FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor code for clarity and maintainability after adding a new feature?▼

To refactor code for clarity and maintainability after feature implementation, trigger a code simplification agent that reviews recently modified files to improve code readability, consistency, and structure.

How does code simplification work with recently modified files?▼

Code simplification works by using Git to determine the scope of recently modified files, then a subagent analyzes and modifies that specific code area to ensure it is clean and well-structured.

Do I need Git to review and refactor specific code scopes?▼

Yes, Git is required to determine the scope for code review and refactoring, allowing the simplification process to target either recently modified files or specific user-defined areas.

What is the best way to improve code readability and consistency automatically?▼

The best way to improve code readability and consistency automatically is to use a code simplification agent that reviews your codebase and refactors the logic for better future maintainability.

Can I target specific user-defined files for code refactoring instead of recent changes?▼

Yes, you can focus code refactoring efforts on specific user-defined scopes, or alternatively let the agent automatically target files recently modified via Git history.

Why should I simplify recently added code before merging?▼

You should simplify recently added code to ensure it adheres to best practices, making future modifications easier and preventing the accumulation of difficult-to-maintain logic.
