Review code for dead code, duplication, overengineering, invented APIs, and weak tests. Report safe reductions; no edits.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Code Simplification Review code for unnecessary complexity, ungrounded implementation choices, and safe reductions. Preserve behavior and report evidence in maintainability or reduction mode. 1. **Maintainability**: over-abstraction, generic naming, noisy comments, invented APIs or configuration, stale idioms, dependency creep, and weak tests. 2. **Safe reduction**: dead or superseded code, orphan files, exact clones, redundant wrappers, inert defensive scaffolding, and comment walls. Smaller code is not automatically better. A finding needs a concrete maintenance or correctness cost, an invariant, and evidence that the proposed change preserves contracts. ## When to use - Review code or a PR for unnecessary complexity, AI-shaped code, grounded API use, and useful tests. - Find behavior-preserving reductions before a cleanup change. - Check a removal or refactor diff for lost behavior, fallbacks, or reachable entry points. ## When NOT to use - Find logic bugs, races, or regressions: use **code-review**. - Find vulnerabilities or secrets: use **security-audit**. - Rewrite prose for voice: use **anti-ai-prose**. - Run a repository-wide multi-lens audit: use **repo-audit**. …

How to install
mdr add iuliandita/skills/code-simplification@sha256:14524dc08a3f2095The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.baa0989, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
