What it does
Simplify And Harden is an agent skill from pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills. Post-completion self-review for coding agents that runs simplify, harden, and micro-documentation passes on non-trivial code changes. Use when: a coding task is complete in a general agent session and you want a bounded quality and security sweep before signaling done. For CI pipeline execution, use simplify-and-harden-ci.
Its SKILL.md is about 6.2k 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD.
When your agent uses it
- : a coding task is complete in a general agent session and you want a bounded quality and security sweep before signaling done
- Tasks that involve CI/CD
Example prompts
- “/simplify-and-harden”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Implement the task.
- Run Simplify & Harden to clean, harden, and document non-obvious decisions.
- Run an independent review pass for severity-ordered findings.
- Merge only after both passes are addressed.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a836dc. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 And Harden loads about 6.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,357 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 2,357 words (~6,243 tokens).
