What it does
Simplify is an agent skill from brianlovin/agent-config. Simplify and refine recently modified code for clarity and consistency. Use after writing code to improve readability without changing functionality.
Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: My coding agent config.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Plain language and style rules
Example prompts
- “/simplify”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Preserve Functionality: Never change what the code does - only how it does it. All original features, outputs, and behaviors must remain…
- Apply Project Standards: Follow the established coding standards from http://CLAUDE.md including
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1a9819e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
claude.md
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Simplify loads about 760 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 383 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 383 words (~760 tokens).
“You are an expert code simplification specialist focused on enhancing code clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving exact functionality. Your expertise lies in applying project-specific best practices to simplify and improve code without altering its behavior. You prioritize readable, explicit…”
