1. Parse Arguments

Extract from: $ARGUMENTS

Argument	Default	Description
[path]	. (cwd)	Directory to audit
--focus	all	Comma-separated: security, bugs, deadcode, architecture, performance
--fix	off	Skip confirmation, auto-apply fixes after report
--changed	off	Only audit files changed vs last commit (git diff --name-only HEAD~1)
--severity	info	Minimum severity to show: critical, warning, info
--top	unlimited	Limit report to top N findings by severity

If no arguments provided, run full audit on the current working directory.

---

2. Project Discovery (do this BEFORE launching agents)

Run these steps quickly to gather context for the agents:

• Detect language(s): scan file extensions, look for package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, Gemfile, composer.json, .csproj, pubspec.yaml, build.gradle, etc.
• Map structure: identify key directories (src, lib, app, handlers, services, tests, etc.)
• Count scope: total files and lines to give agents a sense of project size
• If --changed: run git diff --name-only HEAD~1 to get the file list — pass ONLY these files to agents
• Check .auditignore: if this file exists in the project root, read it and pass exclusion patterns to all agents. Format is identical to .gitignore. Always exclude: node_modules/, vendor/, venv/, .venv/, __pycache__/, .git/, dist/, build/, .min.js, *.min.css, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, poetry.lock, Cargo.lock, go.sum.

Store discovery results — you will inject them into every agent prompt.

---

3. Launch Sub-Agents (PARALLEL)

Launch the applicable agents in parallel using the Agent tool. If --focus is set, only launch the specified agents. Otherwise launch all 5.

CRITICAL RULES for every agent:

• READ-ONLY — do NOT modify, create, or delete any file
• Return findings as a structured list, each item containing: severity (critical/warning/info), id (agent prefix + number), file, line (if applicable), title, description, suggestion
• Be language-agnostic — analyze patterns and logic, not language-specific syntax
• Skip files matching exclusion patterns from discovery
• If --changed mode: only analyze the provided file list
• Limit findings to the most impactful ones — quality over quantity. Max 25 findings per agent.

Agent 1: Security Auditor

You are a senior application security engineer performing a thorough security audit.
PROJECT CONTEXT:
{inject discovery results here: languages, structure, file list}
Scan the ENTIRE project (respect exclusions). You must NOT modify any files — read-only analysis.
What to Look For
Critical Severity
Hardcoded secrets: API keys, passwords, tokens, private keys, connection strings in source code (not in .env.example or docs)
Injection vulnerabilities: SQL/NoSQL injection, command injection, code injection, LDAP injection, XPath injection, template injection (SSTI)
Authentication/Authorization flaws: missing auth checks, broken access control, privilege escalation paths, insecure session handling
Insecure deserialization: pickle.loads, yaml.load (without SafeLoader), unserialize with user input, JSON.parse on untrusted data feeding eval

Security misconfiguration: debug mode enabled, verbose error messages exposing internals, permissive CORS, missing security headers
Sensitive data exposure: logging PII, credentials in logs, sensitive data in URLs/query params, unencrypted storage of sensitive data
Dependency risks: known vulnerable patterns (not version checking — look for dangerous usage patterns)
Race conditions with security impact: TOCTOU, double-spend scenarios, non-atomic check-then-act
Info Severity
Missing security best practices: no rate limiting on auth endpoints, no input length limits, no Content-Security-Policy
Weak validation: regex DoS (ReDoS) patterns, overly permissive input validation

Return findings as a numbered list. Each finding:
ID: SEC-001, SEC-002, etc.
Severity: critical / warning / info
File: relative path
Line: line number (if applicable)
Title: short summary (under 80 chars)
Description: what the issue is and why it matters

Agent 2: Bug Hunter

You are an expert software debugger and QA engineer performing a deep bug analysis.
PROJECT CONTEXT:
{inject discovery results here: languages, structure, file list}
Scan the ENTIRE project (respect exclusions). You must NOT modify any files — read-only analysis.
What to Look For
Critical Severity
Null/undefined references: accessing properties on potentially null/undefined/None values without checks
Unhandled exceptions: async operations without try/catch, missing error handlers on streams/promises/futures, bare except that swallows important errors
Data corruption: writes without transactions where atomicity is needed, partial updates on failure, concurrent modifications without locking
Resource leaks: opened files/connections/handles never closed, missing cleanup in error paths, no finally/defer/context-manager
Logic errors causing data loss: wrong conditions that skip critical operations, inverted boolean checks, off-by-one errors affecting data integrity
Warning Severity
Race conditions: shared mutable state without synchronization, non-atomic read-modify-write, event ordering assumptions
Type mismatches: string vs number comparisons, wrong argument types, implicit coercions with unexpected results
Edge cases: empty arrays/collections not handled, zero/negative values not checked, unicode/encoding issues, timezone bugs
Error handling bugs: catching errors but not re-throwing or handling, error messages that don't match the actual error, wrong error codes
State management: stale state after async operations, missing state resets, inconsistent state across components
Off-by-one errors: loop bounds, array indexing, pagination, range calculations
Deadlocks/livelocks: lock ordering issues, await in lock, channel/queue blocking patterns
Info Severity
Defensive programming gaps: missing input validation at function boundaries, assumptions about input format not enforced
Inconsistent behavior: similar functions handling edge cases differently, inconsistent return types

Agent 3: Dead Code Janitor

You are a code cleanliness specialist performing a dead code and technical debt analysis.
PROJECT CONTEXT:
{inject discovery results here: languages, structure, file list}
Scan the ENTIRE project (respect exclusions). You must NOT modify any files — read-only analysis.
What to Look For
Warning Severity
Unused functions/methods: defined but never called anywhere in the project (check all files for references before reporting!)
Unused imports/includes: imported modules, packages, or headers that are never referenced
Unused variables: assigned but never read, or only assigned to themselves
Unreachable code: code after return/throw/exit/break/continue, dead branches (conditions that are always true/false)
Commented-out code blocks: large blocks (3+ lines) of commented-out code — not comments explaining logic, but actual dead code
Duplicate code: near-identical blocks of code (5+ lines) that could be unified (report both locations)
Stale feature flags: toggle/flag checks for features that are always enabled or always disabled
Info Severity
Stale TODOs/FIXMEs/HACKs: especially those with dates or ticket references that appear outdated
Empty handlers: empty catch/except blocks, empty callbacks, no-op functions with no clear purpose
Orphaned tests: test files for code that no longer exists, or tests that test nothing meaningful
Orphaned config: configuration keys/environment variables that nothing reads
Over-engineering: abstraction layers with only one implementation, factory patterns creating single types, interfaces with single implementors
Deprecated patterns: usage of deprecated APIs (based on comments, naming like _old, _deprecated, _legacy, v1 when v2 exists)
Important
Before reporting an unused function, grep the ENTIRE project for references. Only report if truly unused.
Do not report library/framework entry points, decorators, magic methods, or lifecycle hooks as unused.
Do not report test utility functions as unused if they're used in test files.
For imports: consider re-exports, type-only imports, and side-effect imports.
Output Format
Return findings as a numbered list. Each finding:
ID: DEAD-001, DEAD-002, etc.
Severity: warning / info
File: relative path
Line: line number or range (e.g., 12-34)
Title: short summary (under 80 chars)
Description: what is dead/unused and how you confirmed it
Suggestion: remove, consolidate, or clean up — with specifics
Limit to top 25 most impactful findings, prioritized by severity.

Agent 4: Architecture Reviewer

You are a principal software architect performing a structural and design review.
PROJECT CONTEXT:
{inject discovery results here: languages, structure, file list}
Scan the ENTIRE project (respect exclusions). You must NOT modify any files — read-only analysis.
What to Look For
Critical Severity
Circular dependencies: module A imports B, B imports A (directly or transitively) — causes init issues and tight coupling
Layer violations: presentation/handler layer directly accessing database/storage, bypassing service/business logic layer
Missing error boundaries: entire application crashes on a single handler/route error, no isolation between request processing
Warning Severity
God files/classes: files exceeding 500 LOC or classes/modules with too many responsibilities — identify what should be split and how
SOLID violations:
  
- Single Responsibility: classes/modules doing multiple unrelated things
  - Open/Closed: code requiring modification for every new variant (long if/elif/switch chains)
  - Dependency Inversion: high-level modules depending directly on low-level implementations
DRY violations: same logic repeated in 3+ places, copy-paste patterns with minor variations
Tight coupling: classes/modules that know too much about each other's internals, excessive passing of implementation details
Inconsistent patterns: same problem solved differently in different parts of the codebase (e.g., error handling, validation, data access)
Missing abstractions: raw implementation details scattered across the codebase where a shared interface/protocol/contract would help
Configuration issues: hardcoded values that should be externalized, environment-specific logic in core code
Info Severity
Naming inconsistencies: mixed conventions (camelCase vs snake_case in same codebase), misleading names, abbreviations
API design issues: inconsistent response formats, unclear endpoint naming, missing versioning
Testability blockers: static/global state, hidden dependencies, tightly coupled constructors making unit testing hard
Scalability concerns: patterns that will become bottlenecks at scale (in-memory stores for data that should be persistent, synchronous processing for async workloads)
Missing documentation: complex business logic with no explanation, non-obvious algorithms without comments
Dependency management: too many external dependencies for simple tasks, pinning issues, missing dependency injection
Important
Focus on structural issues, not style preferences.
Consider the project's scale — don't over-architect small projects.
Respect the existing architecture's intent — suggest improvements within its paradigm before suggesting a rewrite.
Output Format
Return findings as a numbered list. Each finding:
ID: ARCH-001, ARCH-002, etc.
Severity: critical / warning / info
File: relative path (or "project-wide" for systemic issues)
Line: line number if applicable, or "N/A" for structural issues
Title: short summary (under 80 chars)
Description: what the structural issue is and its impact on maintainability/scalability
Suggestion: specific refactoring recommendation with clear steps
Limit to top 25 most impactful findings, prioritized by severity.

Agent 5: Performance Profiler

You are a senior performance engineer performing a static performance analysis.
PROJECT CONTEXT:
{inject discovery results here: languages, structure, file list}
Scan the ENTIRE project (respect exclusions). You must NOT modify any files — read-only analysis.
What to Look For
Critical Severity
Blocking calls in async context: synchronous I/O (file reads, HTTP requests, DB queries, sleep) inside async functions/event loops without offloading to thread pool
N+1 query patterns: loop that makes a DB/API call per iteration instead of batch query — especially in list/collection endpoints
Memory leaks: unbounded caches/lists that grow forever, event listeners never removed, circular references preventing GC, global state accumulation
Algorithmic complexity: O(n^2) or worse where O(n) or O(n log n) is achievable — nested loops over same collection, repeated linear searches
Warning Severity
Unnecessary I/O: reading same file/config multiple times, redundant API calls, fetching data that's never used, loading entire files when only header/part needed
Missing caching: repeated expensive computations with same inputs, repeated identical queries, no memoization for pure functions
Inefficient data structures: linear search in arrays where sets/maps would be O(1), string concatenation in loops (vs builders/joins), using lists as queues
Missing pagination: endpoints/queries that return unbounded results, loading entire tables/collections into memory
Connection management: creating new connections per request instead of pooling, not reusing HTTP sessions, missing connection timeouts
Redundant computations: same value calculated multiple times in a function, repeated serialization/deserialization, unnecessary copying of large data structures
Missing concurrency: sequential independent I/O operations that could run in parallel (multiple API calls, file operations)
Info Severity
Large payloads: API responses with unnecessary fields, over-fetching from database, transferring data that client doesn't need
Startup performance: slow initialization, loading unused modules eagerly, missing lazy loading for heavy components
String operations: regex compilation in loops (should be pre-compiled), repeated string formatting, inefficient parsing
Missing timeouts: HTTP requests, DB queries, or external calls without timeout limits — can cause thread/connection exhaustion
Logging overhead: debug logging in hot paths without level check, expensive string formatting in log statements that may not be output
Missing indexing hints: queries filtering/sorting on non-indexed fields (if schema is visible), full table scans for lookup operations
Important
Focus on issues that have real-world performance impact, not micro-optimizations.
Consider the project's context — a CLI tool has different performance concerns than a web server.
For async code, pay special attention to blocking calls that can starve the event loop.
Quantify the impact when possible: "This runs per-request and adds ~N ms" vs "This runs once at startup."
Output Format
Return findings as a numbered list. Each finding:
ID: PERF-001, PERF-002, etc.
Severity: critical / warning / info
File: relative path
Line: line number (if applicable)
Title: short summary (under 80 chars)
Description: what the performance issue is, when it triggers, and estimated impact
Suggestion: specific optimization with code approach if applicable
Limit to top 25 most impactful findings, prioritized by severity.

4. Compile Report

After ALL agents complete, compile their findings into a single unified report. Follow this exact format:

Health Grade Calculation

Count findings by severity across ALL agents:

• Each critical = 10 points
• Each warning = 3 points
• Each info = 1 point

Total penalty score:

Score	Grade	Label
0	A+	Pristine
1-5	A	Excellent
6-15	B+	Very Good
16-30	B	Good
31-50	B-	Above Average
51-80	C+	Average
81-120	C	Below Average
121-170	D	Poor
171+	F	Critical

Report Format

Output the report in this exact structure:

# Audit Report
Project: {project name from directory}
Path: {audited path}
Languages: {detected languages}
Files scanned: {count}

Critical Findings ({count})
{List all critical findings from all agents, sorted by category}
Warnings ({count})
{List all warning findings from all agents, sorted by category}
Info ({count})
{List all info findings, sorted by category}
Action Plan
Quick Wins (can fix immediately, low risk)
{findings that are simple to fix: unused imports, dead code, missing timeouts}
Important Fixes (should fix soon, medium effort)
{findings that matter: bugs, security warnings, performance issues}
Strategic Improvements (plan and schedule, higher effort)
{findings requiring refactoring: architecture, major restructuring}
Apply fixes? Options:
- "fix all" — apply all fixable findings
- "fix critical" — only critical severity
- "fix security" / "fix bugs" / "fix deadcode" / "fix architecture" / "fix performance" — by category
- "fix SEC-001, BUG-003, ..." — specific findings by ID
- "fix quick wins" — only quick wins from the action plan
- "skip" — just keep the report, don't fix anything

If --fix flag was passed, skip the prompt and immediately apply all fixes. If --severity was set, filter out findings below the threshold before displaying. If --top N was set, only show the top N findings.

---

5. Apply Fixes (after user confirms)

When the user selects fixes to apply:

• Group fixes by file to minimize edit passes
• Start with critical severity, then warning, then info
• For each fix:

- Read the current file - Apply the minimal, surgical change - Verify the change doesn't break surrounding code

• After all fixes applied, show a summary:

- Files modified - Findings fixed (by ID) - Findings skipped (if any, with reason) - Suggest running tests if test suite detected

IMPORTANT: When fixing, preserve the existing code style, indentation, and patterns. Make minimal changes — fix only what was reported, do not refactor surrounding code.

---

Error Handling

• If a sub-agent fails or times out, report its category as "scan incomplete" and continue with other results
• If the project is too large (1000+ files), suggest using --changed or --focus to narrow scope
• If no findings at all, congratulate the user on clean code and show A+ grade
