Code Cleanup

Scans a repo for nine kinds of technical debt and produces a prioritized, effort-estimated cleanup report with optional safe auto-fixes.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 419⑂ 44AI score 9/10Last updated: Sep 9, 2026

What it does

  • Scans for nine technical-debt categories: stale TODO/FIXME/HACK comments, unused imports, dead code, missing type hints, deprecated functions, naming inconsistencies, high complexity, duplicate code, and missing docstrings.
  • Uses git blame to age every TODO, so 90+ day items surface above yesterday's notes.
  • Buckets findings into Quick Wins / Important / Polish, with per-item and per-tier time estimates.
  • Emits a Markdown report with exact file:line references, three lines of context, and ready-to-run fix commands.
  • Defaults to read-only; only with explicit approval does it run safe fixes (ruff check --fix, goimports -w, gofmt), validate with the test suite, and roll back via git checkout . on failure.

Who it's for

  • Python and Go developers who want a repeatable technical-debt audit.
  • Tech leads sizing a refactor sprint who need concrete hour estimates.
  • Anyone inheriting a legacy repo and needing a fast quality snapshot.

Examples

  1. Focused cleanup — "Clean up the API handlers in src/api/" → scoped scan reporting 5 auto-fixable unused imports and 2 TODOs older than 90 days.
  2. Broad debt scan — "What's the state of technical debt here?" → 47 findings grouped into 12 Quick Wins (2h), 8 Important (6h), 27 Polish (4h).
  3. Auto-fix run — "Remove all unused imports and sort them" → checks ruff availability, scans F401/I001 only, reports 23 hits across 8 files, applies fixes after confirmation, runs tests, shows the diff.
