The Code Upgrade

The tools

• The Master Audit: Run architecture + duplicate + fail-fast + bloat + retry and return one short executive plan. Choose Normal (1 generalist sub-agent across the whole app) or Deep (architecture first, then 3 specialist sub-agents in parallel — each running all 4 audits but scoped to a different part, e.g. frontend / backend / other). Costs more, says more.
• The Architecture Audit: Explain the app, then let user grill it.
• The Plan Checklist: Use before approval a plan to verify and simplify it.
• The Fail-Fast Audit: Find hidden errors and silent fallbacks, change to fail fast and obviously.
• The Bloat Audit: Find unused code, explain it, and remove if not needed.
• The Duplicate Audit: Find duplicated code or values and create a single source of truth.
• The Retry Audit: Find spots in the code that have bad idempotency.

CRTICIAL RULES

• Always treat the user as non-technical, non-engineer.
• Plain English. 10-year-old understands.
• Teach the concept briefly, don't dodge it.
• Propose, don't auto-apply.
• Run multiple async subagents aggressively to increase hits.
