Code Polish

Code Polish

Combined simplification and review pipeline. This skill orchestrates two sub-skills in sequence:

1. code-simplify — simplify for readability and maintainability
2. code-review --fix — review for correctness, security, and quality, auto-applying all fixes

Optimize for one scope resolution, one user-facing report, and no redundant simplify verification.

Scope Resolution

1. Verify repository context: git rev-parse --git-dir. If this fails, stop and tell the user to run from a git repository.
2. If user provides file paths/patterns, a commit/range, or a Resolved scope fenced block with one repo-relative path per line, scope is exactly those targets.
3. Otherwise, scope is only session-modified files. Do not include other uncommitted changes.
4. If there are no session-modified files, fall back to all uncommitted tracked + untracked files:
   • tracked: git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR
   • untracked: git ls-files --others --exclude-standard
   • combine both lists and de-duplicate.
5. Exclude generated/low-signal files unless requested: lockfiles, minified bundles, build outputs, vendored code.
6. If scope still resolves to zero files, report and stop.
7. Normalize the final scope into a Resolved scope fenced block with one repo-relative path per line. Reuse that exact block for both sub-skills instead of asking them to rediscover scope.

Workflow

1) Resolve scope once

• Apply the "Scope Resolution" rules above.
• Treat the resulting Resolved scope block as authoritative for all downstream work.
• Forward user intent, constraints, and risk preferences, but do not forward raw duplicate scope selectors when the resolved block already captures them.

2) Run code-simplify

Invoke the code-simplify skill with:

• the authoritative Resolved scope block
• --no-verify
• --no-report
• any non-scope user intent that still matters

Tell code-simplify not to broaden or rediscover scope.

3) Run code-review --fix

Invoke the code-review skill with:

• the same authoritative Resolved scope block
• --fix
• any non-scope user intent that still matters

If the user explicitly asks for a speed-first pass over maintainability coverage, you may also append --skip-profile naming. Do not skip the naming profile by default.

4) Final verification

• Treat code-review's post-fix verification as the final verification summary when it already covers the final touched scope.
• If verification was skipped, partial, or no longer matches the final diff, run one narrow final verification pass across the final touched scope.
• Always report skipped checks explicitly.

5) Report

Combine the final state into one summary:

1. Scope: Files and functions touched.
2. Simplifications: Key changes from code-simplify, derived from the actual diff when needed because --no-report was used.
3. Review findings and fixes: Findings and applied fixes from code-review.
4. Verification: Commands run and outcomes.
5. Residual risks: Assumptions or items needing manual review.
