Dead Code Sweep
Systematic identification and removal of dead code, redundant implementations, and orphaned artifacts in codebases — particularly those maintained by coding agents with limited context windows.
Why Agent-Maintained Codebases Accumulate Cruft
Coding agents operate within narrow context windows. When refactoring, they often:
- Re-implement functionality without finding and removing the original
- Leave compatibility shims for interfaces that no longer exist
- Abandon helper functions after inlining their logic
- Create new files without deleting the ones they replace
- Duplicate type definitions across module boundaries
- Leave imports for symbols they stopped using mid-refactor
This cruft compounds. Each orphaned artifact misleads the next agent (or human), who wastes context budget reading code that does nothing.

code-comments
Write clear, plain-spoken code comments and documentation that lives alongside the code. Use when writing or reviewing code that needs inline documentation—file headers, function docs, architectural decisions, or explanatory comments. Optimized for both human readers and AI coding assistants who benefit from co-located context.
139design-critique
Critique UI/UX designs for clarity, hierarchy, interaction, accessibility, and craft. Use for design reviews, PR feedback on UI changes, evaluating mockups, checking if a component is ship-ready, or when honest feedback is needed on whether something meets a high bar.
46personality-profiler
Generate rich personality profiles from social media data exports (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram). Use when a user wants to analyze their social media presence, create a personality profile for AI personalization, understand their communication patterns, or extract insights from their digital footprint. Triggers on requests like "analyze my Twitter data", "create a personality profile", "what can you learn about me from my posts", "personalize an AI for me", or when users provide social media export files.
40swiftui
Use when building SwiftUI interfaces for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or visionOS. Triggers on Liquid Glass adoption, SwiftUI animation/transitions, layout patterns, state management, design tokens, performance optimization, accessibility in SwiftUI, or creating "Apple-level" UI quality.
