description: Simplify code for clarity and maintainability — reduce complexity without changing behavior

Invoke the agent-skills:code-simplification skill.

Simplify recently changed code (or the specified scope) while preserving exact behavior:

1. Read CLAUDE.md and study project conventions 2. Identify the target code — recent changes unless a broader scope is specified 3. Understand the code's purpose, callers, edge cases, and test coverage before touching it 4. Scan for simplification opportunities:

• Deep nesting → guard clauses or extracted helpers
• Long functions → split by responsibility
• Nested ternaries → if/else or switch
• Generic names → descriptive names
• Duplicated logic → shared functions
• Dead code → remove after confirming

5. Apply each simplification incrementally — run tests after each change 6. Verify all tests pass, the build succeeds, and the diff is clean

If tests fail after a simplification, revert that change and reconsider. Use `code-review-and-quality` to review the result.
