What problem does it solve?
This skill helps engineers evaluate code for unintended complexity by applying Hickey's Simple Made Easy framework to PR diffs, code snippets, and review trails. It guides reviewers to identify interleaved concerns, fragmentation, and concept multiplication, enabling targeted simplifications.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structural analysis of code to spot complecting and fragmentation patterns.
- Stepwise evaluation across layers (concerns, invariants, abstractions, patterns, entanglement, and severity).
- Guidance for crafting concrete, implementable simplifications with explicit tradeoffs.
Quick Start
Provide a Hickey-style structural review for the given code diff.
