Exhaustive Systems Analysis

Systematic audit methodology for rooting out latent issues in codebases, particularly agent-written code that needs verification before production use.

Core Principles

1. Subsystem isolation — Analyze each subsystem separately to prevent context pollution
2. Evidence-based findings — Every issue must cite specific code locations
3. Severity-driven prioritization — Critical issues first, cosmetic issues last
4. Assume all issues will be fixed — Don't hedge; be direct about what's wrong

Workflow

Phase 1: System Decomposition

Before analysis, map the system's subsystems. Auto-discover by:
