Simplify recently changed code to reduce complexity, improve readability, and minimize the risk of introducing bugs during feature work.
Run the simplify pass on your recently changed code after implementing a feature.

Code refactoring after feature changes involves removing unnecessary complexity, inlining single-use helpers, and reducing nesting with guard clauses, which clarifies logic and minimizes bug risks while preserving behavior.
Reducing deep nesting in code logic is achieved by applying guard clauses to convert complex nested conditions into early returns, which clarifies execution flow and improves readability without altering behavior.
Cleaning up speculative and dead code after feature implementation requires running a simplify pass across changed files to drop unused parameters, scaffolding, and feature-flag cruft while maintaining behavior.
Yes, code simplification requires passing tests to preserve behavior, ensuring that refactoring inline abstractions and removing dead code do not introduce bugs or alter the original functionality.
Use guard clauses over nested conditionals during a code refactor when you need to improve readability by replacing complex nested logic with early returns, effectively reducing unnecessary complexity.
