code-simplify
Skill0 starsChanged 7 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Analyze and simplify existing code that works but reads like a rough AI first pass: over-abstracted, repetitive, weakly named, too indirect, too verbose, overengineered, full of ceremony, or structurally awkward for humans to maintain. Use when the user asks to simplify code, reduce AI slop, make code more understandable, clean up first-pass AI output, remove indirection, remove ceremony, collapse abstraction, make code less clever, make it readable for humans, improve naming, collapse needless helpers or wrappers, inline or extract logic, rename or move classes, or refactor toward clearer human-owned structure while preserving behavior. Supports review-only and apply modes. Do not use for feature work, bug fixes, or broad style-only rewrites.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
30 rules. 0 are common, 22 are distinctive, and 8 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.
22
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
8
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
