# Simplify
Discoverable wrapper around the `ai-simplify` agent: dispatches the agent via the Agent tool, validates after every change, applies the self-check protocol, and reports the simplifications made. On-demand only — there is no scheduling, no PR-opening side effect, no auto-commit. The complement of `/ai-simplify-sweep` (which IS scheduled, IS repo-wide, and DOES open a draft PR).
## Quick start
```
/ai-simplify # current diff, default aggressiveness
/ai-simplify src/auth/login.py # scoped to a single file
/ai-simplify src/auth/ --conservative # scoped to directory, conservative
/ai-simplify --diff --aggressive # current diff, aggressive defaults
```
## Workflow
Principles applied: §10.1 KISS (the simplified version must actually be simpler — not just different; the self-check protocol enforces it); §10.7 Clean Code (names tell the story, functions do one thing well, cyclomatic complexity ≤8 per the engineering principles).
1. **Step 0** — load stack contexts: read `.ai-engineering/manifest.yml` `providers.stacks` and apply `.ai-engineering/overrides/<stack>/conventions.md` so the stack-specific linter is wired up before any edit.
2. **Detect target** — `$ARGUMENTS` resolves to one of: explicit paths, `--diff` (current staged changes), or empty (current diff is the default).
3. **Dependency preflight** — verify `.agents/agents/ai-simplify.md` is on disk. STOP and report the exact missing path if absent.
4. **Di
