find-simplifications

Investigate Cherry Studio code to identify unused behavior, duplicated state, and unnecessary abstractions. Turn a few well-supported findings into cleanup proposals that document current consumers, removal scope, risks, and observable acceptance criteria.

OriginalShow the original description

Use when asked to find or plan Cherry Studio cleanup, simplification, refactoring, dead-code removal, duplicated state removal, unnecessary APIs, speculative generality, or library replacements, especially when the result should become evidence-backed proposed Agent Notes.

See how to install

Good for

  • Finding unused code and unnecessary internal APIs
  • Reviewing duplicated stores, caches, and events
  • Assessing library replacements that reduce maintenance
  • Preparing evidence-backed simplification proposals

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Find Simplifications

This skill finds a few strong candidates, not a deletion quota. Diagnosis and proposal work do not authorize implementation.

Establish context

Read root instructions, relevant architecture/reference docs, and active Agent Notes. Run pnpm change:scope --base <verified-ref> when auditing a branch. When the user requests broad coverage, divide renderer, data systems, IPC, lifecycle services, Agent/runtime, packages/scripts, and test infrastructure into disjoint surveys.

Evidence bar

A strong candidate has concrete cost and production evidence:

  • no legitimate production consumer;
  • tests or docs are the only consumers of a non-load-bearing behavior;
  • two stores, caches, events, or representations mirror one authoritative fact;
  • a generic API exists for one internal consumer;
  • lifecycle/disposal machinery duplicates one owner or transition;
  • a maintained dependency or platform API deletes implementation and dedicated tests with less residual glue;
  • speculative configurability or fallback behavior has no current product owner.

Search exact symbols, wire names, config keys, paths, dynamic registration, tests, docs, and Agent Notes. A call site proves pressure, not that the API belongs at that boundary. Reject a candidate when it removes supported behavior, violates documented ownership, or merely relocates the same complexity.

Output

Small local improvements may be reported inline. A durable removal or redesign becomes one proposed simplification note through the agent-notes workflow, including current consumers, exact removal, strongest counterargument, observable ACs, risks, and verification owners. Do not create a duplicate note for an existing owner.

Report surveyed areas, evidence-backed candidates, rejected candidates worth preserving, deliberate exclusions, and checks actually run.
