Vulnerability and security scan (defensive, your own repo): dependency CVEs plus risky code patterns (secrets, injection, weak authz), severity x reachability triaged and remediated without suppressing. Complements the built-in /security-review. Triggers on "absolute audit", "security audit", "are we vulnerable"…
Lint and typecheck debt paydown: clear pre-existing repo-wide lint/type violations and suppressions (@ts-ignore, # type: ignore) one rule per wave, fixing causes not symptoms. Runs on green main. For diff-scoped quality use absolute-simplify. Triggers on "absolute debt", "fix our lint warnings", "clear the type…
Flaky test fixes: detect nondeterministic tests empirically (repeat/shuffle/parallel runs), diagnose the root cause, fix it — never retry/skip/sleep — and verify across many randomized runs. Triggers on "absolute deflake", "fix flaky tests", "CI is flaky", "this test fails randomly/intermittently".
Diátaxis-driven documentation for AI coding agents: write, improve, or audit tutorials, how-tos, reference, explanation, and developer docs (README, CONTRIBUTING, ADRs). Detects the docs stack; gates on the outline before writing prose; verifies every claim against the code before it ships. Triggers on "absolute…
One-time setup for absolute: interview how you want it to behave (output style, autonomy, TDD strictness, spec dir, families) + detect the stack once, then write .absolute.config.json (project, committed) and /.absolute/config.json (user defaults + per-project overrides). Every other absolute- command reads it instead…
Dead code and dependency cleanup, repo-wide: unused deps, unreferenced exports, unreachable code, orphaned files — removed only with tool evidence, in reversible waves. Runs on green main. For diff-scoped cleanup use absolute-simplify. Triggers on "absolute prune", "remove dead code", "find unused deps/exports", "what…
Use when the user wants to simplify, clean up, refactor, tidy, or refine code — their staged/unstaged git changes or a target file/path. Reduces complexity, flattens nesting, removes redundancy and dead code, scores each change by value (holding low-value churn), then runs tests to prove nothing broke. Invoke on…
Lightweight standalone design spec for AI coding agents: codebase scan → bounded clarify pass (3–5 questions, not a grill) → reviewed design doc written to docs/plans/ → independent scored review → stop. No task board, no build. Use when you want a spec to discuss, hand off, or review before committing to…
Dependency upgrades: outdated/vulnerable deps planned into semver waves (patch/minor batched, majors gated and changelog-read), applied incrementally with lockfiles regenerated and tests green after each. Runs on green main. Triggers on "absolute upgrade", "upgrade our dependencies", "bump deps", "update packages"…
