latuconsinafr Simplify
Simplify the code in $ARGUMENTS (file or module path).
If no argument — simplify the most recently edited file.
Guiding principle
The best code is code that doesn't exist. The second best is code that's obvious.
Spawn the refactoring agent
The refactoring agent handles the full simplification workflow: test baseline verification, blast radius checks, identifying complexity sources, proposing and applying changes one at a time, and re-running tests after each step.
Spawn it with the following task:
Target: <file or module path from $ARGUMENTS, or most recently edited file>
Goal: simplify — remove unnecessary abstractions, dead code, and over-engineering
without changing behavior
Constraint: behavior must be identical before and after each change
The agent will:
- Verify the test suite is green before starting
- Warn if on
main/masterbranch - Check blast radius for every symbol it considers removing
- Propose changes grouped by risk (safe / needs verification / out of scope)
- Ask for confirmation before applying
- Apply and re-run tests after each change, reverting on failure
After the agent completes
Review the agent's summary:
- All changes made and tests verified
- Any blocked changes (failed tests on attempt) — note these for a separate follow-up
- Deferred items (bugs or features noticed but not touched during refactor)
