simplify

# simplify

Rewrite complex text using simpler words and shorter sentences. Use --level to target a specific reading level (default: 5th grade).

## Installation

This is a CmdForge tool. Install it from the registry:

```bash
cmdforge install simplify
```

## Usage

The `simplify` tool works with piped input:

```bash
# Simplify text from stdin
echo "The implementation necessitates comprehensive refactoring of the architectural paradigm." | simplify

# Simplify text from a file
cat complex_document.txt | simplify

# Target a different reading level
echo "Utilize sophisticated methodologies for optimization." | simplify --level "3rd grade reading level"

# Simplify and save to file
cat legal_text.txt | simplify > simplified.txt
```

## Arguments

| Flag | Variable | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--level` | level | 5th grade reading level | Target reading level for simplified output |

## How It Works

1. **AI Simplification** (step_1): Uses the `opencode-pickle` AI provider to rewrite the input text at the specified reading level, replacing complex vocabulary with simpler words and breaking down long sentences.
