# CODE-CLEAN — Codebase Cleanup
|
||
|
||
Two-phase cleanup: audit everything first, touch nothing until approved.
|
||
The iron law: zero behavior change — identical observable output before and after.
|
||
|
||
## TARGET
|
||
$ARGUMENTS
|
||
|
||
If blank → entire project from repository root.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## PHASE 1 — AUDIT (read-only)
|
||
|
||
### STEP 1 — LOAD PROJECT NORMS
|
||
|
||
Read the project's coding standards in this priority order:
|
||
|
||
1. `CLAUDE.md` at project root (primary authority)
|
||
2. Language/framework config files present in the repo:
|
||
- JS/TS: `.eslintrc*`, `.prettierrc*`, `tsconfig.json`
|
||
- Python: `pyproject.toml`, `setup.cfg`, `.flake8`, `ruff.toml`
|
||
- PHP: `phpcs.xml`, `.php-cs-fixer.php`
|
||
- Go: `.golangci.yml`
|
||
- General: `.editorconfig`
|
||
3. If neither CLAUDE.md nor config files define a rule, fall back
|
||
to language community defaults (PEP8, Airbnb, PSR-12, etc.)
|
||
|
||
CLAUDE.md rules always win over tool configs when they conflict.
|
||
|
||
### STEP 2 — SCAN
|
||
|
||
Systematically scan the target for three categories of issues.
|
||
|
||
**A. Dead code**
|
||
- Unused imports and variables
|
||
- Unused functions/methods (not exported, no callers)
|
||
- Unreachable code blocks (after return, break, etc.)
|
||
- Commented-out code blocks (more than 2 consecutive lines)
|
||
- TODO/FIXME comments older than 90 days (check with `git log`)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check age of TODO/FIXME comments
|
||
git log --all -p --reverse -S "TODO" -- <file> | head -40
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**B. Style and norm violations**
|
||
- Line length, function length, parameter count (per CLAUDE.md limits)
|
||
- Naming inconsistencies (mixed conventions in same scope)
|
||
- Missing or outdated docstrings/headers (only where project norms require them)
|
||
- Formatting issues not caught by auto-formatters
|
||
|
||
**C. Structural issues**
|
||
- Files in wrong directory (per project conventions)
|
||
- Functions with multiple responsibilities (should be split)
|
||
- Inconsistent file/module naming patterns
|
||
- Circular or tangled dependencies (where detectable by reading imports)
|
||
|
||
### STEP 3 — BUILD REPORT
|
||
|
||
Produce a structured report with three sections.
|
||
Each item follows this format:
|
||
```
|
||
file:line — description — severity — proposed fix
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Severity levels:
|
||
- **blocking**: must fix (dead code with side-effect risk, norm violation that breaks build/lint)
|
||
- **warn**: should fix (unused code, style violations, naming inconsistencies)
|
||
- **info**: optional improvement (minor structural suggestions)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
CODE-CLEAN AUDIT — <target>
|
||
Scanned: <N files, N lines>
|
||
Norms source: <CLAUDE.md / .eslintrc / PEP8 fallback / etc.>
|
||
|
||
═══ DEAD CODE ═══
|
||
1. src/utils.py:42 — unused import `os` — warn — delete import
|
||
2. src/api/handler.ts:118-134 — commented-out block — warn — delete block
|
||
3. ...
|
||
|
||
═══ STYLE VIOLATIONS ═══
|
||
1. src/core/parser.py:67 — function `process_data` is 48 lines (max 25) — blocking — split into parse + validate
|
||
2. ...
|
||
|
||
═══ STRUCTURAL ISSUES ═══
|
||
1. lib/helpers/auth.ts — auth logic in helpers/, should be in lib/auth/ — info — move file
|
||
2. ...
|
||
|
||
TOTALS: <N blocking, N warn, N info>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If no issues found: report clean state and stop.
|
||
|
||
### VALIDATION GATE
|
||
|
||
Present the report. Ask the user:
|
||
- Which items to approve for execution
|
||
- Which items to skip
|
||
- Any items needing clarification
|
||
|
||
**Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until the user explicitly approves.**
|
||
|
||
If the user says "all" or "go ahead" → approve everything.
|
||
If the user cherry-picks → execute only approved items.
|
||
|
||
#### Empty-approval branch
|
||
|
||
If the user denies every item, replies "skip", "none", "don't fix anything", or
|
||
declines to approve any item:
|
||
|
||
1. Print:
|
||
```
|
||
CODE-CLEAN — NO-OP
|
||
APPROVED: 0 items
|
||
ACTION : audit only — no files modified
|
||
```
|
||
2. Skip Phase 2 entirely. Do NOT run STEP 4–7.
|
||
3. Still write the audit report to `.claude/audits/CODE-CLEAN.md` so the
|
||
findings are recorded for next session.
|
||
4. Still write `.claude/audits/BUGS-FOUND.md` if STEP 3 detected real bugs
|
||
(those are signal regardless of cleanup approval).
|
||
5. Exit cleanly with summary `"Audit recorded. No changes applied."` — do not
|
||
warn or escalate. The user's "no" is a valid outcome.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## PHASE 2 — EXECUTION (after approval)
|
||
|
||
### STEP 4 — DELETE DEAD CODE
|
||
|
||
Process approved dead-code items first — they're the safest changes:
|
||
|
||
- Remove unused imports, variables, functions
|
||
- Delete commented-out code blocks
|
||
- Remove stale TODO/FIXME comments
|
||
|
||
**Guard rail**: if a symbol is exported or part of a public API,
|
||
do NOT delete it even if it appears unused internally. Flag it
|
||
and ask for explicit per-item confirmation.
|
||
|
||
### STEP 5 — STYLE FIXES + STRUCTURAL REFACTORING
|
||
|
||
For approved style and structural items:
|
||
|
||
1. Load and follow `$HOME/.claude/agents/refactorer.md`
|
||
2. Pass the approved list as the refactoring scope
|
||
3. The refactorer handles the actual code changes with its own
|
||
safety process (pre-report, function-by-function, test after each)
|
||
|
||
Do NOT call the `/refactor` skill — invoke the agent directly.
|
||
|
||
### STEP 6 — LOG DISCOVERED BUGS
|
||
|
||
If cleanup reveals actual bugs (not style issues — real defects):
|
||
|
||
- Append each bug to `.claude/audits/BUGS-FOUND.md` (run `mkdir -p .claude/audits` first):
|
||
```
|
||
## [date] Bug found during code-clean
|
||
- **File**: <file:line>
|
||
- **Description**: <what's wrong>
|
||
- **Severity**: <estimate>
|
||
- **Discovered while**: <what cleanup task surfaced it>
|
||
```
|
||
- Do NOT fix bugs here. Cleanup and bugfixing are separate concerns.
|
||
|
||
### STEP 7 — RE-AUDIT
|
||
|
||
After all changes are applied:
|
||
|
||
1. Re-scan only the modified files
|
||
2. Verify no new issues were introduced
|
||
3. Run tests if available:
|
||
```bash
|
||
# detect and run project test suite
|
||
```
|
||
4. Run linter/formatter if available
|
||
|
||
### STEP 8 — SUMMARY
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
CODE-CLEAN COMPLETE — <target>
|
||
|
||
REMOVED:
|
||
- <N> dead code items (unused imports, functions, commented blocks)
|
||
|
||
REFACTORED:
|
||
- <N> style fixes
|
||
- <N> structural improvements
|
||
|
||
SKIPPED (user decision):
|
||
- <item> — <reason>
|
||
|
||
BUGS FOUND: <N> (logged to .claude/audits/BUGS-FOUND.md)
|
||
|
||
TESTS: passing / no test suite / <failures>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## RULES
|
||
|
||
- Zero behavior change. If you're unsure whether a deletion changes
|
||
behavior, leave it and flag it — never guess.
|
||
- No "while we're here" scope creep. Only fix approved items.
|
||
- Exported/public API symbols require explicit per-item user confirmation
|
||
before deletion — even if they appear unused.
|
||
- Bugs go to .claude/audits/BUGS-FOUND.md, not fixed in this workflow.
|
||
- If the codebase has no tests and the changes are non-trivial,
|
||
warn the user about the risk before executing.
|
||
- No plugin check (lightweight skill, not an orchestrator).
|
||
- If the audit reveals systemic issues requiring architecture changes,
|
||
stop and suggest `/ship-feature` for a proper redesign.
