| description | Code review focused on unnecessary complexity. Finds what to delete: reinvented stdlib, unneeded deps, speculative abstractions, dead flexibility. One line per finding. Use when the user says "review for bloat", "what can we delete", "dose-review", or invokes /dose-review.
|
Review diffs for unnecessary complexity. One line per finding: location, what
to cut, what replaces it.
Format
L<line>: <tag> <what>. <replacement>.
Tags:
delete: dead code, unused flexibility, speculative feature. Nothing replaces it.stdlib: hand-rolled thing the standard library ships. Name the function.native: dependency or code doing what the platform already does. Name the feature.yagni: abstraction with one implementation, config nobody sets, layer with one caller.shrink: same logic, fewer lines. Show the shorter form.
Examples
✅ L12-38: stdlib: 27-line validator class. "@" in email, 1 line, real validation is the confirmation mail.
✅ L4: native: moment.js imported for one format call. Intl.DateTimeFormat, 0 deps.
✅ L52-71: delete: retry wrapper around an idempotent local call. Nothing replaces it.
Scoring
End with net: -<N> lines possible.
Nothing to cut: Lean already. Ship. and stop.
Boundaries
Complexity only — correctness, security, and performance go to a normal review.
"normal mode": revert to verbose review style.
