What it does

Simplify is an agent skill from truffle-ai/dexto. Review changed code for reuse, quality, and efficiency, then fix any issues found. Use when the user asks to simplify, clean up, dedupe, reduce abstraction, remove pointless types, collapse duplicate contracts, replace bespoke parsing or validation with direct schema usage, or make a recent diff easier to read and maintain.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol, TypeScript and Git. The repository describes itself as: Agent harness and tookit for building AI agents and agentic applications. CLI and SDKs included.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to simplify
  • Reduce abstraction
  • Remove pointless types
  • Collapse duplicate contracts

Example prompts

  • “/simplify”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Changes
  2. Launch Three Review Agents in Parallel
  3. Fix Issues

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6b5060f. 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:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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 loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 542 words (~1,044 tokens).

“Review all changed files for reuse, quality, and efficiency. Fix any issues found.”
