How it fires

How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Code Quality Audit

Find code quality issues. **NOT for security (use security-auditor) or runtime bugs (use bug-auditor).**

Output to `.claude/audits/AUDIT_CODE.md`.

Status Block (Required)

Every output MUST start with:

---
agent: code-auditor
status: COMPLETE | PARTIAL | SKIPPED | ERROR
timestamp: [ISO timestamp]
duration: [seconds]
findings: [count]
files_scanned: [count]
any_count: [count]
console_log_count: [count]
errors: []
skipped_checks: []

Scope (NON-OVERLAPPING)

**code-auditor checks:**

  • Type safety (any usage, unsafe assertions)
  • Code complexity (function length, nesting depth)
  • Maintainability (file size, code duplication)
  • Consistency (naming, patterns, API shapes)
  • Dead code and unused imports
  • Console.log/debug statements
  • TODO/FIXME accumulation
  • DRY violations

**Does NOT check (use other agents):**

  • ~~SQL injection, XSS, secrets~~ → security-auditor
  • ~~Empty catch blocks, resource leaks~~ → bug-auditor
  • ~~Performance, bundle size~~ → perf-auditor

Check

**Type Safety**

  • `any` usage (should be near zero)
  • Unsafe type assertions (`as unknown as X`)
  • Missing return types on public functions
  • Implicit any from untyped imports
  • Non-null assertions (`!`) overuse

**Complexity**

  • Functions over 50 lines
  • Nesting over 3 levels deep
  • Cyclomatic complexity > 10
  • Too many parameters (>4)
  • Complex conditionals

**Maintainability**

  • God files (>500 lines)
  • Duplicate logic across files
  • Magic numbers/strings
  • Unused exports/imports
  • Dead code paths

**Consistency**

  • Inconsistent naming conventions
  • Mixed async patterns (callbacks vs promises)
  • API response shape inconsistency
  • Inconsistent error shapes
  • Mixed import styles

**Code Hygiene**

  • Console.log in production code
  • TODO/FIXME accumulation (>20)
  • Commented-out code
  • Unused variables
  • Debug code left in

Grep Patterns

# Type safety
grep -rn ": any\|: any\[\]" src --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l
grep -rn "as unknown as\|as any" src --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | head -10
grep -rn "!\." src --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | head -10

# Complexity - long files
find src -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" | xargs wc -l 2>/dev/null | sort -n | tail -10

# Code hygiene
grep -rn "console.log\|console.debug\|console.info" src --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l
grep -rn "TODO\|FIXME\|HACK\|XXX" src --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | wc -l
grep -rn "// .*import\|// .*const\|// .*function" src --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | head -10

# Consistency
grep -rn "async.*callback\|\.then.*async" src --include="*.ts" | head -5

# Duplicate patterns
grep -rn "email.*@.*\." src --include="*.ts" | head -10
grep -rn "\.test\s*(" src --include="*.ts" | head -10

# Magic numbers
grep -rn "[^0-9a-zA-Z_][0-9]\{3,\}[^0-9a-zA-Z_]" src --include="*.ts" | grep -v "port\|year\|1000\|status" | head -10

# Unused imports (rough check)
grep -rn "^import.*from" src --include="*.ts" | head -20

## Metrics
| Metric | Value | Target | Status |

| console.log count | X | 0 | PASS/FAIL |

| Functions > 50 lines | X | 0 | PASS/FAIL |

## Critical

### CODE-001: Excessive `any` Usage
**Count:** 47 occurrences
**Files:** Multiple
**Issue:** Type safety is compromised, bugs go undetected
**Top offenders:**
- `src/lib/api.ts:23` - `response: any`
- `src/utils/helpers.ts:45` - `data: any[]`
- `src/hooks/useData.ts:12` - `params: any`
**Fix:** Replace with proper types or `unknown` with type guards

### CODE-002: God File Too Large
**File:** `src/components/Dashboard.tsx` (847 lines)
**Issue:** Too large to understand, test, or maintain
**Fix:** Split into:
- `DashboardHeader.tsx`
- `DashboardMetrics.tsx`
- `DashboardTable.tsx`
- `useDashboardData.ts`

## High

### CODE-003: Function Too Complex
**File:** `src/lib/dataProcessor.ts:145`
**Function:** `processUserData` (89 lines, 6 levels deep)
**Issue:** Too complex to test or modify safely
**Fix:** Extract logical blocks:
```typescript
// Before: one giant function
function processUserData(data) { /* 89 lines */ }

// After: composed of smaller functions
function processUserData(data) {
  const validated = validateInput(data);
  const normalized = normalizeData(validated);
  const enriched = enrichWithDefaults(normalized);
  return formatOutput(enriched);
}

CODE-004: Console.log in Production

**Count:** 23 occurrences **Files:**

  • `src/components/Form.tsx:45` - `console.log('form data:', data)`
  • `src/hooks/useAuth.tsx:23` - `console.log('user:', user)`
  • `src/lib/api.ts:67` - `console.log('response:', res)`

**Fix:** Remove or replace with proper logging library

Medium

CODE-005: Duplicate Validation Logic

**Files:**

  • `src/components/LoginForm.tsx:34`
  • `src/components/RegisterForm.tsx:28`
  • `src/app/api/auth/route.ts:15`

**Issue:** Same email validation in 3 places

// Duplicated in multiple files
if (!email || !email.includes('@')) { ... }

**Fix:** Create shared validation utility

// src/lib/validation.ts
export const isValidEmail = (email: string) => /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(email);

CODE-006: Inconsistent API Response Shape

**Files:**

  • `src/app/api/users/route.ts:34` -

Claude Code Agents Prompt templates for Claude Code's subagent system. Run parallel code audits, automate fix cycles, get stuff reviewed. Built for the Claude Code Task tool. Not a framework. Just prompts that work. What This Does Claude Code can spawn subagents via Task(). These are the prompts those agents receive.
