- This skill should be used when the user asks to "simplify code", "clean up code", "refactor for clarity", "reduce complexity", "make code more readable", or mentions wanting cleaner, simpler, or more maintainable code. Provides guidance on using the code-simplifier agent and installing required dependencies.
Code Simplifier
Simplify and refine code for clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving all functionality. This skill leverages the pr-review-toolkit:code-simplifier agent from the official Claude Code plugins.
Prerequisites
This skill requires the pr-review-toolkit plugin from the official Claude plugins repository.
Check if Dependency is Installed
To verify the plugin is installed, run:
claude plugin list --json | jq '.[] | select(.id | contains("pr-review-toolkit"))'
If output is empty, the plugin needs to be installed.
Install the Dependency
Install using the Claude CLI:
# Install to user settings (available in all projects)
claude plugin install pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official
# OR install to project settings (shared with team via git)
claude plugin install pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official --scope project
# OR install to local settings (personal, not committed)
claude plugin install pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official --scope local
Scope guidance:
user- Personal use across all projects (default)project- Team-shared, committed to.claude/settings.jsonlocal- Personal override, not committed
After Installation
Plugins load at session start. If the pr-review-toolkit:code-simplifier agent is not available after installation:
- Note the current session ID (visible in prompt or via
/session) - Exit Claude Code
- Resume the session:
# Resume most recent session
claude --continue
# OR resume specific session by ID (replace $SESSION_ID with your actual session ID)
claude --resume $SESSION_ID
The agent becomes available after restart.
Using the Code Simplifier Agent
Once the dependency is installed and available, delegate to the pr-review-toolkit:code-simplifier agent using the Task tool:
Task tool with subagent_type: "pr-review-toolkit:code-simplifier"
What the Agent Does
The code-simplifier agent:
- Simplifies and refines code for clarity
- Ensures consistency and maintainability
- Preserves all existing functionality
- Focuses on recently modified code unless instructed otherwise
When to Use
Invoke the code-simplifier agent:
- After completing a feature implementation
- Before creating a pull request
- When code feels overly complex
- During refactoring efforts
- When reviewing unfamiliar code that seems convoluted
Example Invocations
Simplify recent changes:
Use the pr-review-toolkit:code-simplifier agent to review and simplify the code I just wrote.
Target specific files:
Use the code-simplifier agent to clean up src/utils/parser.ts - it's gotten too complex.
Broader refactoring:
Launch the code-simplifier agent to review the authentication module for opportunities to reduce complexity.
Troubleshooting
Agent Not Available
If the agent is not available after installation:
-
Verify installation succeeded:
claude plugin list --json | jq '.[] | select(.id | contains("pr-review-toolkit"))' -
Check if enabled:
claude plugin list --json | jq '.[] | select(.id | contains("pr-review-toolkit")) | {id, enabled}' -
If disabled, enable it:
claude plugin enable pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official -
Restart Claude Code session (plugins load at session start)
Wrong Marketplace
The plugin is in claude-plugins-official, not claude-code-plugins. Use the correct identifier:
- ✅
pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official - ❌
pr-review-toolkit@claude-code-plugins
Session Resumption
To continue work after restarting:
# Continue most recent session in current directory
claude --continue
# Resume specific session (replace $SESSION_ID with your actual session ID)
claude --resume $SESSION_ID
# Fork session (new ID, preserves context)
claude --resume $SESSION_ID --fork-session

Manually reproduce what the github-app plugin's SessionStart hook does to make a GitHub App installation token usable in the current session — materialize the PEM, generate the token, isolate GH_CONFIG_DIR, write the runtime env file, and wire CLAUDE_ENV_FILE so every Bash call sees GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN. Use when the hook did not run, the token is missing from the environment, or a shell/teammate needs the token wired up by hand. <example>GH_TOKEN isn't set even though github-app is configured</example> <example>the github-app SessionStart hook didn't run, set up the token manually</example> <example>wire the github app token into CLAUDE_ENV_FILE</example> <example>gh keeps falling back to the wrong account, isolate GH_CONFIG_DIR</example>

Manually configure the GitHub App bot git identity the way the github-app plugin's SessionStart hook does — resolve the app slug and bot user ID, build the <slug>[bot] name and noreply email, set GIT_AUTHOR_*/GIT_COMMITTER_* env vars, and write an isolated GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL with the gh auth git-credential helper. Use when commits are attributed to the wrong account, "Author identity unknown" appears, or git identity must be set up by hand. <example>my commits are showing up as the handler, not the bot</example> <example>git says Author identity unknown after the github-app hook ran</example> <example>configure the github app bot git identity manually</example> <example>set up the gh credential helper for git push</example>
