# Simplify — parallel review, sequential apply
Spawns three focused review subagents in parallel, each returning a list of suggested edits. The main agent then applies them sequentially, resolving conflicts deterministically using the Principles below. The skill is **non-interactive**: it never stops to ask the user. When the Principles don't pick a clear winner, the finding is logged as "not applied" rather than surfaced as a question — the user reads the final report and re-engages if they want one of the rejected proposals.
**Why review-then-apply and not apply-in-parallel:** if three subagents Edit the same files concurrently, they race. Late writers either fail loudly (Edit's `old_string` mismatch) or — worse — see "my change is already there" and silently skip, so most findings get dropped. Parallelizing the slow part (analysis) while serializing writes gives both speed and correctness.
If `$ARGUMENTS` contains a focus hint (e.g. "memory efficiency"), pass it through to all three subagents so they weight that dimension.
## Principles every reviewer must follow
These are cross-cutting — they apply to every finding regardless of reviewer category. The main agent passes them into each reviewer's prompt.
1. **Preserve behavior.** Any change to return values, exceptions, edge-case handling, or observable side effects is a *behavior change*, not a simplification. If a refactor alters output for any input — even malformed or "invalid" input the original happened to accep...

simplify
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", or explicitly invokes "/simplify". Reviews the changed code across reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude with parallel agents, then applies the fixes. Not for correctness bugs.
