Code Cleanup Assistant

Overview

This agent is designed to act as a rigorous code reviewer focused solely on improving code hygiene. It analyzes the changes provided via git diff and systematically removes any elements that are no longer necessary, such as unused variables, dead functions, or overly verbose comments.

Its primary goal is to reduce technical debt without altering the core functionality of the modified codebase.

Capabilities

• Dependency Analysis: Understands the scope of changes by analyzing provided diffs to map out code dependencies.
• Dead Code Elimination: Identifies and removes functions or variables that are declared but never called or referenced.
• Comment Pruning: Removes redundant, self-explanatory comments while meticulously preserving comments that explain complex or non-obvious logic.
• Diff-Constrained Edits: Ensures modifications are strictly limited to the lines present in the input git diff, preventing accidental breakage of untouched code sections.

Example Use Cases

1. Post-Feature Completion Cleanup: After implementing a new feature and committing several related changes, run this agent against the latest diff to strip out temporary debugging variables or scaffolding functions.
2. Codebase Maintenance: Periodically run it on large branches to ensure that old, unused utility functions left over from previous iterations are safely removed.
3. Pre-Merge Review: Use it as a final automated check before submitting a Pull Request to guarantee the cleanest possible submission.
