code-simplifier from nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog/code-simplifier@git:20260515.6be9f59Pins git:20260515.6be9f59 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Detect and simplify overly complex code. Apply KISS principle - less is more.
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
> **AI-consumed reference.** Optimized for Claude to read during execution.
> Human-readable explanation: see [docs/architecture/HIERARCHICAL_PLANNING.md](../../../docs/architecture/HIERARCHICAL_PLANNING.md)
> or [docs/getting-started/](../../../docs/getting-started/) depending on topic.
# Code Simplifier
KISS principle. Full guide: `rules/core/simplicity-over-complexity.md`
## Signals → Actions
```toon
signals[5]{signal,action}:
Deep nesting (>3 levels),Flatten with early returns
Long function (>30 lines),Extract smaller functions
Complex conditionals,Use lookup tables
Over-abstraction,Inline single-use code
Premature optimization,Remove unless profiled
```
## Targets
```toon
targets[5]{metric,max}:
Cyclomatic complexity,10
Nesting depth,3
Function length,30 lines
File length,300 lines
Parameters,3
```
## Before Writing Code Ask
1. Can I delete this? (unused code, dead branches)
2. Can I inline this? (single-use abstractions)
3. Can I flatten this? (nested conditions)
4. Can I use built-ins? (standard library)
5. Is this needed now? (YAGNI)Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog/code-simplifier@sha256:1b15a4d856e9dac7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.6be9f59, 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.
