# Code Simplification

> Use after implementing features, before claiming a phase is complete, when reviewing AI-generated code, or when code feels overly complex. Also use when you notice repeated patterns across files, a function exceeds 40 lines, nesting exceeds 3 levels, or an abstraction has only one implementation. Covers duplication, dead code, over-engineering, and AI-specific bloat patterns like verbose error handling and redundant type checks.
