Comprehensive code simplification guide for AI agents and LLMs. Contains 47 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact from critical (context discovery, behavior preservation) to incremental (language idioms). Each rule includes detailed explanations, real-world examples comparing incorrect vs. correct implementations, and specific impact metrics.
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example: Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example: Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example: Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example: Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioncode-simplifierExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
epx add pproenca/dot-skills --skill code-simplifierFetches code-simplifier from pproenca/dot-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/code-simplifier
Restart Cursor to activate code-simplifier. Access via /code-simplifierin your agent's command palette.

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

We added code-simplifier from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
code-simplifier has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
I recommend code-simplifier for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: code-simplifier is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
