harness:codebase-cleanup

A codebase-cleanup workflow for finding dead code and violations of the project's intended architecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect cleanup targets, apply safe fixes, verify them, and produce a report of resolved and remaining findings.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to discover, classify, fix, and recheck cleanup issues manually.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 22 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 329 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

harness:codebase-cleanup 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Phases:

  • context: Run hotspot detection, build churn map
  • detect: Run dead code and architecture detection in parallel
  • classify: Classify findings, apply hotspot downgrade, cross-concern dedup
  • fix: Convergence loop - apply safe fixes, verify, re-detect (optional)
  • report: Generate actionable report of fixes applied and remaining findings

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
