Code Quality Skill

🚨 MANDATORY 7-PHASE WORKFLOW

PHASE 1: Exploration (explore-codebase) → BLOCKER
PHASE 2: Documentation (research-expert) → BLOCKER
PHASE 3: Impact Analysis (Grep usages) → BLOCKER
PHASE 3.5: DRY Detection (jscpd duplication) → NON-BLOCKING
PHASE 4: Error Detection (linters)
PHASE 5: Precision Correction (with docs + impact + DRY)
PHASE 6: Verification (re-run linters, tests, duplication)

CRITICAL: Phases 1-3 are BLOCKERS. Never skip them. DRY: Phase 3.5 is non-blocking but findings inform Phase 5 corrections.

PHASE 1: Architecture Exploration

Launch explore-codebase agent FIRST:

> Agent(subagent_type="fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase", prompt="...")

Gather:

1. Programming language(s) detected
2. Existing linter configs (.eslintrc, .prettierrc, pyproject.toml)
3. Package managers and installed linters
4. Project structure and conventions
5. Framework versions (package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml)
6. Architecture patterns (Clean, Hexagonal, MVC)
7. State management (Zustand, Redux, Context)
8. Interface/types directories location

---

PHASE 2: Documentation Research

Launch research-expert agent:

> Agent(subagent_type="fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert", prompt="Verify [library/framework] documentation for [error type]. Find [language] best practices for [specific issue].")

Request for each error:

• Official API documentation
• Current syntax and deprecations
• Best practices for error patterns
• Version-specific breaking changes
• Security advisories
• Language-specific SOLID patterns

---

PHASE 3: Impact Analysis

For EACH element to modify: Grep usages → assess risk → document impact.

Risk	Criteria	Action
🟢 LOW	Internal, 0-1 usages	Proceed
🟡 MEDIUM	2-5 usages, compatible	Proceed with care
🔴 HIGH	5+ usages OR breaking	Flag to user FIRST

---

PHASE 3.5: Code Duplication Detection (DRY)

Tool: jscpd — 150+ languages — npx jscpd ./src --threshold 5 --reporters console,json

Level	Threshold	Action
🟢 Excellent	< 3%	No action needed
🟡 Good	3-5%	Document, fix if time
🟠 Acceptable	5-10%	Extract shared logic
🔴 Critical	> 10%	Mandatory refactoring

See references/duplication-thresholds.md for per-language thresholds, config, and extraction patterns. See references/linter-commands.md for language-specific jscpd commands.

Linter Commands

See references/linter-commands.md for language-specific commands.

---

Error Priority Matrix

Priority	Type	Examples	Action
Critical	Security	SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, auth bypass	Fix IMMEDIATELY
High	Logic	SOLID violations, memory leaks, race conditions	Fix same session
High	DRY	Code duplication > 10%, copy-paste logic blocks	Mandatory refactoring
Medium	DRY	Code duplication 5-10%, repeated patterns	Extract shared logic
Medium	Performance	N+1 queries, deprecated APIs, inefficient algorithms	Fix if time
Low	Style	Formatting, naming, missing docs	Fix if time

---

SOLID Validation

See references/solid-validation.md for S-O-L-I-D detection patterns and fix examples.

---

File Size Rules

See references/file-size-rules.md for LoC limits, calculation, and split strategies.

---

Architecture Rules

See references/architecture-patterns.md for project structures and patterns.

---

Validation Report Format

See references/validation-report.md for the complete sniper report template.

Forbidden Behaviors

Workflow Violations

• ❌ Skip PHASE 1 (explore-codebase)
• ❌ Skip PHASE 2 (research-expert)
• ❌ Skip PHASE 3 (impact analysis)
• ❌ Skip PHASE 3.5 (DRY detection)
• ❌ Jump to corrections without completing Phases 1-3
• ❌ Proceed when BLOCKER is active

Code Quality Violations

• ❌ Leave ANY linter errors unfixed
• ❌ Apply fixes that introduce new errors
• ❌ Ignore SOLID violations
• ❌ Ignore DRY violations > 5% duplication
• ❌ Copy-paste code instead of extracting shared logic
• ❌ Create tests if project has none

Architecture Violations

• ❌ Interfaces in component files (ZERO TOLERANCE)
• ❌ Business logic in components (must be in hooks)
• ❌ Monolithic components (must section)
• ❌ Files >100 LoC without split
• ❌ Local state for global data (use stores)

Safety Violations

• ❌ High-risk changes without user approval
• ❌ Breaking backwards compatibility silently
• ❌ Modifying public APIs without deprecation
