simplify-docs

simplify-docs is a skill for Claude Code from tobihagemann/turbo. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,711 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow for comments and Markdown documentation that finds unnecessary, misleading, or repetitive text and then fixes it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean comments and Markdown files in a diff or across the project.
Why use it?
It keeps documentation useful by removing text that merely repeats the code, mirrors names, or describes outdated behavior.

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

simplify-docs 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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Simplify Docs

Review code comments and markdown documentation for unnecessary content, then fix the issues.

Step 1: Determine the Scope

Determine what to review:

  • If a specific diff command was provided (e.g., git diff --cached), use that.
  • If a file list or directory was provided, review those files directly (read the full files, not a diff).
  • If neither was provided, determine the appropriate diff command (e.g., git diff, git diff --cached, git diff HEAD) based on the current git state. When the branch is an open pull request, resolve its base with gh pr view --json baseRefName --jq '.baseRefName', run git fetch origin <base-branch>, and diff against origin/<base-branch>...HEAD: a local branch of the same name can sit behind the remote, which puts the merge base before an already-merged pull request and pulls merged work into the scope. If there are no git changes, default to a full-tree sweep of source files plus top-level markdown.

State the resolved file list before launching the agents: add --name-only to a diff command, or list the files for a file or directory scope.

Step 2: Launch Two Review Agents in Parallel

Emit both Agent tool calls below in one assistant message. Each Agent call uses model: "opus" and no name. Wait for every agent to report before continuing. Do not begin the next step on a partial set, and do not relaunch an agent that has not yet reported. Pass the scope from Step 1 to each agent. Every agent's prompt must direct it to omit name on any Agent tool call it makes itself. Every agent's prompt must also direct it to treat the shared working tree and its git index as read-only and to reach its findings by reading and reasoning; fixes happen in Step 3. Every agent's prompt must also direct it to search the repository with a tool that skips gitignored files, such as git grep --untracked or the Grep tool, and to open or search a gitignored path only when its prompt or a file its prompt directs it to read names it, or when a dependency's installed source is needed to verify a claim, never one holding local configuration or credentials. For an empirical check that verifies a finding, the agent works in a copy of the checkout created at a uniquely named path of its own in the session scratchpad directory. Refer to that copy by absolute path in every command and join chained steps with &&, so a failed step cannot leave the rest running in the shared checkout. Give that copy its own dependency install rather than reaching the shared tree's install by any route. When its own install is not possible, the check is left unrun and reported as such. Before reporting, the agent deletes that copy, its dependency install included, as a command of its own, and confirms the path no longer exists. A copy it could not delete is named by path in its report. HEAD stays where it is: read other refs with git show <ref>:<path> rather than git checkout or git switch. Direct each agent to write its full findings to a file named for its review followed by a random tag, in the session scratchpad directory, and to return that path with its report, so a compaction before Step 3 leaves the findings recoverable.

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.
