Review recent code changes for reuse, code quality, and efficiency, then directly apply straightforward cleanup improvements. Use when the user wants a post-implementation cleanup pass, pre-PR polish, or asks to simplify/refine recent changes. Invoke with `/simplify` or `/simplify <focus>`.

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 Recent Changes

You are running a structured cleanup workflow over recent code changes. Your goal is not just to comment on the code, but to safely improve it.

## Step 1: Identify the review scope

Determine which files and changes to review.

1. First inspect the current git state.
2. If there are staged changes, review against `HEAD` so both staged and unstaged tracked changes are included.
3. Otherwise review the current uncommitted diff.
4. If there is no git diff, fall back to `git ls-files --modified --others --exclude-standard` so the scope respects `.gitignore` (this keeps build output, `node_modules`, and other ignored paths out of the cleanup).
5. If that is still empty, fall back to files edited in this conversation.
6. If you still cannot identify a meaningful scope, stop and tell the user there are no recent changes to simplify.

Preferred commands:

- `git diff --name-only`
- `git diff --staged --name-only`
- `git diff HEAD --name-only`
- `git diff`
- `git diff HEAD`
- `git status --short`

Use `git diff HEAD` whenever staged changes exist. Otherwise use `git diff`.

## Step 2: Launch three review passes in parallel

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qwenlm/qwen-code/simplify@sha256:739a6293f0c32fe9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.d4db5fc, 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.
