simplify is a skill in fcakyon/claude-codex-settings, last changed 28 Oct 2026. It can run shell commands.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "simplify", "clean up the diff", "run simplify", "simplify the changes", "review changed code for cleanup", explicitly invokes "/simplify", or asks to "commit without simplify", "skip simplify for this commit", or "commit this but skip simplify". Reviews changed code across reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude, or grants an explicit one-commit bypass. Not for correctness bugs.

From the files and frontmatter at commit f44ddce. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit f44ddce · 29 Oct 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit f44ddce on 29 Oct 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.
Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Note
The first sentence of the description is 294 characters. Agents shorten long descriptions, so lead with the main job. D8
Fix: Start with one short sentence that names the job.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Note
Claude CodePasses
Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.
- Note
The first sentence of the description is 294 characters. Agents shorten long descriptions, so lead with the main job. D8
Fix: Start with one short sentence that names the job.
- Note
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
The description is 438 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Note
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Note
The first sentence of the description is 294 characters. Agents shorten long descriptions, so lead with the main job. D8
Fix: Start with one short sentence that names the job.
- Note
- VS Code & CopilotPasses
