Simplifier

Overview

Dispatch the simplifier agent to cleanup dead code, reduce complexity, and improve code quality. Focuses on Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Rust codebases.

When to Use

  • After implementing features (cleanup pass)
  • After refactoring (dead code check)
  • When code feels too complex
  • When duplication is suspected
  • With "all" for full project quality audit
  • With specific scope for targeted cleanup

Invocation Modes

Default: /simplifier

Scans recent changes for cleanup opportunities.

Task tool with subagent_type="simplifier"
prompt: "Review recent code changes for dead code, complexity, and quality issues.
Identify modified files, find cleanup opportunities, suggest simplifications."

Scoped: /simplifier <scope>

Analyzes only the specified scope (file, module, function).

Task tool with subagent_type="simplifier"
prompt: "Review and simplify code in: [scope]
Focus only on this area. Find dead code, reduce complexity, improve quality."

Scope examples:

  • /simplifier src/handlers - simplify handlers module
  • /simplifier utils/parser.ts - simplify specific file
  • /simplifier internal/service - simplify Go service package
  • /simplifier UserService - simplify specific class/service

Comprehensive: /simplifier all

Perform a planned, modular code quality audit covering the entire repository.

Task tool with subagent_type="simplifier"
prompt: "Perform comprehensive code quality audit of the entire repository.
Create a TodoWrite plan with one item per module or package, then process sequentially.
Consult references/comprehensive-mode.md for the quality aspect checklist and execution flow.
Do not skip any area. Continue until ALL areas are reviewed."

For the quality aspect checklist and example plan, consult references/comprehensive-mode.md.

What the Agent Does

  • Detects unused imports, variables, functions
  • Finds unreachable code paths
  • Identifies complexity hotspots
  • Spots duplicated logic
  • Suggests simplifications with before/after code
  • Reports severity (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)

Examples

After adding a feature:

/simplifier
→ Reviews recent changes, suggests cleanup

Simplify specific module:

/simplifier src/services/payment
→ Focuses only on payment service

Simplify a complex function:

/simplifier processOrder
→ Analyzes and simplifies the function

Full project audit:

/simplifier all
→ Creates plan, systematically reviews every module

Language Focus

Language Key Checks
Go Unchecked errors, empty interface abuse, defer in loops, context propagation
JS/TS any abuse, unused hooks deps, mixed async patterns, optional chaining opportunities
Python Mutable defaults, broad exceptions, unused imports
Rust Unwrap in production paths, needless clones, owned parameters for read-only use, verbose matching

Additional Resources

Language-specific pattern references are available for deeper analysis. When dispatching the simplifier agent, detect the primary language(s) in scope and include the relevant reference content in your dispatch prompt:

Scope Language Reference File
Go references/go-patterns.md
JavaScript / TypeScript references/js-ts-patterns.md
Python references/python-patterns.md
Rust references/rust-patterns.md

Dispatch instruction: Read the relevant reference file(s) and append their content to the agent prompt under a "## Language-Specific Patterns" heading. If the scope contains multiple languages, include all applicable references. If the language is unknown or mixed, include all four.
