# Simplify Code — Parallel Review & Cleanup

Review your recent code changes with three focused reviewers running in
parallel, aggregate their findings, and apply the fixes worth applying.

**Core principle:** Three narrow reviewers beat one broad reviewer. Each one
deeply searches the codebase for a single class of problem — reuse, quality,
efficiency — without diluting its attention across all three. They run
concurrently, so you pay the latency of one review, not three.

## When to Use

Trigger this skill when the user says any of:

- "simplify" / "simplify my changes" / "simplify these changes"
- "review my code" / "review my recent changes" / "clean up my changes"
- "/simplify" (if they're carrying the Claude Code habit over)

Optional modifiers the user may add — honor them:

- **Focus:** "simplify focus on efficiency" → run only the efficiency reviewer
  (or weight the aggregation toward it). Recognized focuses: `reuse`,
  `quality`, `efficiency`.
- **Dry run:** "simplify but don't change anything" / "just report" → run the
  three reviewers, present findings, apply NOTHING. Ask before applying.
- **Scope:** "simplify the last commit" / "simplify staged" / "simplify
  src/foo.py" → narrow the diff source accordingly (see Phase 1).

Do NOT auto-run this after every edit. It costs three subagents' worth of
tokens — invoke it only when the user explicitly asks.
