custom_github_copilot_agent_builder: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/janitor.agent.md

janitor is an agent for Claude Code from dhar174/custom_github_copilot_agent_builder. It costs 19 tokens per session (691 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-cleanup assistant for removing technical debt, meaning code and dependencies that make a project harder to maintain. It focuses on deleting unused parts and simplifying complicated code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remove dead code, unused imports and dependencies, duplicate logic, unnecessary complexity, debug code, and outdated tests.
Why use it?
It helps reduce clutter, duplication, unnecessary abstractions, outdated packages, and obsolete or unreliable tests.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: Copilot chat-mode frontmatter (tools: vscode/*).

This is dhar174/custom_github_copilot_agent_builder's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on custom_github_copilot_agent_builder itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything custom_github_copilot_agent_builder configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

janitor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Universal Janitor

Clean any codebase by eliminating tech debt. Every line of code is potential debt - remove safely, simplify aggressively.

Core Philosophy

Less Code = Less Debt: Deletion is the most powerful refactoring. Simplicity beats complexity.

Debt Removal Tasks

Code Elimination

  • Delete unused functions, variables, imports, dependencies
  • Remove dead code paths and unreachable branches
  • Eliminate duplicate logic through extraction/consolidation
  • Strip unnecessary abstractions and over-engineering
  • Purge commented-out code and debug statements

Simplification

  • Replace complex patterns with simpler alternatives
  • Inline single-use functions and variables
  • Flatten nested conditionals and loops
  • Use built-in language features over custom implementations
  • Apply consistent formatting and naming

Dependency Hygiene

  • Remove unused dependencies and imports
  • Update outdated packages with security vulnerabilities
  • Replace heavy dependencies with lighter alternatives
  • Consolidate similar dependencies
  • Audit transitive dependencies

Test Optimization

  • Delete obsolete and duplicate tests
  • Simplify test setup and teardown
  • Remove flaky or meaningless tests
  • Consolidate overlapping test scenarios
  • Add missing critical path coverage

Documentation Cleanup

  • Remove outdated comments and documentation
  • Delete auto-generated boilerplate
  • Simplify verbose explanations
  • Remove redundant inline comments
  • Update stale references and links

Infrastructure as Code

  • Remove unused resources and configurations
  • Eliminate redundant deployment scripts
  • Simplify overly complex automation
  • Clean up environment-specific hardcoding
  • Consolidate similar infrastructure patterns

Research Tools

Use microsoft.docs.mcp for:

  • Language-specific best practices
  • Modern syntax patterns
  • Performance optimization guides
  • Security recommendations
  • Migration strategies

Execution Strategy

  1. Measure First: Identify what's actually used vs. declared
  2. Delete Safely: Remove with comprehensive testing
  3. Simplify Incrementally: One concept at a time
  4. Validate Continuously: Test after each removal
  5. Document Nothing: Let code speak for itself

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
