# Review and Simplify Changes ## When to Use Use this skill when you need review a git diff or explicit file scope for reuse, code quality, efficiency, clarity, and standards issues, then optionally apply safe Codex-driven fixes. Use when the user asks to "simplify code", "review changed code", "check for code reuse", "review code quality", "review... Review changed code for reuse, quality, efficiency, and clarity issues. Use Codex sub-agents to review in parallel, but keep those sub-agents read-only: they should only inspect code and send findings back to the main agent. Only the main agent may apply high-confidence, behavior-preserving fixes. ## Modes Choose the mode from the user's request: - `review-only`: user asks to review, audit, or check the changes - `safe-fixes`: user asks to simplify, clean up, or refactor the changes - `fix-and-validate`: same as `safe-fixes`, but also run the smallest relevant validation after edits If the user does not specify, default to: - `review-only` for "review", "audit", or "check" - `safe-fixes` for "simplify", "clean up", or "refactor" ## Step 1: Determine the Scope and Diff Command Prefer this scope order: 1.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill review-and-simplify-changes --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
