Description
code-simplifier is an agent skill written for the RTK Rust codebase. It reviews Rust code for idiomatic simplification, looking for over-engineering, unnecessary allocations and verbose patterns, and it applies Rust idioms such as iterator chains in place of manual loops. The skill is strict about what must stay in place. It lists constraints that are never simplified away: LazyLock regexes, which cannot be moved inside functions even when that looks simpler, the .context() call on every ? operator, which is verbose but required, the fallback to the raw command, which stays even when it looks like dead code, exit-code propagation, which must never be reduced to Ok(()), and #[cfg(test)] test modules. That makes it a safe refactoring aid for a project with those rules, because it changes style without changing behavior. It is meant for contributors to RTK who want to tidy a change before review. The skill is a Rust code tool and is not a general-purpose linter. It passes Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk on skills.sh. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk --skill code-simplifier.…
