simplify-codebase: Prove and remove accidental codebase complexity without breaking behavior

by tt-a1i · Codex Skill · ★ 432

Last updated: · Indexed by AgentSkillsHub · Auto-synced every 8h

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 64/100

None of the 42 rules matched — no credential harvesting, no data exfiltration, no curl-pipe-shell installer. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours.

The quality score combines nine heuristic checks of the repo and its README: completeness, clarity, specificity, examples, structure, agent readiness, step-by-step content, instruction quality and security notes. It rates how well the project explains itself to an agent, not the code.

About simplify-codebase

Simplify Codebase 先证明,再删除。让代码库少维护一些事实、状态与契约。 是一个面向现有代码库的 Agent Skill。它帮助编码智能体识别并安全移除偶然复杂度,同时保护仍然有效的行为、边界与兼容性。 它不追求“删得多”。它关心的是:一次改动能否减少团队今后必须持续保持一致的概念和义务。 为什么需要它 代码库里的冗余很少只是“某个函数没人调用”。它也可能是重复状态、失去所有者的抽象、只剩测试消费的接口、早已无效的兼容路径,或者被保留在共享文件中的半截功能。 静态检查可以提供线索,但不能单独证明一项删除是安全的。这个 Skill 会继续追踪运行时消费者、动态注册、持久化格式、公共接口、历史决策与验证边界,再决定应该删除、合并、保留,还是标记为暂时无法判断。 核心原则: 删除代码行只是结果。真正的收益是删除一个需要长期维护的事实、状态、契约或概念。 工作方式...

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
