Code Simplifier
A guide for simplifying and refining code while preserving functionality.
When to Use
Refactor , simplify code , clean up , code review
After completing a coding task or writing a logical chunk of code
Cleaning up complex PRs before review
Refactoring code for better readability and maintainability
Core Principles
1. Preserve Functionality
Change how the code does it, never what it does. Run the existing tests before and after.
2. Apply Project Standards
Follow the project's configured standards (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .editorconfig, linters) over personal preference.
3. Enhance Clarity
Avoid nested ternary operators; prefer switch or if/else chains
Avoid overly compact one liners; choose clarity over brevity
Remove comments that only restate obvious code
4. Maintain Balance
Avoid over simplification that could:
Reduce code clarity or maintainability
Create overly clever solutions that are hard to understand
Combine too many concerns into single functions
Remove helpful abstractions that improve organization
Make the code harder to debug or extend
5. Focus Scope
Only refine code that has been recently modified or touched, unless explicitly instructed to review a broader scope.
Refactoring Patterns
See [references/refactoring patterns.md](references/refactoring patterns.md) for the pattern table, behavior changing equivalence traps, and review feedback format.
Done Criteria
[ ] All tests pass after refactoring
[ ] No functionality changed
[ ] Code follows project standards
[ ] No nested ternaries, overly compact one liners, or new unnecessary abstractions
[ ] Comments updated where logic changed
