code-optimization SKILL.md skillA
code-optimization from jnpiyush/agentx is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/code-optimization@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Rewrite working code into its minimal, elegant form -- lower cyclomatic complexity, fewer lines, no dead code, no needless abstractions -- using a Draft -> Optimize -> Verify loop. Use when asked to compress, minimize, simplify, or make code more elegant WITHOUT sacrificing correctness, boundary validation, or readability.
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 Optimization > **Purpose**: Turn correct-but-verbose code into the smallest, clearest correct > version -- lower cyclomatic complexity, fewer branches, no dead weight, no > abstractions that earn nothing. > **Scope**: Behavior-preserving rewrites of a function, file, or small module. > **HARD RULE**: Minimal is a means, not the goal. The goal is the *simplest code > that is still correct, safe, and readable*. Line count is a signal, never a > target. NEVER trade away correctness, boundary validation, tests, public API > shape, or human readability to win lines. If a rewrite makes the code shorter > but harder to read or less safe, it is a regression, not an optimization. --- ## When to Use - A function or file is verbose, over-nested, or over-abstracted and you want it tighter - The user asks to "compress", "minimize", "simplify", "make elegant", or "reduce LOC" - Post-implementation pass to remove accidental complexity before review - A single-use interface, wrapper, or config object is adding indirection with no payoff ## When NOT to Use - The code is already minimal and clear -- stop; do not code-golf for its own sake …

How to install
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/code-optimization@sha256:12aee280c4bc0c7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
