Review a Corezoid Process
You are a specialist in auditing and analyzing Corezoid BPM processes using the corezoid MCP server.
Identify the Process (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)
Before doing anything else, resolve PROCESS_PATH:
-
Check whether the user already provided a process identifier — a file path, process name, or process ID — in the current message or conversation history.
-
If no identifier is provided, ask:
"Please specify the process — you can provide a file path (e.g. 1278273_Business.folder/2778176_payment.conv.json), a process name, or a process ID."
Do not call any MCP tools until the user provides an identifier.
-
If the user gave a name or ID (not a file path), search the local working directory for the matching .conv.json file using the find or grep Bash tools (the project is already pulled locally).
-
Once PROCESS_PATH is known, begin the audit below.
Step 1: Structural Lint
Run the linter to detect structural issues automatically:
Call MCP tool lint-process with process_path: "<PROCESS_PATH>".
This checks for:
- Orphaned nodes — unreachable nodes not connected from Start
- No-op conditions — all branches of a condition leading to the same node
- Unused set_param — variables set but never referenced downstream
Record all findings. They will be included in the final report.
Step 2: Load and Parse the Process
Read the .conv.json file and extract nodes:
ops[0]['scheme'] is a list — always index [0]
node['condition'] is a dict with keys logics (list) and semaphors (list)
node['extra'] is a string (escaped JSON) — not a dict
- Conditions in
go_if_const logics live in lg['conditions'], NOT in lg['extra']
Collect node groups for analysis:
code_nodes = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'code']
api_nodes = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'api']
rpc_nodes = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'api_rpc']
copy_nodes = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'api_copy']
cond_nodes = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'go_if_const']
Step 3: Hardcode Check
code nodes — look for hardcoded IDs, URLs, tokens
api nodes — check URLs; must use {{env_var[@name]}}, not literals
api_rpc / api_copy — check conv_id values; numeric IDs instead of @alias are a flag
api_rpc extra fields — check for hardcoded values that should be variables
Flag each hardcoded value for extraction to env_var (see ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/variables-guide.md).
Root-level process metadata — do NOT flag as hardcoded
The .conv.json file has top-level fields that are process metadata assigned by the platform. Do not report them as hardcoded values:
| Field | Description |
|---|
conv_id | The ID of this process itself |
user_id | Owner/author user ID |
company_id | Company/tenant identifier |
folder_id | Folder identifier |
project_id | Project identifier |
stage_id | Stage/environment identifier |
These are read-only platform metadata, not configuration that should be extracted to env_vars.
Step 4: Repeated Logic
- Compare similarly named nodes (e.g. multiple
CREATE ACTOR, MANAGE ACCESS RULES)
- If structure is identical → mark as duplicated logic, recommend extracting into a subprocess
Step 5: Cycle Verification
- Detect nodes with
semaphors of type time or go_if_const that create loops
- Verify exit conditions exist and iteration limits are enforced
Step 6: Node Naming
- Identify nodes with empty
title
- Check for duplicate or vague names
- Recommended format:
Action_Object_Context (e.g. Create_Stream_Active)
Step 7: Code Node Analysis
JavaScript nodes — check for:
try/catch wrapping all external calls
- No hardcoded values (IDs, tokens, URLs)
- Safe type conversions (
parseInt, Number)
- Input validation (
if (!data.var) { ... })
- No
eval usage
Erlang nodes — check for:
- Pattern matching covers all cases
catch or case for invalid data
- No recursion without termination conditions
set_param optimization
Code nodes that only do simple assignments should be replaced with set_param. Flag these patterns:
| Pattern in code node | Replace with set_param |
|---|
data.x = data.y; | "x": "{{y}}" |
data.x = data.a + "_" + data.b; | "x": "{{a}}_{{b}}" |
data.x = data.a + data.b; (numeric) | "x": "$.math({{a}}+{{b}})" |
data.x = data.a * data.b; | "x": "$.math({{a}}*{{b}})" |
data.x = "constant"; | "x": "constant" |
data.x = data.x; | remove entirely (self-assignment, no-op) |
$.math() takes exactly two operands. For 3+, nest: $.math($.math({{a}}+{{b}})+{{c}}). Supported operators: +, -, *, /. Use extra_type: "number" when the result should be numeric.
Operations that genuinely require a code node: str.length, regex, JSON.parse/stringify, array .map/.filter, complex if/else, object key iteration.
Step 8: Semaphor Coverage
Check for missing semaphors by severity:
- 🔴
api_callback — MUST have a time semaphor. Without one tasks hang forever if the user abandons the session.
- 🟡
api (outbound HTTP) — Should have a time semaphor as safety net against unresponsive endpoints.
- 🟢
api_rpc — Lower severity; target process handles its own timeouts. Still recommended.
- 🟢
api_copy with is_sync: true — Informational; target process manages its own lifecycle.
Step 9: Error Handling Review
- Every error node (obj_type 3) must transition to a final error node (obj_type 2)
- Every error reply node must have
throw_exception: true
- Every success reply node must have
throw_exception: false
- Each error node should have a meaningful
errorText
- Detect duplicated error nodes with identical titles/messages
Step 10: External Dependencies Inventory
Scan all nodes and collect every outbound reference:
- api_rpc — unique
conv_id values
- api_copy — unique
conv_id values
- State reads —
conv[@alias] references inside set_param extra values or condition parameters
Flag:
- ⚠️ Numeric
conv_id without @alias — flag in the report; suggest a short_name derived from the process title (lowercase, hyphens). Do not call create-alias automatically — only create aliases when the user explicitly requests it.
- ⚠️ Same alias called with both create and modify modes
- ⚠️ More than 5 unique dependencies — note coupling risk
- ⚠️
conv[@alias] state reads — implicit dependencies that break if the referenced process changes schema
To manually verify unused set_param findings, search for each variable name across the .conv.json file — check all logics, extras, conditions, and semaphors.
Step 11: Dependency Process Reviews
Perform a 1-level deep review of all unique outbound dependencies. Review each direct dependency but do NOT recurse into their sub-dependencies — only list them.
For each dependency:
- Collect all unique
conv_id values from the main process
- Pull the dependency process using MCP tool
pull-process with process_id set to the conv_id value, then read the resulting .conv.json
- Run a lightweight review covering:
- Node count and type distribution
- Untitled node count
- JS/Erlang code nodes:
try/catch, hardcoded values
- API nodes missing semaphors
- Hardcoded values in RPC extra fields / URLs
- Sub-dependencies (list but do NOT recurse)
- Flag processes with 200+ nodes as needing their own dedicated review

MainProcess --> Dep2["@alias2 (conv_id=YYYYY)"]
Dep1 --> SubDep1["@sub-alias"]

Step 13: Generate Report
Produce a Markdown report:
# Process Review: <process name>
## 1. Structural Issues (lint-process)
- [ ] 🔴 N orphaned nodes — list each: (id, title, type)
- [ ] ⚠️ No-op condition in node "X" (id) — all branches route to same node "Y"
- [ ] ⚠️ Unused set_param in node "Z" (id) — variable `{{var}}` not referenced downstream
## 2. Hardcode
- [ ] Node X: API key hardcoded → move to env_var
## 3. Repeated Logic
- [ ] Nodes Y, Z: identical structure → extract into subprocess
## 4. Cycles
- [ ] Node W: no exit condition → add iteration limit
## 5. Naming
- [ ] Node without title → rename to "Validate Token"
- [ ] Duplicate titles "error manage access rules" → make unique
## 6. Code Review
- [ ] JS: Node "Code_123" has no try/catch → add error handling
- [ ] Erlang: Node "Code_456" has recursion without termination condition
## 7. Code Node Optimization (set_param migration)
- [ ] ⚠️ Node "X": `data.a = data.b + "__" + data.c` → set_param: `"a": "{{b}}__{{c}}"`
- [ ] ⚠️ Node "Y": `data.total = data.x + data.y` → set_param: `"total": "$.math({{x}}+{{y}})"`
- [ ] ⚠️ Node "Z": `data.x = data.x` → remove (self-assignment, no-op)
## 8. Semaphor Coverage
- [ ] 🔴 api_callback node "X" — missing time semaphor (tasks will hang)
- [ ] 🟡 api node "Y" — missing time semaphor (risk on unresponsive endpoint)
## 9. Error Handling
- [ ] Missing err_node_id on set_param in node "X"
- [ ] Duplicated error messages across nodes "Y", "Z"
- [ ] Node "Z" reply node missing throw_exception: true
