A quick, sterile tour of the `/simplify` command in an idealized setting. It demonstrates the feature but won't prepare you for the messiness of a real codebase.

Who it's for
Developers looking for a scripted first-time experience with Copilot Agent for refactoring.
Who should skip it
Experienced developers or anyone needing to refactor non-trivial, real-world code.
Pros
Live sandbox environment is pre-configured.
Gives a basic sense of the `/simplify` command workflow.
Very fast to complete.
Cons
Example code is trivial and perfectly set up for Copilot to succeed.
Feels more like a product demo than a skills exercise.
Doesn't address what to do when the agent fails or hallucinates.
I typed `/simplify` and Copilot Agent perfectly merged two identical JavaScript functions. Of course it did. This isn't a refactoring lesson; it's a sales demo for a feature. It shows the happy path, the one I never seem to find in my own code. The module won't teach you what to do when the agent inevitably messes up.
