Find and implement evidence-backed simplifications in the ego-lite repository. Use when reviewing the codebase for dead code, duplicated state or APIs, speculative abstractions, unnecessary compatibility layers, hand-written infrastructure, excessive tests or documentation, or when the user asks to reduce code size or maintenance complexity without hiding behavior changes.
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
# Simplify ego-lite Reduce concepts and maintenance surface, not just line count. Prefer a few well-proven deletions over a long list of guesses. ## Establish the contract 1. Read `AGENTS.md` and the design document that owns the affected behavior. 2. Inspect `git status` and preserve unrelated user changes. 3. Decide whether the request is an audit or an authorized implementation. Do not turn a cleanup into a product decision without making the behavior change explicit. 4. Identify the relevant boundary before judging code: - `globalThis.ego` is supplied by the closed-source app; `docs/native-bindings-api.md` documents that external contract. - The runtime has direct CLI and embedded SDK startup paths. - Public agent APIs must stay aligned across implementation, tests, `help()`, and `package/ego-browser/skill-body/SKILL.md`. - Browser state can outlive the short Node.js process. ## Find strong candidates Start with production areas carrying the most state, branching, or public surface. Look for: - Exports, helpers, events, options, fallbacks, packages, or state fields with no production consumer. …

How to install
mdr add citrolabs/ego-lite/ego-lite-simplify@sha256:f7f0e0cfb18e3cd9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.e5b613d, 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.
