97 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Simplify code for clarity, reuse, quality, and efficiency while preserving behavior, and prune tests and comments that carry no value. Use after implementation and before review, or to audit tests or comments in any part of a repo; use ce-debug for bugs.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ce-simplify-code' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ce-simplify-code' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ce-simplify-code already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'dd9b7921c9c80498eba84994ff1b8e1e81dbc1db' -- 'skills/ce-simplify-code' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/ce-simplify-code' ~/.agents/skills/'ce-simplify-code' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ce-simplify-code' ~/.claude/skills/'ce-simplify-code' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
