Simplify
Research-first simplification of any file, skill, tool, subsystem or codebase against its ideal state: reads its ISA or derives its purpose, maps every dependent (callers, imports, references, hooks, settings, docs, tests), classifies each element with evidence as load-bearing, duplicate, dead, cruft or over-abstracted, then proposes and applies cuts that keep every behaviour a dependent relies on, proven by before-and-after parity checks. USE WHEN simplify, simplify this, simplify this system, remove cruft, remove duplication, dedupe, dead code, clean this up, this has gotten bloated, too complicated, reduce complexity, consolidate, strip this down without breaking it, what can we delete. NOT FOR always-on context files (Trim), cleanup of just the current diff (/simplify), harmony across many systems (Unify), auditing prompt rules for over-prompting (BitterLessonEngineering), bug hunting (/code-review).
