Pi Simplify Code

What it does

Pi Simplify Code follows successful code edits with a focused request for behavior-preserving cleanup.

It combines successful file-changing tool results with dirty Git or Jujutsu paths, filters the candidate list, and asks the model to apply project-specific judgment.

When to reach for it

Invocation: Leave automatic mode enabled, choose confirm-first mode, or run /simplify-code wc for an immediate working-copy pass.

A coding turn has left implementation changes that would benefit from a separate cleanup pass

Let the extension send a follow-up after the current agent turn finishes.

You want to approve each automatic cleanup pass

Set ask mode and review the changed-path confirmation before continuing.

You want to review all current dirty code regardless of automatic mode

Run the manual working-copy command.

What it adds

• An agent-end hook that requests simplification only when eligible non-Markdown paths changed.
• Global and project mode controls for automatic, disabled, and confirm-first behavior.
• A manual working-copy pass that uses the same changed-path collection and filtering pipeline.

How it fits

• Pi Watcher: Pi Watcher starts focused turns from editor comments; Pi Simplify Code starts a cleanup follow-up after code-changing agent work.

Common questions

Does the extension rewrite code by itself?

• No. It sends a follow-up to the model, which still applies repository instructions and decides which behavior-preserving improvements are appropriate.

Which paths can appear in the follow-up?

• The list combines successful write, edit, or compatible patch results with current dirty version-control paths. Git-ignored in-worktree paths are removed when Git can evaluate ignore rules.

It’s working if

• An eligible code-changing turn produces one follow-up after Pi becomes idle.
• Markdown-only changes, pending user messages, disabled mode, and the extension's own follow-up do not start another automatic pass.

Setup notes

• Created and maintained by Vedang Manerikar; installed directly from the original WTFPL-licensed Git project.
• Git or Jujutsu improves working-copy discovery, while confirmed file-changing tool results provide a narrower fallback.
• Behavior claims were reviewed against the installed commit rather than a moving branch.
