agentskillexchange Simplify recently changed code and open low-risk refactor pull requests
This entry turns GitHub Next's Code Simplifier workflow into a narrow cleanup agent. The agent inspects code changed in the last day, proposes behavior-preserving simplifications, runs validation, and opens small refactor pull requests instead of attempting broad rewrites.
Prerequisites
GitHub CLI, the gh-aw extension, and repository CI or tests for validation
Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- Make software maintenance enjoyable! From basic issue triage to Repo Assist - a powerful triage multi-task backlog burner, issue labeller, bug fixer and general repository assistant. Other workflows help gate your rep...
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
💰 Cost Tracker - Post per-run agent spend summaries on pull requests using token-usage.jsonl from gh-aw's firewall
📝 Markdown Linter - Run Markdown quality checks on all documentation files and get a prioritized issue report of violations
Reporting - Guidelines for reporting workflow run information with clickable run ID links
