Will Nav-Simplify change how my code works?

No. The core principle of the skill is functionality preservation. It only changes how the code is structured and written to improve clarity, never its underlying behavior.

Does it run automatically on every change?

It can be configured to auto-invoke after specific implementation skills complete, or it can be triggered manually by asking Claude to 'simplify this code'.

How does the skill know my project's specific coding standards?

The skill reads your CLAUDE.md file to extract project-specific rules regarding naming conventions, import ordering, and preferred architectural patterns.

Which programming languages are supported?

The skill supports most major languages including TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust, using Git to identify relevant files.

Developer Tools

Refines and simplifies recently modified code to improve readability and maintainability without changing functionality.

The Navigator Code Simplifier (nav-simplify) is a specialized skill for Claude Code designed to polish implementation after code changes are made. By analyzing recently edited files via Git, it identifies complex nesting, confusing naming, and redundant patterns, then applies project-specific standards from CLAUDE.md to ensure consistency. It utilizes Anthropic's internal code-simplification principles to prioritize clarity over brevity, making it an essential tool for maintaining high-quality codebases during long, complex development sessions.

Key Features

01Detailed change reporting with complexity scores and category breakdowns

02Enforcement of project-specific coding standards from CLAUDE.md

03Logic-preserving refactoring for naming and pattern consistency
