Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned 28 Sept 2026

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned getsentry/skills at c2f99a5b04.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The getsentry-code-simplifier skill helps reduce complexity in code by identifying and removing redundant logic, simplifying nested structures, and improving readability without changing functionality. It supports multiple programming languages and can be used to clean up legacy or overly complicated scripts.

When to use it

You're refactoring a large codebase with repetitive patterns
You need to make legacy code more maintainable for new developers
Your team wants to enforce consistent coding standards across projects

Key capabilities

Redundancy detection and removal
Nested structure simplification
Language-agnostic code analysis
Readability improvements while preserving functionality

Example prompts

"Simplify this JavaScript function by removing redundant checks."
"Make this Python script more readable without changing its behavior."
"Refactor the nested if statements in this C# method into a cleaner format."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your code is well-documented before simplification, as some context may be lost during refactoring.
Review simplified output carefully to confirm functionality remains unchanged.
