CD dsh-find-simplifications
Find evidence-backed simplifications in DeepSeek Harness code, APIs, configuration, tests, and prose; write or consolidate proposals, identify small inline cleanups, or assess simplifications from another branch. Use for removing dead, duplicated, speculative, or unnecessarily maintained behavior and infrastructure.
This skill hunts for simplifications in DeepSeek Harness code: dead code, duplicates, unnecessary infrastructure. It claims to spot candidates across code, APIs, configs, tests, and docs.
Two files in the package, but broken references suggest it's incomplete. Never run on models. Content scores 67/100—logic is there, but no real-world examples to verify accuracy. Process score 45 indicates missing validation steps. No critical bugs, but no proof of work either. Safety is fine.
Set it up if you already know DeepSeek Harness well and can hand-verify suggestions. Otherwise you'll spend more time fact-checking than you would writing from scratch.

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
