When to Use

Setup

  1. Read ../_shared/common.md for the Iron Law, Project Config, Report Template, and Health Score rules
  2. Read ../_shared/source-coverage.md for book-level coverage, exceptions, and tradeoffs
  3. Read ../_shared/decay-risks.md for production risk symptom definitions
  4. Read ../_shared/test-decay-risks.md for test risk symptom definitions
  5. Read sweep-guide.md in this directory for the unified scan and fix process

Process

If the user has not specified a project or directory: apply Auto Scope Detection from ../_shared/common.md to determine the review scope before proceeding.

  1. Show pre-flight consent notice and wait for the user's one-time approval (Step 0 of the guide)
  2. Enumerate scope and initialize the unresolvable / non_critical_rounds / fix_log state (Step 1 of the guide)
  3. Run the four dimensions in sequence — review, test, debt, audit — each scanning, classifying, applying Safe + Extended-Safe fixes, and verifying via the project test command (Steps 2–5 of the guide)
  4. Iterate: re-scan modified files + same-module + static consumers; converge on a clean round, retire 3-retry failures to the unresolvable set, cap non-critical rounds at 3 (Step 6 of the guide)
  5. Aggregate residual and unresolvable items and output the Full Sweep Report (Steps 7–8 of the guide)

Mode line in report: Full Sweep

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
  • Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
  • Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
