What it does
Helps with ai & agent building tasks.
Files
Code Simplifier
Clean up and simplify code after making changes.
When to Use
Run this skill after completing a feature or fix to ensure the code is clean, readable, and maintainable.
Simplification Goals
Reduce Complexity
- Break long functions into smaller, focused ones
- Reduce nesting depth (max 3 levels)
- Simplify complex conditionals
- Extract magic numbers to named constants
Improve Readability
- Use descriptive variable and function names
- Add clarifying comments for non-obvious logic
- Ensure consistent formatting
- Remove unnecessary comments
Apply Pythonic Patterns
- Use list/dict/set comprehensions where appropriate
- Use
withstatements for resource management - Use
enumerate()instead of manual indexing - Use
zip()for parallel iteration - Use f-strings for formatting
- Use
pathlibfor file paths
Clean Up
- Remove unused imports
- Remove unused variables
- Remove commented-out code
- Remove redundant code paths
- Consolidate duplicate logic
Workflow
1. Identify Changed Files
- Focus on files modified in the current session
- Or specify files/directories as arguments
2. Analyze Each File
- Check for simplification opportunities
- Prioritize high-impact improvements
3. Apply Simplifications
- Make incremental changes
- Preserve original behavior
- Run tests after each change
4. Format and Lint
- Run
ruff format . - Run
ruff check --fix .
5. Verify
- Run tests:
pytest - Ensure behavior unchanged
Arguments
Optionally specify files or directories to simplify.
Usage:
/code-simplifier- Simplify recently changed files/code-simplifier src/module.py- Simplify specific file/code-simplifier src/- Simplify entire directory
Example Transformations
Before:
result = []
for i in range(len(items)):
if items[i].is_valid == True:
result.append(items[i].value)After:
result = [item.value for item in items if item.is_valid]Before:
if x != None:
if y != None:
if z != None:
process(x, y, z)After:
if all(v is not None for v in (x, y, z)):
process(x, y, z)Code Simplifier
