What I do
- •Operate strictly within the
orchestrator/folder. - •Produce a Markdown report describing:
- •Duplication / near-duplication
- •Over-complex functions / “god modules”
- •Inconsistent error handling and logging
- •Use
npm run check:allas the authoritative signal for tests + linting. - •Do not change code, configuration, scripts, or dependencies. This skill outputs a report only.
When to use me
Use this when you want an evidence-driven code quality assessment and a prioritized plan for remediation without implementing changes yet.
Constraints
- •Work only in
orchestrator/. Do not analyze or reference other folders except when required to understand imports intoorchestrator/. - •Do not propose changes to tooling. Assume
npm run check:allis the existing gate. - •Do not perform refactors. Do not open PRs. Do not rewrite files. Report findings and recommended fixes only.
Inputs I expect
- •Repository access with an
orchestrator/directory. - •Ability to run
npm run check:allfrom withinorchestrator/. - •(Optional but recommended) Output logs from
npm run check:allif the environment cannot run commands.
Process
- •
Set working area
- •Ensure all investigation is scoped to
orchestrator/.
- •Ensure all investigation is scoped to
- •
Execute quality gate
- •Run
npm run check:allinorchestrator/. - •Capture:
- •lint errors/warnings (rule IDs, counts, file paths)
- •failing tests (test names, stack traces, determinism vs flakiness indicators)
- •coverage output (if produced by the command)
- •Run
- •
Assess duplication
- •Identify copy/paste and near-duplicate logic patterns in
orchestrator/:- •repeated parsing/validation
- •repeated error mapping and response shaping
- •repeated API call wrappers / fetch patterns
- •repeated UI hooks/components with minor differences (if applicable)
- •Prefer evidence:
- •“same structure appears in files A/B/C”
- •“multiple implementations differ only by X/Y flags”
- •If the repo already includes duplication tooling, use it; otherwise rely on code inspection and minimal search.
- •Identify copy/paste and near-duplicate logic patterns in
- •
Assess complexity hotspots
- •Identify functions/modules with:
- •deep nesting
- •long functions
- •mixed responsibilities (validation + IO + transformation + logging)
- •difficult-to-test implicit dependencies
- •Provide concrete hotspots (file paths, function names) and why they’re hotspots.
- •Identify functions/modules with:
- •
Assess error handling and logging consistency
- •Check for:
- •multiple error shapes (different status codes/messages for same category)
- •swallowed errors vs raw throws
- •missing context/correlation fields in logs
- •potentially sensitive data in logs
- •Identify boundary points (handlers, adapters) where standardization should occur.
- •Check for:
- •
Synthesize a fix plan
- •Provide a prioritized plan with blast radius assessment and test needs.
- •Do not implement. Do not request changes. Report recommended actions only.
Report output format
Create a single Markdown report containing these sections:
1. Scope and constraints
- •Confirm
orchestrator/scope and reliance onnpm run check:all.
2. Evidence summary
- •
npm run check:alloutcome:- •Lint: top rule IDs + counts + representative file paths
- •Tests: failing tests list + deterministic vs flaky notes
- •Coverage: summary if present
3. What’s wrong and why it matters
Include these subsections (at minimum):
3.1 Duplication and near-duplication
- •Symptoms observed (with file-level examples)
- •Why it matters in this repo
- •What should be done to fix it (safe refactor tactics + tests needed)
3.2 Over-complex functions and “god modules”
- •Hotspots (file paths + functions)
- •Risk explanation (bug surface, change friction)
- •What should be done (decomposition targets + boundaries + tests)
3.3 Inconsistent error handling and logging
- •Inconsistencies found (examples)
- •Operational/security impact
- •What should be done (standard error types/mapping + logging conventions)
4. Fix strategy (prioritized)
- •Phase 1 — Reduce duplication safely
- •Phase 2 — Decrease complexity in hotspots
- •Phase 3 — Standardize error handling and logging
Each phase must include:
- •Ordered list of actions
- •Expected blast radius (low/medium/high)
- •Required test additions (if any)
- •Validation steps (how to confirm improvement via
npm run check:all)
5. Definition of done
- •
npm run check:allpasses reliably - •Measurable reduction in targeted duplication clusters
- •Complexity hotspots reduced or isolated behind clear boundaries
- •Error/logging behavior consistent at boundaries
- •No coverage regressions (if coverage is tracked)
Quality bar for recommendations
- •Be specific: include file paths, function names, rule IDs, and observed patterns.
- •Be conservative: prefer small, behavior-preserving refactors in the plan.
- •Avoid “make it green” shortcuts:
- •do not recommend disabling lint rules/tests as a first move
- •if quarantining a flaky test is suggested, include a concrete follow-up requirement and deadline policy
