Use a separate code-simplifier subagent when available.
If the current agent runtime lacks named subagents, use the available generic subagent mechanism and pass the constraints below verbatim.
Detect mode from user wording.
apply: analyze and fixreport: return findings only, no editsDefault: apply.
Use report when user says audit, report, analyze, find issues,
report only, no changes, do not fix, or equivalent.
State detected mode in the first line of the subagent prompt.
The subagent must group findings under these exact headers in this order:
Rules:
file:line citationLow-priority if user excluded nitpicks or styleForward user exclusions verbatim.
If disagreeing with an exclusion, use one closing line:
Disagreed-with exclusions: <one-line note>
Do not smuggle excluded items into findings.
Pass these constraints to the subagent:
apply or reportCLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or equivalent local rules

Search the internet by delegating to another AI CLI when local web tools are unavailable or when a second-opinion search is wanted. Use when the user asks to use Gemini or Claude for web research, asks for AI-backed web search, or wants an external CLI to verify current information with source URLs.
Review current branch changes against a target branch. Use when the user asks to review a branch, review changed files, compare current work to main, origin HEAD, or master, or run a file-by-file code review with aggregated markdown results.
Simplify and reduce tests while preserving coverage. Use when the user asks to simplify, deduplicate, reduce, or clean up test files using techniques such as equivalence class partitioning, decision tables, or pairwise testing.
Fast, MVP-focused grilling session for plans, prototypes, designs, or feature ideas. Use when the user wants to stress-test direction, clarify assumptions, reduce scope, or get challenged without a long decision-tree interview.
Personal Obsidian CLI mechanics and patterns not covered by the base `obsidian-cli` skill. Load when driving the Obsidian CLI for content creation, file operations, vault hygiene, or version history. Triggers on: "search my vault", "find notes about", "show orphan notes", "find broken links", "rename this note", "move this note", "show note history", "restore version", "list backlinks", "show outline", "heredoc obsidian", "obsidian fallback", "vault hygiene".
Durable repo-specific notes: project findings, investigations, decisions, coding lessons, failure analyses, and implementation findings. Distinct from the agent's native memory feature. Triggers: "save to project notes", "project notes", "save this to my notes", "note this for the project", "log this finding", "save project notes", "save this project finding", "log this investigation", "coding lesson", "project decision", "remember this for this repo", "document this bug investigation".
