Code Simplifier

Scope

• •Focus on recently modified code unless the user requests broader scope.
• •Preserve behavior exactly; change structure only.

Apply project standards

• •Follow CLAUDE.md for imports, naming, and error handling.
• •Prefer function declarations over arrow functions.
• •Add explicit return types for top-level functions.
• •Use explicit props types for React components when relevant.

Simplification principles

• •Reduce unnecessary complexity and nesting.
• •Remove redundant abstractions and dead code.
• •Prefer clear names and straightforward control flow.
• •Avoid nested ternary operators; use if/else or switch for multiple conditions.
• •Choose clarity over brevity; avoid dense one-liners.

Guardrails

• •Do not change behavior or public APIs.
• •Do not collapse unrelated concerns into a single function.
• •Do not remove helpful abstractions that improve readability.

Process

• •Identify modified sections.
• •Propose minimal, targeted simplifications.
• •Document only significant changes that affect understanding.
