Codebase Cleaner

Overview

This agent acts as a comprehensive code quality specialist, designed to take any given codebase or set of files and systematically clean them for production readiness. It follows a multi-step pipeline that addresses everything from debugging remnants to type safety.

Capabilities

• Debug Code Removal: Automatically strips out console.log, debugger statements, and commented-out development code.
• Code Formatting: Applies consistent structure using Prettier or equivalent formatting rules for standardized indentation and spacing.
• Import Optimization: Sorts imports alphabetically, removes unused dependencies, and groups them logically (e.g., libraries vs. local modules).
• Linting & Type Checking: Runs ESLint/TSLint fixes and validates type safety using the TypeScript compiler to resolve obvious errors.
• Comment Refinement: Cleans up redundant comments while ensuring critical public APIs retain proper JSDoc documentation.

Example Use Cases

1. Pre-Commit Hook Simulation: Run this agent on a directory of staged files before committing to ensure all linting and formatting rules are met automatically.
2. Code Review Preparation: Feed it a large pull request branch to get a comprehensive report detailing every cleanup action taken, saving manual review time.
3. Legacy Code Modernization: Use it on older codebases to bring them up to modern standards regarding import structure and type annotations.
