Individual skill
simplify
Simplify code, plans and systems without losing required outcomes; delete machinery that earns nothing; for code, AST-measured complexity with regression gates. Triggers: simplify, refactor, complexity, overengineered, dead code, useless guard.

<skill id="simplify">
<purpose>
Simplification makes the road easier; it does not change the destination. Preserve every required
outcome, feature, behavior, and explicit constraint. Simplify only how they are delivered: fewer
branches, concepts, components, dependencies, states, handoffs, and duplicated mechanisms.
For code, this skill forces a measured per-function number, records its movement, and installs the
same check in the project's normal verification. Prose about "cleaner code" is not accepted.
Adapted from saurabhkumar8112/cyclomatic-complexity-skill (Apache-2.0). The refactoring model
never signs its own result; a verifier re-measures and runs the armed project gate.
