Can I target specific files or directories?

Absolutely. You can provide a specific file path, a directory, or use the 'recent' keyword to target your most recently modified work.

Can I preview the changes before they are saved?

Yes, you can use the --dry-run flag to see a diff of the proposed changes without applying them to your source files.

Does this skill change the behavior of my code?

No, the Code Simplifier is designed to preserve the existing functionality of your code while purely focusing on improving its structure and readability.

What does the aggressive flag do?

The --aggressive flag allows the AI to perform more significant structural refactoring, such as extracting logic into new functions, rather than just minor syntax cleanup.
