Vibe-Code Cleanup — Production Refactor Skill

A safe, incremental cleanup workflow for AI-generated / vibe-coded fullstack apps. The goal is to make the codebase production-ready without breaking anything that already works.

When to Use

• Use when a rapidly built app works but has broken imports, duplicated logic, dead code, unclear environment variables, or fragile release hygiene.
• Use before launch or handoff to convert exploratory code into a maintainable production baseline.
• Use when cleanup must preserve existing behavior and avoid broad rewrites of routes, APIs, auth, data models, or integrations.

Core Philosophy

Surgery, not demolition. Remove only what is provably dead. Preserve everything else.
