+# KISS Simplifier Agent
+
+## Purpose
+
+The KISS Simplifier Agent is a specialized subagent designed to analyze codebases for over-engineering, unnecessary complexity, and violations of the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle. It identifies opportunities for simplification and generates concrete refactoring proposals in isolated git worktrees.
+
+## Target Audience
+
+This agent is invoked by Claude Code via the `/kiss` slash command to perform deep code analysis and propose simplifications without modifying the main working tree.
+
+## Core Responsibilities
+
+1. **Analyze code for over-engineering** using multiple static analysis tools
+2. **Identify KISS principle violations** based on project-specific guidelines
+3. **Create isolated git worktree** for proposed changes
+4. **Apply concrete simplifications** in the worktree
+5. **Generate structured reports** with metrics and recommendations
+6. **Report findings back to Claude Code** for human review
+
+## Agent Capabilities
+
+### Static Analysis Tools
+
+The agent leverages industry-standard tools for comprehensive analysis:
+
+#### 1. Dead Code Detection (knip)
+
+**Purpose:** Identify unused code that can be safely removed
+
+**Detects:**
+
+- Unused exports (functions, types, classes, interfaces)
+- Unused files and modules
+- Unused dependencies and devDependencies
+- Mutually recursive dead code
+- Unused class members and enum members
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```json
+// knip.json
+{
+  "entry": ["src/main.ts", "src/cli.ts"],
+  "project": ["src/**/*.ts"],
+  "ignore": ["src/**/*.test.ts", "**/*.d.ts"],
+  "ignoreDependencies": ["@types/*"]
+}
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+knip --reporter json > .reports/dead-code.json
+```
+
+#### 2. Complexity Analysis (FTA - Fast TypeScript Analyzer)
+
+**Purpose:** Measure code complexity and maintainability
+
+**Metrics:**
+
+- Cyclomatic complexity (number of decision paths)
+- Halstead metrics (difficulty, effort, predicted bugs)
+- FTA score (overall maintainability, 0-100)
+- Line count analysis
+
+**Thresholds:**
+
+- Cyclomatic complexity: >15 (flag as complex)
+- FTA score: <60 (flag as needs improvement)
+- Function length: >50 lines (flag as too long)
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+fta src/**/*.ts --json > .reports/complexity.json
+```
+
+#### 3. Code Smell Detection (eslint-plugin-sonarjs)
+
+**Purpose:** Detect code smells and anti-patterns
+
+**Rules:**
+
+- `cognitive-complexity`: Mental effort to understand code
+- `no-duplicate-string`: Magic strings (DRY violation)
+- `no-identical-functions`: Copy-pasted code
+- `no-collapsible-if`: Unnecessary nesting
+- `no-inverted-boolean-check`: Confusing boolean logic
+- `prefer-immediate-return`: Unnecessary variables
+- `no-small-switch`: Switch that should be if/else
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+eslint src --ext .ts --format json > .reports/code-smells.json
+```
+
+#### 4. Architecture Analysis (dependency-cruiser)
+
+**Purpose:** Detect architectural violations
+
+**Detects:**
+
+- Circular dependencies
+- Layer violations (e.g., UI importing from database layer)
+- Orphaned modules (isolated files)
+- Improper coupling
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```javascript
+// .dependency-cruiser.js
+module.exports = {
+  forbidden: [
+    {
+      name: "no-circular",
+      severity: "error",
+      from: {},
+      to: { circular: true },
+    },
+    {
+      name: "no-orphans",
+      severity: "warn",
+      from: { orphan: true },
+      to: {},
+    },
+  ],
+};
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+depcruise --validate .dependency-cruiser.js src
+```
+
+### AI-Pattern Detection (Heuristic)
+
+The agent uses custom heuristics to detect AI-generated over-engineering:
+
+**Indicators:**
+
+1. **Verbose naming** - Identifiers >30 characters with >4 words
+2. **Generic comments** - Comments like "Process data", "Execute action"
+3. **Perfect formatting consistency** - No human inconsistencies
+4. **Repetitive patterns** - Copy-paste code with only parameter names changed
+5. **Unnecessary abstraction** - Low complexity but high line count
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+```typescript
+interface AIPatternScore {
+  file: string;
+  score: number; // 0-100, higher = more likely AI-generated
+  indicators: string[];
+}
+
+function detectAIPatterns(filePath: string): AIPatternScore {
+  const ast = parseTypeScript(filePath);
+  let score = 0;
+  const indicators: string[] = [];
+
+  // Verbose naming
+  const avgNameLength = calculateAvgNameLength(ast);
+  if (avgNameLength > 25) {
+    score += 20;
+    indicators.push("Verbose naming patterns");
+  }
+
+  // Generic comments
+  const genericCommentRatio = analyzeComments(ast);
+  if (genericCommentRatio > 0.5) {
+    score += 15;
+    indicators.push("Generic comments");
+  }
+
+  // Repetitive code
+  const repetitivePatterns = detectRepetitiveCode(ast);
+  if (repetitivePatterns.length > 3) {
+    score += 20;
+    indicators.push(`${repetitivePatterns.length} repetitive patterns`);
+  }
+
+  // Over-abstraction
+  const complexity = calculateComplexity(ast);
+  const lineCount = countLines(filePath);
+  if (complexity < 5 && lineCount > 100) {
+    score += 15;
+    indicators.push("Over-abstraction (low complexity, high LOC)");
+  }
+
+  return { file: filePath, score, indicators };
+}
+```
+
+### Legacy Pattern Detection
+
+**Detects outdated patterns:**
+
+- `var` usage (should be `const`/`let`)
+- Callback hell (nested callbacks >3 levels)
+- God objects (files >500 LOC or >30 methods)
+- No error handling (missing try-catch in async code)
+- Promises without await (should use async/await)
+
+## Operational Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Environment Setup
+
+**1.1 Read KISS Principles**
+
+```bash
+# Load project-specific KISS principles
+if [ ! -f detecting-overengineered-code.local.md ]; then
+  ERROR: "KISS principles file not found"
+  EXIT: 1
+fi
+
+PRINCIPLES=$(cat detecting-overengineered-code.local.md)
+```
+
+**1.2 Install Analysis Tools**
+
+```bash
+# Check for required tools
+MISSING_TOOLS=()
+
+command -v knip >/dev/null || MISSING_TOOLS+=("knip")
+command -v fta >/dev/null || MISSING_TOOLS+=("fta-cli")
+command -v depcruise >/dev/null || MISSING_TOOLS+=("dependency-cruiser")
+command -v eslint >/dev/null || MISSING_TOOLS+=("eslint")
+
+if [ ${#MISSING_TOOLS[@]} -gt 0 ]; then
+  echo "Installing missing tools: ${MISSING_TOOLS[*]}"
+  bun add -D "${MISSING_TOOLS[@]}"
+fi
+```
+
+**1.3 Create Reports Directory**
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .reports
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Static Analysis Execution
+
+**2.1 Run All Analysis Tools in Parallel**
+
+```bash
+# Run tools in parallel for speed
+{
+  knip --reporter json > .reports/dead-code.json 2>&1 &
+  PID_KNIP=$!
+
+  fta src/**/*.ts --json > .reports/complexity.json 2>&1 &
+  PID_FTA=$!
+
+  eslint src --ext .ts,.tsx,.js,.jsx --format json > .reports/code-smells.json 2>&1 &
+  PID_ESLINT=$!
+
+  depcruise --validate .dependency-cruiser.js src --output-type json > .reports/architecture.json 2>&1 &
+  PID_DEPCRUISE=$!
+
+  # Wait for all to complete
+  wait $PID_KNIP $PID_FTA $PID_ESLINT $PID_DEPCRUISE
+}
+```
+
+**2.2 Parse Analysis Results**
+
+```typescript
+interface AnalysisResults {
+  deadCode: {
+    unusedExports: string[];
+    unusedFiles: string[];
+    unusedDependencies: string[];
+  };
+  complexity: {
+    file: string;
+    cyclomatic: number;
+    ftaScore: number;
+    assessment: string;
+  }[];
+  codeSmells: {
+    file: string;
+    rule: string;
+    severity: string;
+    message: string;
+    line: number;
+  }[];
+  architecture: {
+    type: string; // "circular" | "orphan" | "layer-violation"
+    from: string;
+    to: string;
+    severity: string;
+  }[];
+}
+
+function parseAnalysisResults(): AnalysisResults {
+  const deadCode = JSON.parse(readFileSync(".reports/dead-code.json"));
+  const complexity = JSON.parse(readFileSync(".reports/complexity.json"));
+  const codeSmells = JSON.parse(readFileSync(".reports/code-smells.json"));
+  const architecture = JSON.parse(readFileSync(".reports/architecture.json"));
+
+  return {
+    deadCode: {
+      unusedExports: deadCode.exports || [],
+      unusedFiles: deadCode.files || [],
+      unusedDependencies: deadCode.dependencies || [],
+    },
+    complexity: complexity.filter((f) => f.fta_score < 60 || f.cyclo > 15),
+    codeSmells: flattenESLintResults(codeSmells),
+    architecture: architecture.violations || [],
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**2.3 Run AI Pattern Detection**
+
+```typescript
+function analyzeAIPatterns(scope: string[]): AIPatternScore[] {
+  return scope.map(detectAIPatterns).filter((result) => result.score > 60);
+}
+```
+
+**2.4 Run Legacy Pattern Detection**
+
+```bash
+# Detect 'var' usage
+grep -rn "var " src --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" > .reports/legacy-var.txt
+
+# Detect god objects (files >500 LOC)
+fta src/**/*.ts --json | jq '.[] | select(.line_count > 500)' > .reports/god-objects.json
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Issue Categorization and Prioritization
+
+**3.1 Categorize Issues**
+
+```typescript
+type IssueCategory =
+  | "dead-code"
+  | "complexity"
+  | "code-smell"
+  | "architecture"
+  | "ai-pattern"
+  | "legacy";
+
+type IssueSeverity = "critical" | "high" | "medium" | "low";
+
+interface Issue {
+  id: string;
+  category: IssueCategory;
+  severity: IssueSeverity;
+  file: string;
+  line?: number;
+  title: string;
+  description: string;
+  currentCode: string;
+  proposedCode?: string;
+  metrics?: {
+    before: number;
+    after: number;
+    improvement: string;
+  };
+}
+
+function categorizeIssues(results: AnalysisResults): Issue[] {
+  const issues: Issue[] = [];
+
+  // Dead code issues
+  results.deadCode.unusedExports.forEach((exp, idx) => {
+    issues.push({
+      id: `dead-${idx}`,
+      category: "dead-code",
+      severity: "high",
+      file: exp.file,
+      line: exp.line,
+      title: `Unused export: ${exp.name}`,
+      description: "This export is not used anywhere and can be safely removed.",
+      currentCode: exp.code,
+    });
+  });
+
+  // Complexity issues
+  results.complexity.forEach((comp, idx) => {
+    const severity: IssueSeverity =
+      comp.ftaScore < 40
+        ? "critical"
+        : comp.ftaScore < 60
+          ? "high"
+          : comp.cyclo > 20
+            ? "high"
+            : "medium";
+
+    issues.push({
+      id: `complex-${idx}`,
+      category: "complexity",
+      severity,
+      file: comp.file,
+      title: `High complexity in ${comp.file}`,
+      description: `FTA score: ${comp.ftaScore}, Cyclomatic: ${comp.cyclomatic}. Consider refactoring.`,
+      currentCode: readFunction(comp.file, comp.line),
+    });
+  });
+
+  // Architecture issues
+  results.architecture.forEach((arch, idx) => {
+    issues.push({
+      id: `arch-${idx}`,
+      category: "architecture",
+      severity: arch.type === "circular" ? "critical" : "high",
+      file: arch.from,
+      title: `${arch.type}: ${arch.from} → ${arch.to}`,
+      description: arch.message,
+      currentCode: arch.code,
+    });
+  });
+
+  return issues;
+}
+```
+
+**3.2 Prioritize Issues**
+
+```typescript
+function prioritizeIssues(issues: Issue[]): Issue[] {
+  // Sort by severity, then by impact
+  return issues.sort((a, b) => {
+    const severityOrder = { critical: 0, high: 1, medium: 2, low: 3 };
+    const severityDiff = severityOrder[a.severity] - severityOrder[b.severity];
+
+    if (severityDiff !== 0) return severityDiff;
+
+    // Within same severity, prioritize by category impact
+    const categoryOrder = {
+      architecture: 0, // Most impactful
+      complexity: 1,
+      "code-smell": 2,
+      "ai-pattern": 3,
+      "dead-code": 4,
+      legacy: 5,
+    };
+
+    return categoryOrder[a.category] - categoryOrder[b.category];
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Worktree Creation and Simplification
+
+**4.1 Create Git Worktree**
+
+```bash
+# Generate timestamp for unique worktree name
+TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
+WORKTREE_PATH=".worktree/kiss-${TIMESTAMP}"
+
+# Create worktree from current HEAD
+git worktree add "$WORKTREE_PATH" HEAD
+
+if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+  ERROR: "Failed to create git worktree"
+  EXIT: 3
+fi
+
+echo "Created worktree: $WORKTREE_PATH"
+```
+
+**4.2 Apply Simplifications in Worktree**
+
+```typescript
+function applySimplifications(issues: Issue[], worktreePath: string): void {
+  // Change to worktree directory
+  process.chdir(worktreePath);
+
+  for (const issue of issues) {
+    try {
+      switch (issue.category) {
+        case "dead-code":
+          removeDeadCode(issue);
+          break;
+
+        case "complexity":
+          simplifyComplexFunction(issue);
+          break;
+
+        case "code-smell":
+          fixCodeSmell(issue);
+          break;
+
+        case "architecture":
+          refactorArchitecture(issue);
+          break;
+
+        case "ai-pattern":
+          simplifyAIPattern(issue);
+          break;
+
+        case "legacy":
+          modernizeLegacyCode(issue);
+          break;
+      }
+
+      issue.status = "applied";
+    } catch (error) {
+      issue.status = "failed";
+      issue.error = error.message;
+    }
+  }
+
+  // Return to original directory
+  process.chdir("../..");
+}
+```
+
+**4.3 Simplification Strategies**
+
+**Dead Code Removal:**
+
+```typescript
+function removeDeadCode(issue: Issue): void {
+  const filePath = issue.file;
+  const code = readFileSync(filePath, "utf-8");
+  const ast = parseTypeScript(code);
+
+  // Remove unused export
+  const newAst = removeNode(ast, issue.line);
+  const newCode = generateCode(newAst);
+
+  writeFileSync(filePath, newCode);
+}
+```
+
+**Complexity Reduction:**
+
+```typescript
+function simplifyComplexFunction(issue: Issue): void {
+  // Extract nested logic into separate functions
+  // Replace nested if/else with early returns
+  // Use guard clauses to reduce nesting
+  // Extract magic numbers to constants
+
+  const simplified = refactorFunction(issue.currentCode, {
+    maxNesting: 2,
+    maxCyclomaticComplexity: 10,
+    extractMagicNumbers: true,
+    useEarlyReturns: true,
+  });
+
+  replaceInFile(issue.file, issue.currentCode, simplified);
+}
+```
+
+**Code Smell Fixes:**
+
+```typescript
+function fixCodeSmell(issue: Issue): void {
+  switch (issue.rule) {
+    case "no-duplicate-string":
+      extractToConstant(issue);
+      break;
+
+    case "no-identical-functions":
+      extractToSharedFunction(issue);
+      break;
+
+    case "no-collapsible-if":
+      mergeNestedIfs(issue);
+      break;
+
+    case "cognitive-complexity":
+      simplifyLogic(issue);
+      break;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Architecture Refactoring:**
+
+```typescript
+function refactorArchitecture(issue: Issue): void {
+  if (issue.type === "circular") {
+    // Break circular dependency by:
+    // 1. Extract common interface to shared module
+    // 2. Use dependency injection
+    // 3. Introduce mediator pattern
+    breakCircularDependency(issue);
+  } else if (issue.type === "layer-violation") {
+    // Fix layer violation by:
+    // 1. Move code to appropriate layer
+    // 2. Use proper abstraction
+    fixLayerViolation(issue);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**AI Pattern Simplification:**
+
+```typescript
+function simplifyAIPattern(issue: Issue): void {
+  // Shorten verbose names
+  if (issue.indicator === "verbose-naming") {
+    const newName = suggestShorterName(issue.name);
+    renameIdentifier(issue.file, issue.name, newName);
+  }
+
+  // Improve generic comments
+  if (issue.indicator === "generic-comments") {
+    removeOrImproveComment(issue.file, issue.line);
+  }
+
+  // Extract repetitive code
+  if (issue.indicator === "repetitive-patterns") {
+    extractToReusableFunction(issue.file, issue.patterns);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Legacy Modernization:**
+
+```typescript
+function modernizeLegacyCode(issue: Issue): void {
+  // var → const/let
+  if (issue.pattern === "var-usage") {
+    replaceVarWithConstLet(issue.file);
+  }
+
+  // Callbacks → async/await
+  if (issue.pattern === "callback-hell") {
+    convertToAsyncAwait(issue.file, issue.line);
+  }
+
+  // Split god objects
+  if (issue.pattern === "god-object") {
+    splitIntoModules(issue.file);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**4.4 Validate Changes**
+
+```bash
+# Ensure TypeScript compiles
+cd "$WORKTREE_PATH"
+tsc --noEmit
+
+if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+  echo "⚠️  TypeScript errors detected in worktree. Some simplifications may need review."
+fi
+
+# Run tests to ensure functionality preserved
+bun test
+
+if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+  echo "⚠️  Test failures detected. Functionality may have changed."
+fi
+
+cd ../..
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Generate Report
+
+**5.1 Calculate Metrics**
+
+```typescript
+interface Metrics {
+  issuesFound: number;
+  issuesBySeverity: Record<IssueSeverity, number>;
+  issuesByCategory: Record<IssueCategory, number>;
+  filesModified: number;
+  linesAdded: number;
+  linesRemoved: number;
+  netChange: number;
+  complexityReduction: {
+    before: number;
+    after: number;
+    improvement: string;
+  };
+}
+
+function calculateMetrics(issues: Issue[], worktreePath: string): Metrics {
+  // Count issues by severity and category
+  const issuesBySeverity = countBy(issues, "severity");
+  const issuesByCategory = countBy(issues, "category");
+
+  // Get diff stats from worktree
+  const diffStats = execSync(`git -C ${worktreePath} diff --shortstat HEAD`, { encoding: "utf-8" });
+
+  const [filesChanged, insertions, deletions] = parseDiffStats(diffStats);
+
+  // Calculate complexity improvement
+  const complexityBefore = issues
+    .filter((i) => i.category === "complexity")
+    .reduce((sum, i) => sum + (i.metrics?.before || 0), 0);
+
+  const complexityAfter = issues
+    .filter((i) => i.category === "complexity")
+    .reduce((sum, i) => sum + (i.metrics?.after || 0), 0);
+
+  return {
+    issuesFound: issues.length,
+    issuesBySeverity,
+    issuesByCategory,
+    filesModified: filesChanged,
+    linesAdded: insertions,
+    linesRemoved: deletions,
+    netChange: insertions - deletions,
+    complexityReduction: {
+      before: complexityBefore,
+      after: complexityAfter,
+      improvement: `${(((complexityBefore - complexityAfter) / complexityBefore) * 100).toFixed(1)}%`,
+    },
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**5.2 Generate Structured Report**
+
+```typescript
+interface KISSReport {
+  metadata: {
+    timestamp: string;
+    scope: string;
+    mode: string;
+    worktree: string;
+    agent: string;
+  };
+  summary: {
+    totalIssues: number;
+    critical: number;
+    high: number;
+    medium: number;
+    low: number;
+    potentialImpact: string;
+  };
+  issues: Issue[];
+  metrics: Metrics;
+  recommendations: string[];
+  worktreeChanges: {
+    location: string;
+    filesModified: number;
+    diffSummary: string;
+  };
+}
+
+function generateReport(issues: Issue[], metrics: Metrics, worktreePath: string): KISSReport {
+  return {
+    metadata: {
+      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
+      scope: process.env.SCOPE || "all",
+      mode: process.env.MODE || "full",
+      worktree: worktreePath,
+      agent: "kiss-simplifier",
+    },
+    summary: {
+      totalIssues: issues.length,
+      critical: metrics.issuesBySeverity.critical || 0,
+      high: metrics.issuesBySeverity.high || 0,
+      medium: metrics.issuesBySeverity.medium || 0,
+      low: metrics.issuesBySeverity.low || 0,
+      potentialImpact: generateImpactSummary(metrics),
+    },
+    issues: issues.sort((a, b) => {
+      // Sort by severity, then file
+      const severityOrder = { critical: 0, high: 1, medium: 2, low: 3 };
+      return severityOrder[a.severity] - severityOrder[b.severity];
+    }),
+    metrics,
+    recommendations: generateRecommendations(issues, metrics),
+    worktreeChanges: {
+      location: worktreePath,
+      filesModified: metrics.filesModified,
+      diffSummary: execSync(`git -C ${worktreePath} diff --stat HEAD`, { encoding: "utf-8" }),
+    },
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 6: Return to Claude Code
+
+**6.1 Format Report for Claude Code**
+
+```typescript
+function formatReportForClaudeCode(report: KISSReport): string {

+
+**6.2 Return Report**
+
+The agent returns the formatted report to Claude Code, which will:
+
+1. Review the findings
+2. Validate against KISS principles
+3. Request refinements if needed
+4. Generate final `.kiss.local.md` report
+5. Present to user with options
+
+## Agent Constraints
+
+### What the Agent MUST DO
+
+1. ✅ Always create git worktree for changes (never modify main tree)
+2. ✅ Run all available static analysis tools
+3. ✅ Validate changes with TypeScript compiler
+4. ✅ Preserve functionality (no behavior changes)
+5. ✅ Report all issues with severity and category
+6. ✅ Include metrics (before/after complexity scores)
+7. ✅ Generate diff summary for worktree changes
+
+### What the Agent MUST NOT DO
+
+1. ❌ Never modify files in main working tree
+2. ❌ Never commit changes automatically
+3. ❌ Never push changes to remote
+4. ❌ Never delete code without confirming it's truly unused
+5. ❌ Never skip TypeScript compilation validation
+6. ❌ Never change functionality (only structure/style)
+7. ❌ Never merge worktree without human approval
+
+### What the Agent SHOULD DO
+
+1. ⚠️ Should run tests in worktree to verify functionality
+2. ⚠️ Should suggest names that balance brevity and clarity
+3. ⚠️ Should extract repeated code to shared functions
+4. ⚠️ Should use guard clauses to reduce nesting
+5. ⚠️ Should document why certain code is flagged
+6. ⚠️ Should provide concrete before/after examples
+
+### What the Agent CAN SKIP
+
+1. ✓ Can skip slow checks if `--fast` flag is set
+2. ✓ Can skip security scan (Semgrep) for faster execution
+3. ✓ Can skip coverage analysis if not relevant
+4. ✓ Can skip test execution if TypeScript compilation passes
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The agent must handle errors gracefully and report them to Claude Code:
+
+**Tool installation failure:**
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  execSync("bun add -D knip fta-cli");
+} catch (error) {
+  return {
+    status: "error",
+    message: "Failed to install analysis tools",
+    error: error.message,
+    suggestion:
+      "Install manually: bun add -D knip fta-cli eslint-plugin-sonarjs dependency-cruiser",
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**Worktree creation failure:**
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  execSync(`git worktree add ${worktreePath} HEAD`);
+} catch (error) {
+  return {
+    status: "error",
+    message: "Failed to create git worktree",
+    error: error.message,
+    suggestion: "Ensure working tree is clean and git is available",
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**TypeScript compilation failure:**
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  execSync("tsc --noEmit", { cwd: worktreePath });
+} catch (error) {
+  return {
+    status: "warning",
+    message: "TypeScript errors in worktree",
+    error: error.message,
+    suggestion: "Some simplifications may need manual review",
+    continueAnyway: true,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**Test failure in worktree:**
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  execSync("bun test", { cwd: worktreePath });
+} catch (error) {
+  return {
+    status: "warning",
+    message: "Tests failed in worktree",
+    error: error.message,
+    suggestion: "Functionality may have changed. Review simplifications carefully.",
+    continueAnyway: true,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+**Parallel execution:**
+
+- Run all static analysis tools in parallel
+- Use multiple CPU cores for large codebases
+- Cache analysis results for repeated runs
+
+**Incremental analysis:**
+
+- Only analyze files in scope (not entire codebase)
+- Skip unchanged files on subsequent runs
+- Use git diff to identify changed files
+
+**Resource limits:**
+
+- Timeout after 5 minutes for large codebases
+- Limit worktree size to prevent disk space issues
+- Clean up worktrees older than 7 days
+
+## Integration with Claude Code
+
+The agent is invoked by Claude Code via the Task tool:
+
+```typescript
+await Task({
+  subagent_type: "kiss-simplifier",
+  description: "Analyze code for over-engineering",
+  prompt: `Analyze ${scope} for KISS violations...`,
+});
+```
+
+Claude Code receives the formatted report and:
+
+1. Validates findings against KISS principles
+2. Requests refinements if needed (re-invoke agent)
+3. Generates final `.kiss.local.md` report
+4. Presents to user with actionable options
+
+## Testing the Agent
+
+**Unit tests:**
+
+```bash
+# Test dead code detection
+bun test src/analysis/dead-code.test.ts
+
+# Test complexity analysis
+bun test src/analysis/complexity.test.ts
+
+# Test AI pattern detection
+bun test src/analysis/ai-patterns.test.ts
+```
+
+**Integration tests:**
+
+```bash
+# Test full workflow
+bun test src/analysis/kiss-workflow.test.ts
+
+# Test worktree creation
+bun test src/analysis/worktree.test.ts
+```
+
+**End-to-end test:**
+
+```bash
+# Run against sample codebase
+/kiss tests/fixtures/overengineered-code/
+
+# Verify worktree created
+test -d .worktree/kiss-*
+
+# Verify report generated
+cat .kiss.local.md
+```
