verification-before-completion · obra
Enforces running verification commands and confirming output before claiming work is complete, fixed, or passing, to prevent false success claims.

▌
dead-code · tinh2
Finds and safely removes dead code across a codebase: unreachable paths, unused exports, functions, variables, CSS selectors, dependencies, env vars, and commented-out blocks. Builds an import graph, verifies no dynamic references, and runs build and tests after cleanup.

▌
flow-quick · pwdev-solucoes bundle
Delivers a small, bounded code change through inspection, a mini-plan, implementation, testing, review, and adversarial verification. Use for bug fixes, configuration changes, and features expected to touch no more than five files.

▌
flow-simplify · pwdev-solucoes bundle
Analyzes a completed phase diff for high-confidence behavior-preserving simplifications and applies only explicitly approved proposals, reducing duplication, dead code, needless complexity, or avoidable inefficiency.

▌
tidy · sdiamante13 bundle
Refactors production code with test coverage using a TDD workflow that applies approved refactorings one at a time, gates each on passing tests, and commits or reverts accordingly.

7
repo stars
▌
sweep · sdiamante13
Reviews a codebase for structural smells and refactors them with provable safety, using micro commits and green-bar discipline.

7
repo stars
▌
dry · sdiamante13
Refactors duplicated code by extracting helper methods, shared abstractions, or reusable structures, with automated testing and commits after each extraction.
