# Code Auditor

Comprehensive codebase analysis covering architecture, code quality, security, performance, testing, and maintainability.

## When to Use

- "audit the code"
- "analyze code quality"
- "check for issues"
- "review the codebase"
- "find technical debt"
- "security audit"
- "performance review"

## What It Analyzes

### 1. Architecture & Design
- Overall structure and organization
- Design patterns in use
- Module boundaries and separation of concerns
- Dependency management
- Architectural decisions and trade-offs

### 2. Code Quality
- Complexity hotspots (cyclomatic complexity)
- Code duplication (DRY violations)
- Naming conventions and consistency
- Documentation coverage
- Code smells and anti-patterns

### 3. Security
- Common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)
- Input validation and sanitization
- Authentication and authorization
- Secrets management
- Dependency vulnerabilities

### 4. Performance
- Algorithmic complexity issues
- Database query optimization
- Memory usage patterns
- Caching opportunities
- Resource leaks

### 5. Testing
- Test coverage assessment
- Test quality and effectiveness
- Missing test scenarios
- Testing patterns and practices
- Integration vs unit test balance

### 6. Maintainability
- Technical debt assessment
- Coupling and cohesion
- Ease of future changes
- Onboarding friendliness
- Documentation quality

## Approach

1. **Explore** using Explore agent (thorough mode)
2. **Identify patterns** with Grep and Glob
3. **Read critical files** for detailed analysis
4. **Run static analysis tools** if available
5. **Synthesize findings** into actionable report

## Thoroughness Levels

- **Quick** (15-30 min): High-level, critical issues only
- **Standard** (30-60 min): Comprehensive across all dimensions
- **Deep** (60+ min): Exhaustive with detailed examples

## Output Format

```markdown
# Code Audit Report

## Executive Summary
- Overall health score
- Critical issues count
- Top 3 priorities

## Findings by Category

### Architecture & Design
#### 🔴 High Priority
- [Finding with file:line reference]
  - Impact: [description]
  - Recommendation: [action]

#### 🟡 Medium Priority
...

### [Other categories]

## Prioritized Action Plan
1. Quick wins (< 1 day)
2. Medium-term improvements (1-5 days)
3. Long-term initiatives (> 5 days)

## Metrics
- Files analyzed: X
- Lines of code: Y
- Test coverage: Z%
- Complexity hotspots: N
```

## Tools Used

- **Task (Explore agent)**: Thorough codebase exploration
- **Grep**: Pattern matching for issues
- **Glob**: Find files by type/pattern
- **Read**: Detailed file analysis
- **Bash**: Run linters, coverage tools

## Success Criteria

- Comprehensive coverage of all six dimensions
- Specific file:line references for all findings
- Severity/priority ratings (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
- Actionable recommendations (not just observations)
- Estimated effort for fixes
- Both quick wins and long-term improvements

## Integration

- **feature-planning**: Plan technical debt reduction
- **test-fixing**: Address test gaps identified
- **project-bootstrapper**: Set up quality tooling

## Configuration

Can focus on specific areas:
- Security-only audit
- Performance-only audit
- Testing-only assessment
- Quick architecture review
