simplify

Review recent code changes for reuse, code quality, and efficiency, then directly apply straightforward cleanup improvements. Use when the user wants a post-implementation cleanup pass, pre-PR polish, or asks to simplify/refine recent changes. Invoke with `/simplify` or `/simplify <focus>`.

Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, actionable cleanup workflow with concrete commands, parallelized review passes, and a real verification step. The main gaps are a slightly long footgun warning, a missing complete agent-call example, and an absent explicit failure-retry loop.

Suggestions

Add an explicit feedback loop in Step 5 ('if tests/typecheck fail, fix and re-run until clean') to strengthen validation for this batch-edit skill.

Include one complete example `agent` invocation block showing the recommended parameters, so the parallel-passes guidance is copy-paste ready.

Trim the bolded fork-explanation in Step 2 to a single sentence; the parameter guidance already prevents the failure mode.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean and list-driven assuming Claude's competence, with only minor padding — notably the bolded fork warning in Step 2 explaining at length why forking fails, which could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete copy-paste git commands, explicit tool parameters (subagent_type, run_in_background), and specific fix/finding checklists; falls short of 5 only because no complete example agent invocation is shown.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear five-step sequence with an explicit verification step (run tests, then build/typecheck/lint fallback) for a batch-edit skill, but lacks an explicit 'if verification fails, fix and re-run' feedback loop.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clearly headed steps with no nested references and no content that clearly belongs in a separate bundle file; a brief top-level overview/summary and the lack of any quick-reference would push it to 5.

Description

83%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that clearly states both capability and invocation triggers, with concrete natural-language cues and a slash-command invocation. It sits just below top marks only because the named actions are slightly generic and a few trigger synonyms are missing.

Suggestions

Add a couple of common trigger synonyms (e.g. 'clean up code', 'tidy recent changes') to broaden natural-term coverage.

Tighten the 'what' by naming one or two more concrete cleanup actions (e.g. 'remove dead code', 'extract shared helpers') to push specificity toward comprehensive.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several concrete actions ('Review recent code changes for reuse, code quality, and efficiency, then directly apply straightforward cleanup improvements'), but 'review' and 'apply' are slightly more generic than the fully-enumerated anchor at 5.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (review for reuse/quality/efficiency and apply cleanup) and 'when' (a concrete 'Use when...' clause with multiple trigger phrases), matching the comprehensive anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural trigger phrases are present ('post-implementation cleanup pass', 'pre-PR polish', 'simplify/refine recent changes', '/simplify'), giving good keyword coverage, though a few common variations like 'clean up' or 'tidy code' are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The 'simplify/cleanup recent changes' niche is mostly distinct with its own triggers, but it has minor overlap risk with general code-review or refactor skills.
