Simplifies a written plan, design or spec against the system it changes: over-engineering, redundant guards and contradictions, as ranked cuts in a separate document. Use when asked what a plan can drop.
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
# Plan Simplify Read a written plan — a migration plan, a design document, an RFC, a spec, a runbook set — together with the system it is meant to change, and report what can be removed or merged without losing safety, speed or a stated requirement. Each finding states what the plan says, why that part is redundant, what replaces it, what goes away and what it costs. The findings go into a separate document next to the plan. The plan itself is never edited by this skill. The question this review asks is "what here does not pay for itself?", not "what will kill this?". The second question is a pre-mortem and belongs to `awesome-design-doc`. Mistakes in the plan's logic surface along the way and are reported too, but the main product is a shorter plan that is just as safe. Bundled file (load on demand): - [`references/simplification-lenses.md`](references/simplification-lenses.md) — the catalogue of over-engineering patterns this review hunts for, each with the question that exposes it and the evidence that confirms it. Read it before the hunting pass (step 5). ## When to Activate …

How to install
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-plan-simplify@sha256:a402f4e6740ed6ffThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.a4259a5, 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.
