# Code Simplifier

> Autonomous Claude Code plugin that cleans and simplifies recently edited code.

Code Simplifier is an official Anthropic plugin for Claude Code that refines recently changed code for clarity and maintainability while preserving functionality. It reduces nesting depth, replaces convoluted logic like nested ternaries with cleaner control flow, and aligns code with standards like ES modules and React best practices. It helps prevent messy AI-generated code from entering pull requests.
