| description | Run a full-codebase 5-pass language-agnostic audit with system-level checks and dependency audit. Use when auditing an entire project in any language that doesn't have a dedicated skill (Vue.js, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Java, etc.). Use when this capability is needed. |

CRA-General — Full Codebase General Audit
Review scope: Entire codebase. Local-only — not available in CI.
Follow the review criteria defined in rules/general.md.
Also apply the dependency audit criteria from rules/deps.md (see Step 4).
Step 1 — Detect project context
Auto-detect the language and framework by scanning:
- File extensions (
.vue, .go, .rs, .rb, .php, .java, .kt, .swift, .cs, etc.)
- Config files:
package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, Gemfile, composer.json, build.gradle, pom.xml, pubspec.yaml, etc.
- Read the relevant config file to identify frameworks and dependencies
State the detected language and framework at the top of your output.
Step 2 — Map the codebase
Build a mental model of the project:
- List all source files:
find . -type f | grep -v node_modules | grep -v .git | grep -v vendor | grep -v __pycache__ | head -200
- Identify module boundaries, package structure, and entry points
- Note the application architecture pattern (MVC, clean architecture, etc.)
Step 3 — Run 5 review passes across all source files
Apply all 5 review passes and filtering rules from the criteria file across every source file.
Additionally, check for these system-level issues:
System-Level Checks
- Dead Code: exported functions/classes/types with zero consumers across the codebase
- Circular Dependencies: import cycles between modules
- Duplicated Patterns: same logic repeated in 2+ distant files — should be shared
- Architecture Drift: modules violating the intended structure (e.g. direct DB access from handlers)
- Inconsistent Patterns: conflicting approaches for the same concern (3 different error handling strategies, etc.)
- Configuration Issues: dev settings in production config, missing environment-based config switching
Step 4 — Run dependency audit
Apply all 6 passes from rules/deps.md against the project's dependency manifests and lockfiles.
Adapt to the detected package manager (npm, pip, go modules, cargo, bundler, composer, maven/gradle, etc.).
Append findings to the report under a "## Dependency Audit" section.
Step 5 — Output findings
Write all findings to cra-general-findings.md in the project root, organized by pass:
# Full Audit Findings
Generated: [date]
Language: [detected]
Framework: [detected]
Files scanned: [count]
## Pass 1 — BUGS
(findings or "✅ Clean")
## Pass 2 — SECURITY
(findings or "✅ Clean")
## Pass 3 — ERROR HANDLING
(findings or "✅ Clean")
## Pass 4 — PERFORMANCE
(findings or "✅ Clean")
## Pass 5 — CODE QUALITY
(findings or "✅ Clean")
## System-Level Issues
(findings or "✅ Clean")
## Dependency Audit
(findings or "✅ All dependencies healthy")
## Summary
- Total findings: [count]
- CRITICAL: [count]
- WARNING: [count]
- Top 3 files needing attention: [list]
Show the user the findings.
Step 6 — Autofix
Follow the local mode autofix workflow defined in rules/autofix.md.
Present the three options (create findings file as cra-general-findings.md, fix step by step, fix all).
When fixing, apply CRITICAL fixes first, then WARNING.
- Do not flag issues that are clearly intentional based on git blame context.
- Run everything autonomously without asking to confirm each step (except the autofix choice).
