description: Simplify code for clarity and maintainability — reduce complexity without changing behavior
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Invoke the agent-skills:code-simplification skill.
|
|
|
|
Simplify recently changed code (or the specified scope) while preserving exact behavior:
|
|
|
|
1. Read CLAUDE.md and study project conventions
|
|
2. Identify the target code — recent changes unless a broader scope is specified
|
|
3. Understand the code's purpose, callers, edge cases, and test coverage before touching it
|
|
4. Scan for simplification opportunities:
|
|
- Deep nesting → guard clauses or extracted helpers
|
|
- Long functions → split by responsibility
|
|
- Nested ternaries → if/else or switch
|
|
- Generic names → descriptive names
|
|
- Duplicated logic → shared functions
|
|
- Dead code → remove after confirming
|
|
5. Apply each simplification incrementally — run tests after each change
|
|
6. Verify all tests pass, the build succeeds, and the diff is clean
|
|
|
|
If tests fail after a simplification, revert that change and reconsider. Use `code-review-and-quality` to review the result.
