Simplify recently changed code (or the specified scope) while preserving exact behavior:
1. Read CLAUDE.md and study project conventions
2. Identify the target code — recent changes unless a broader scope is specified
3. Understand the code's purpose, callers, edge cases, and test coverage before touching it
4. Scan for simplification opportunities:
- Deep nesting → guard clauses or extracted helpers
- Long functions → split by responsibility
- Nested ternaries → if/else or switch
- Generic names → descriptive names
- Duplicated logic → shared functions
- Dead code → remove after confirming
5. Apply each simplification incrementally — run tests after each change
6. Verify all tests pass, the build succeeds, and the diff is clean
If tests fail after a simplification, revert that change and reconsider. Use `code-review-and-quality` to review the result.No comments yet. Be the first to comment!
