Ce Simplify Code
This runs a three-agent code review on your recent changes, looking for duplication, code smells, and efficiency problems, then fixes what it finds. It defaults to your current branch diff against main, which makes it useful right before opening a PR. The reviewers run in parallel checking for existing utilities you could reuse, hacky patterns like parameter sprawl and nested conditionals, and wasted work like N+1 queries. It preserves behavior by running your test suite after making changes. The quality reviewer has some opinionated rules (it'll flag unnecessary React wrappers and comments that explain what instead of why) but skips fixes that would make code longer or harder to read.

Files
Simplify code for clarity, reuse, quality, and efficiency, and prune tests and comments that carry no value, while preserving exact behavior. Prioritize readable, explicit code over compact code — fewer lines is not the goal.
Mode
Strip a mode:pipeline token, a size-cutoff:<N> token, and every proof-test:<path> token from the input before reading the rest as the scope. The proof-test path is context for Step 3, never scope; a caller may pass several.
- Pipeline when
mode:pipelineis present, or when no one asked for this run in their own current message: a step of another skill, or a run the agent starts itself, such as at a completion boundary. Work only on the current work, apply fixes without asking or waiting, and return the Step 5 summary to the caller. That summary is for the caller's record; never paste it into a commit, PR body, or other artifact. - Standalone when the user's own current message asked for this run. Their request sets the scope and focus. Report findings before editing anything, unless the request says to just fix them. Read
references/standalone-report.mdnow, and again before applying any reported finding.
