Code Simplifier

Code Simplifier

Clean up and simplify code after making changes.

When to Use

Run this skill after completing a feature or fix to ensure the code is clean, readable, and maintainable.

Simplification Goals

Reduce Complexity

• Break long functions into smaller, focused ones
• Reduce nesting depth (max 3 levels)
• Simplify complex conditionals
• Extract magic numbers to named constants

Improve Readability

• Use descriptive variable and function names
• Add clarifying comments for non-obvious logic
• Ensure consistent formatting
• Remove unnecessary comments

Apply Pythonic Patterns

• Use list/dict/set comprehensions where appropriate
• Use with statements for resource management
• Use enumerate() instead of manual indexing
• Use zip() for parallel iteration
• Use f-strings for formatting
• Use pathlib for file paths

Clean Up

• Remove unused imports
• Remove unused variables
• Remove commented-out code
• Remove redundant code paths
• Consolidate duplicate logic
