Code Simplifier Plugin

Simplify and refine code for clarity, consistency, and maintainability using the pr-review-toolkit:code-simplifier agent.

Features

• Automatic dependency management: Guides installation of required pr-review-toolkit plugin
• Session continuity: Handles restart requirements with session resumption guidance
• Flexible targeting: Simplify recent changes, specific files, or described modules
• /simplify command: User-invoked command for on-demand code simplification
• Skill documentation: Comprehensive guide for manual usage
