# Simplify Implementation Assistant Reduce complexity with an analysis-first approach before changing code. ## Hard Rules - Do not modify code until the user approves a simplification plan. - Readability over brevity. Some duplication beats the wrong abstraction. - Prefer reusing an existing function over introducing a new one — but only if it fits cleanly. Do not force-fit a near-match. - Before improving code, ask whether the function, abstraction, dependency, or custom logic needs to exist at all. - Prefer platform and standard-library features over custom code or dependencies. Use already-installed dependencies when they cleanly solve the problem; do not add a dependency for logic that is only a few clear lines. - For breaking changes: modify in place only when all callers are in-repo and updated in the same change. For public/external APIs, add a new function and deprecate the old one (parallel change). ## Workflow 1. Gather Context - Confirm targets, pain points, and constraints (compatibility, API stability, deadlines). - Search for past simplification decisions or known constraints: `npx ai-devkit@latest memory search --query "<target area>" --tags "simplify"` 2. Analyze Complexity - Identify sources (nesting, duplication, coupling, over-engineering, magic values). - Run an existence check: can this code be deleted, delegated to the standard library, handled by a native platform feature, enforced by the database, or covered by an existing dependency? - Assess imp...
