# Skill Simplify

Trim a bloated SKILL.md without losing what it could do

## What this does

You wrote a skill file and it grew long and repetitive. This goes through it, points out what repeats, tightens the wording, and then checks that the skill still does everything it did before. Reach for it when you want a shorter file but you are worried about breaking something.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Cut the repetition out of a skill file
- Check nothing stopped working after the trim
- Find where a skill says the same thing twice

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Skill Simplify

This looks at a SKILL.md file and works on two things at once: making it smaller, and making sure smaller did not mean weaker. It analyzes where content is redundant and optimizes what is there.

The second half is the verification. After the content changes, it checks that no functionality was lost, so the trim is something you can look at rather than something you have to take on faith.

It comes in when you ask to simplify or optimize a skill.

## Questions

### Is Skill Simplify safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Skill Simplify and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 5ff5e86257b7, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/skill-simplify.

### How do I install Skill Simplify?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/skill-simplify on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/catlog22/claude-code-workflow/tree/5ff5e86257b7e55aec93663930e21ff274f4c023/.claude/skills/skill-simplify. Install from that link, not the branch.
