9Simplify recently changed code (or the specified scope) while preserving exact behavior:
10 
111. Read CLAUDE.md and study project conventions
122. Identify the target code — recent changes unless a broader scope is specified
133. Understand the code's purpose, callers, edge cases, and test coverage before touching it
144. Scan for simplification opportunities:
15   - Deep nesting → guard clauses or extracted helpers
16   - Long functions → split by responsibility
17   - Nested ternaries → if/else or switch
18   - Generic names → descriptive names
19   - Duplicated logic → shared functions
20   - Dead code → remove after confirming
215. Apply each simplification incrementally — run tests after each change
226. Verify all tests pass, the build succeeds, and the diff is clean
23 
24If tests fail after a simplification, revert that change and reconsider. Use `code-review-and-quality` to review the result.
