Codebase Zero · chisanan232 bundle Audit whether an artifact that already exists in a codebase still deserves to exist, and reach an evidence-backed verdict before changing anything. Use when asked to review, audit, clean up, simplify, or find removable scope in existing code — modules, abstractions, compatibility layers, dependencies, feature flags, config, endpoints, jobs, caches, tests, CI, or docs — or when deciding whether an existing subsystem should be deleted, consolidated, or invested in further. Reaches one verdict per artifact: DELETE, CONSOLIDATE, SIMPLIFY, DEFER CLEANUP, KEEP, or INVEST. Audits and recommends; it does not delete code on its own authority. Do not use for bug fixes, code review of a change in progress, work whose removal has already been decided and only needs carrying out, or deciding whether to build something new — that last one is requirement-zero. Already-decided removals still get audited when the target is a security, safety, privacy, data-integrity, legal, compliance, or compatibility control.
