simplify-stuff skillA
simplify-stuff is agent-read markdown (skill) from reidemeister94/development-skills: Remove unnecessary content and simplify files while preserving useful behavior and project knowledge..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Simplify stuff Use the argument or request as the scope. Apply the [writing contract](../../shared/writing.md). Inspect the target, relevant references, and inbound callers before deleting or moving content. Delete what carries no useful behavior, fact, constraint, or decision. Merge repeated information into its owner, then simplify what remains. Keep project conventions and non-obvious operational knowledge. A shorter file that loses these facts is a regression. Check names, paths, commands, conventions, links, and relevant behavior after the change. Record material removals and their reasons in an existing decision record when useful. Do not create a new process or file merely to document a routine wording edit.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add reidemeister94/development-skills/simplify-stuff@git:20260919.a9f7da5mdr add reidemeister94/development-skills/simplify-stuff@sha256:031b1c16c66754a1Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
