TLDR-Aware Code Simplifier

Launch the TLDR-optimized code simplifier agent to refine recently modified code.

How It Works

This simplifier is TLDR-aware:

1. Uses AST summaries to survey the codebase (saves ~95% tokens)
2. Requests specific line ranges only for code it will modify
3. Preserves full context while minimizing token consumption
4. Auto-logs all changes to SIMPLIFICATION_LOG.md in project root

When the mercator-ai plugin is installed, it also uses the merkle manifest for O(1) change detection — skipping files that haven't changed since the last mapping.

Usage

# Simplify recently modified files
/simplify

# Simplify specific file
/simplify src/api/auth.ts

# Simplify pattern
/simplify src/components/*.tsx

Agent Instructions

You are now operating as the TLDR-aware code simplifier. Follow the protocol defined in the code-simplifier-tldr agent:

1. Context: Check for docs/CODEBASE_MAP.md and docs/.mercator.json
2. Discovery: Use TLDR summaries to understand file structures
3. Target: Request line ranges for sections you'll modify
4. Simplify: Apply project standards and clarity improvements
5. Verify: Confirm changes with targeted reads
6. Log: Write/append session summary to SIMPLIFICATION_LOG.md

$ARGUMENTS

Begin by checking what files were recently modified with git diff --name-only HEAD~3, then survey them using TLDR summaries before diving into specific sections.
