It's code review and cleanup on the changes you've made in your current branch. \n\n## What it does\n\nCaptures your current diff (`git diff HEAD` + untracked files), then runs **three review subagents in parallel** — each focused on a different dimension:\n\n1. **Code Reuse** — missed opportunities to use existing helpers, hand-rolled logic that duplicates utilities elsewhere in the repo\n2. **Code Quality** — redundant state, parameter sprawl, copy-paste, stringly-typed code, verbose patterns\n3. **Efficiency** — unnecessary work, N+1 patterns, missed concurrency, hot-path bloat\n\nReviewers **do not edit files**. They return their findings as JSON. The main agent then merges everything, resolves overlaps deterministically using cross-cutting principles, and applies edits sequentially.\n\n### Principles (applied to every finding)\n\n- **Preserve behavior** — a refactor that changes output on any input (even malformed input) is a redesign, not a simplification\n- **Clarity over brevity** — fewer lines is not the goal; a reader grokking the code on first pass is\n- **Respect house conventions** — `CLAUDE.md` rules win over generic idioms\n\nWhen two reviewers propose different rewrites for the same region, the principles break the tie. When principles can't discriminate, **neither is applied** — both are logged under \"Noticed but not applied\" so you can opt in if you want one.\n\n### Why review-then-apply (and not edit-in-parallel)\n\nIf three subagents call `Edit` on the same files concurrently, they race. Late writers either fail loudly or — worse — silently skip when they see \"my change is already there\", dropping real findings. Parallelizing the slow part (analysis) while serializing writes gets both speed and correctness.\n\n## Install\n\nDrop the skill into your global skills directory:\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/simplify\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gtapps/simplify/main/SKILL.md \\\n  -o ~/.claude/skills/simplify/SKILL.md\n```\n\nOr clone and copy:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/gtapps/simplify.git\ncp simplify/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/simplify/SKILL.md\n```\n\nThen invoke with `/simplify` in any Claude Code session.\n\n## Usage\n\n```\n/simplify\n/simplify memory efficiency\n/simplify \"avoid breaking the public API\"\n```\n\nThe optional argument is passed to all three reviewers as a focus hint — they'll weight that dimension when triaging findings.\n\n## Output\n\nAfter applying, the skill prints a per-file summary plus a \"Noticed but not applied\" section and totals:\n\n```\npath/to/file.ts\n  ✓ [Quality] removed `=== true` comparison on line 31\n  ✓ [Reuse]   replaced manual loop with `.reduce(...)` on line 53\n  ⊘ [Efficiency] skipped — old_string no longer matches (subsumed)\n\nNoticed but not applied:\n  ⚠ [Reuse] proposed `email.partition(\"@\")` with None return for no-@ inputs\n      (lines 95-99) — behavior change vs original (`\"\"`). To apply: ask explicitly.\n\nTotals: applied 2 · deduped 1 · principle-rejected 1 · stale-anchor skips 1 · parse failures 0\n```\n\n## Cost / requirements\n\n- Subagents are pinned to `claude-sonnet-4-6` for predictable cost regardless of the parent session's model\n- Typical run: 3 Sonnet calls (one per reviewer) plus the main-agent merge + apply pass\n- For tiny diffs (\u003c~20 lines, single concern), the skill skips Phase 2 and dispatches a single reviewer to avoid noise\n- The skill is **non-interactive** — it never stops mid-run to ask. Rejected proposals end up in the report, not in a prompt\n\n## License\n\nMIT — see [LICENSE](./LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgtapps%2Fsimplify","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgtapps%2Fsimplify","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgtapps%2Fsimplify/lists"}
