Simplify

Invoke as /afk:simplify. Use it after afk:implement lands, or when you want changed code cleaned up, deduplicated, or made DRY without hunting for bugs.

Four cleanup angles run in parallel over the diff; the lead dedupes their findings and applies only the fixes that preserve behavior.

What it does

Simplify reviews the current diff (or a supplied PR, branch, or file path) from four independent cleanup angles, run in parallel by four subagents: reuse (flags new code that reimplements something already in the codebase), simplification (flags redundant state, copy-paste, deep nesting, dead code), efficiency (flags wasted computation, repeated I/O, sequential independent operations, long-lived closures), and altitude (flags fixes that are fragile bandaids instead of generalizations of the underlying mechanism).

• Agents return findings; the lead deduplicates, then applies only fixes that preserve intended behavior.
• Findings whose fix would change behavior, require edits outside the reviewed diff, or are false positives are skipped and noted.
• This is not a correctness review: bugs and out-of-scope changes are explicitly out of scope.
