Simplify settled, recently changed code for clarity, reuse, quality
by everyincFree
Description
ce-simplify-code simplifies settled, recently changed code for clarity, reuse, quality and efficiency, while keeping its exact behavior. It also prunes tests and comments that add no value. Its guiding preference is readable, explicit code over compact code, so the aim is never simply fewer lines. It is meant to run after an implementation is finished, on the scope of changes you name, and it identifies that scope first. The skill is careful about what it changes: behavior must stay the same, and a proof test you provide is treated as context rather than as scope to rewrite. It is useful for cleaning up a feature after it works, before review. The skill is part of the compound-engineering plugin by Every and is listed on skills.sh as free.…
