Code Simplifier

This is a refactoring focused skill that cleans up code without changing what it does. It's built for making recently modified code more readable by applying your project's standards from CLAUDE.md, like preferring explicit function declarations over arrows, avoiding nested ternaries, and breaking up overly compact one-liners. The approach is pragmatic: it won't over-optimize or create clever abstractions, and it explicitly prioritizes clarity over brevity. Use it when you want to polish code after a feature push or align messy edits with your team's conventions. It's based on Anthropic's official code-simplifier agent, so the patterns are well considered even if the scope is intentionally narrow.
