What problem does it solve?

Codebases often accumulate complexity, duplication, and hard-to-follow logic that slow contributors and introduce defects. This Skill provides a disciplined approach to simplifying code while preserving behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Minimal, readable changes: Triage edits to deliver the smallest effect with clear intent.
• DRY prioritization: Identify and extract shared logic only when it improves reuse and maintainability.
• Legibility and durability: Favor descriptive names, small functions, and stable abstractions to reduce future toil.
• Use Case: A feature bug fix reduces nested conditionals and extracted helpers to improve review speed and reduce risk.
