This skill provides technical leads and architects with a framework for conducting simplification audits. It focuses on identifying candidates for removal, such as dead code and duplicate state, to reduce the cognitive load of a system.
By prioritizing evidence-backed deletion over general refactoring, the tool helps teams consolidate redundant APIs and obsolete design records without introducing style-only changes.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.
