Simplify complex code by reducing nesting, eliminating duplication, and improving clarity.
Steps
- Measure the current complexity:
- Count nesting depth (target: max 3 levels).
- Count lines per function (target: max 30 lines).
- Identify duplicated patterns (3+ occurrences).
- Check cyclomatic complexity if tooling available.
- Apply simplification techniques:
- Early returns: Replace nested if/else with guard clauses.
- Extract variables: Name complex expressions for readability.
- Decompose conditionals: Move complex conditions into named functions.
- Replace loops: Use map/filter/reduce where clearer.
- Eliminate duplication: Extract repeated patterns into shared functions.
- Simplify state: Reduce the number of mutable variables.
- For each simplification:
- Show the before and after code.
- Explain why the change improves the code.
- Verify behavior is preserved.
- Run tests after all simplifications.
- Measure the new complexity and compare to the original.
Format
Simplification Report: <file>
Before: <complexity metrics>
After: <complexity metrics>
Changes:
1. <description>: reduced nesting from 5 to 2 levels
2. <description>: extracted 3 duplicated blocks into shared function
3. <description>: replaced nested ternary with lookup table
Tests: all passing
Rules
- Never change behavior while simplifying; this is purely structural.
- Simplify the most complex functions first for maximum impact.
- Preserve meaningful variable names; do not over-abbreviate.
- Run tests after each simplification to catch regressions early.
- Do not simplify code that is intentionally optimized for performance.
