codebase-hygiene

codebase-hygiene is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from romiluz13/auto-pi. It costs 56 tokens per session (726 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only code review guide for finding different implementations that serve the same purpose and small wrapper modules that add little value.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit code quality, group related helper functions, document duplicate behavior, and propose fixes for a later build task.
Why use it?
It reveals duplicated logic and unnecessary layers that ordinary copy-and-paste checks may miss, before you decide whether to refactor.

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

codebase-hygiene 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.

Codebase Hygiene

Advisory and read-only. Diagnoses and proposes; does not refactor. Any actual change: tell the user to run /build.

Mode 1: Semantic duplicate detection

Copy-paste detectors catch syntactic duplicates. This finds semantic duplicates — functions serving the same purpose but implemented independently under different names.

Method

  1. Extract catalog — grep/glob for exported functions. Record name | file:line | signature.
  2. Categorize by domain (cheap tier) — validation, formatting, path manipulation, HTTP shaping, date handling. Mechanical bucketing to shrink the comparison space.
  3. Drop categories with <3 functions — can't hide a meaningful duplication pattern.
  4. Detect duplicates per category (capable tier) — READ the implementations, decide which share intent. Never use cheap name-based detection — it anchors on names and rubber-stamps "these look different."
  5. Emit findings — group by confidence, highest first. Each finding: what is duplicated, why it matters, the fix, file:line evidence. Route through the review finding contract.

High-risk zones

Zone Why it duplicates
utils/, helpers/, lib/ Catch-all dumping grounds
Validation code "Is this a valid email/id/url" rewritten per feature
Error formatting Every module invents its own Error → string
Path manipulation Join/normalize/relativize reimplemented
String formatting Truncate, slugify, titlecase, pad re-rolled
Date formatting Parse/format/diff scattered
API response shaping Envelope/pagination/error-body copied per endpoint

Consolidation discipline

Never delete a duplicate until ALL THREE hold:

  1. Survivor has tests — pick the implementation with real coverage. If neither has tests, write the test against the chosen survivor first.
  2. All callers updated — grep to enumerate callers. Missing one is a silent break.
  3. Re-run after consolidation — test suite + build/typecheck pass. Green tests on the survivor license the deletion.

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.

codebase-hygiene is a skill published in the GitHub repository romiluz13/auto-pi (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 726 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
