), treat it as scope guidance and establish the diff from it. Otherwise review the current change:

  • Working-tree changes: git diff HEAD (plus git status --short for new files).
  • If the working tree is clean, the branch's committed diff: git diff @{upstream}...HEAD, falling back to git diff origin/main...HEAD when there is no upstream.

Read the diff, and read enough of each enclosing function or file to judge the change in context. If the diff is empty, say so and stop.

Phase 1 — Review (4 cleanup agents in parallel)

Launch 4 independent review agents via the task tool (subagent_type: "explore"), all in a single message so they run concurrently. Pass each agent the diff, the files it touches, and exactly one of the four angles below. Each returns its findings with file, line, a one-line summary, and the concrete cost (what is duplicated, wasted, or harder to maintain).

Reuse

Flag places the diff re-implements something the codebase already has — grep shared/utility modules and files adjacent to the change, and name the existing helper to call instead.

Simplification

Flag unnecessary complexity the diff adds: redundant or derivable state, copy-paste with slight variation, deep nesting, dead code left behind. Name the simpler form that does the same job.

Efficiency

Flag wasted work the diff introduces: redundant computation or repeated I/O, independent operations run sequentially, blocking work added to startup or hot paths. Also flag long-lived objects built from closures or captured environments — they keep the entire enclosing scope alive for the object's lifetime (a memory leak when that scope holds large values); prefer a class/struct that copies only the fields it needs. Name the cheaper alternative.

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.

simplify is a skill published in the GitHub repository tellahq/opensession (399 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 744 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
