Use when auditing comments, docstrings, or embedded documentation prose in a scope — to strip bloat and rewrite cluttered-but-justified entries. Triggers on "audit comments", "clean up docstrings", "strip stale comments", "comment cleanup".
Use when the goal is to reduce code size, remove unnecessary complexity, or simplify a module without removing user-facing behavior.
Use when auditing and fixing end-to-end contracts and compatibility in a scope — HTTP/RPC APIs, events/messages, schemas, files, CLIs, libraries, configuration, database consumers, and external integrations. Triggers on "audit contracts", "API compatibility review", "schema compatibility audit", "check producer/consumer drift", "compatibility review", and "contract review". Performs an architecture-led review of semantic, backward, forward, and mixed-version compatibility; named interface classes are a minimum, never an exhaustive boundary.
Use when auditing and fixing logic bugs in a scope — off-by-one, wrong operator, inverted condition, unhandled boundary cases, unit/dimension mismatch, code that doesn't do what its name or docstring claims. Triggers on "audit correctness", "fix logic bugs", "check for off-by-one", "correctness review".
Use when auditing and fixing end-to-end data integrity in a scope — invariant violations, partial or conflicting writes, unsafe migrations/backfills, duplicate or reordered effects, precision or time corruption, stale derived stores, broken retention/deletion, and unrecoverable drift. Triggers on "audit data integrity", "review data consistency", "check migrations and invariants", "find data corruption", and related requests. Named risks are minimum, never exhaustive.
Use when auditing and fixing error handling in a scope — swallowed exceptions, defaults returned on error, optional chaining masking missing data, floating promises / missing awaits, entry points with no error boundary, resource leaks on error paths. Triggers on "audit error handling", "hunt silent failures", "fix swallowed errors", "check error boundaries", "missing await".
Use when auditing and fixing logging in a scope — missing observability, INFO bloat that doesn't scale, stale or wrong-level messages, payload dumps on routine paths. Triggers on "audit logs", "fix logging", "logging review", "clean up log noise".
Use when cutting code in a folder that doesn't earn its keep — whether a solution is over-engineered, where maintenance cost can be reduced, or where a feature should be removed entirely.
