What it does
Simplify Codebase looks for accidental complexity in a project and removes it safely: first proof that the code is superfluous, then removal. The principle: prove first, delete after. Installation by cloning the repository, the exact command is in the README, which is written in Chinese. MIT license.
Who it is for. For developers who want to remove superfluous code from a project and first prove it is not needed.
Good fit when
- You need to find and remove dead and superfluous code
- You need to prove the safety of removal
- You need to clean up a project after agent code generation
Not a fit when
- You cannot let an agent delete code
- You need English documentation: the README is in Chinese
Example request
Find unused code in the module, prove it by searching the project and delete it in a separate commitLimitations
The skill deletes code from the project, so access is extended: work in a separate branch under version control and with tests. The README is in Chinese and part of the instructions has to be read through translation.
How to disable. Remove the skill from the agent's folder or the plugin through the plugin manager.
