Production Code Audit

Overview

Analyze a codebase to understand its architecture, patterns, and purpose, then produce a detailed audit report with prioritized findings. Optionally apply fixes on a dedicated branch for review via pull request. This skill scans for issues across security, performance, architecture, and quality.

Safety & Workflow

Important: This skill operates in two modes: 1. Audit mode (default): Read-only scan that produces a report. No files are modified. 2. Fix mode: When the user explicitly requests fixes, create a new branch (e.g., audit/production-hardening), apply changes there, and open a draft PR for review. Never push directly to main. Secrets handling: If hardcoded secrets are discovered, flag them in the report with file and line number. Do NOT remove or commit secrets. Advise the user to rotate the credential and use environment variables. Never log or exfiltrate secret values. Test execution: Only run tests in a sandboxed or CI environment. Ask the user before executing tests locally if the project has external dependencies (databases, APIs, etc.).

When to Use This Skill

• Use when user says "audit my codebase" or "make this production-ready"
• Use when preparing for production deployment
• Use when code needs to meet corporate/enterprise standards

How It Works

Step 1: Codebase Discovery

Scan and understand the codebase:

1. Read source files - Scan project files (respect .gitignore, skip node_modules/vendor/dist)
2. Identify tech stack - Detect languages, frameworks, databases, tools
3. Understand architecture - Map out structure, patterns, dependencies
4. Identify purpose - Understand what the application does
5. Find entry points - Locate main files, routes, controllers
6. Map data flow - Understand how data moves through the system

Step 2: Comprehensive Issue Detection

Scan line-by-line for all issues:

Architecture Issues:

• Circular dependencies
• Tight coupling
• God classes (>500 lines or >20 methods)
• Missing separation of concerns
• Poor module boundaries
• Violation of design patterns

Security Vulnerabilities:

• SQL injection (string concatenation in queries)
• XSS vulnerabilities (unescaped output)
• Hardcoded secrets (API keys, passwords in code)
• Missing authentication/authorization
• Weak password hashing (MD5, SHA1)
• Missing input validation
• CSRF vulnerabilities
• Insecure dependencies

Performance Problems:

• N+1 query problems
• Missing database indexes
• Synchronous operations that should be async
• Missing caching
• Inefficient algorithms (O(n²) or worse)
• Large bundle sizes
• Unoptimized images
• Memory leaks

Code Quality Issues:

• High cyclomatic complexity (>10)
• Code duplication
• Magic numbers
• Poor naming conventions
• Missing error handling
• Inconsistent formatting
• Dead code
• TODO/FIXME comments

Testing Gaps:

• Missing tests for critical paths
• Low test coverage (<80%)
• No edge case testing
• Flaky tests
• Missing integration tests

Production Readiness:

• Missing environment variables
• No logging/monitoring
• No error tracking
• Missing health checks
• Incomplete documentation
• No CI/CD pipeline

Step 3: Fixes and Optimizations (Fix Mode Only)

When the user explicitly requests fixes, apply them on a new branch:

git checkout -b audit/production-hardening

1. Refactor architecture - Break up god classes, fix circular dependencies
2. Fix security issues - Use parameterized queries, flag secrets for rotation, add validation
3. Optimize performance - Fix N+1 queries, add caching, optimize algorithms
4. Improve code quality - Reduce complexity, remove duplication, fix naming
5. Add missing tests - Write tests for untested critical paths
6. Add production infrastructure - Logging, monitoring, health checks
7. Optimize everything - Bundle size, images, database queries
8. Add documentation - README, API docs, architecture docs

Step 4: Verify and Report

After making all changes:

1. Run all tests to ensure nothing broke
2. Verify all security issues are fixed
3. Measure performance improvements
4. Generate comprehensive report
5. Provide before/after metrics

Best Practices

✅ Do This

• Scan Everything - Read all files, understand entire codebase
• Fix Automatically - Don't just report, actually fix issues
• Prioritize Critical - Security and data loss issues first
• Measure Impact - Show before/after metrics
• Verify Changes - Run tests after making changes
• Be Comprehensive - Cover architecture, security, performance, testing
• Optimize Everything - Bundle size, queries, algorithms, images
• Add Infrastructure - Logging, monitoring, error tracking
• Document Changes - Explain what was fixed and why

❌ Don't Do This

• Don't Ask Questions - Understand the codebase autonomously
• Don't Wait for Instructions - Scan and fix automatically
• Don't Report Only - Actually make the fixes
• Don't Skip Files - Scan every file in the project
• Don't Ignore Context - Understand what the code does
• Don't Break Things - Verify tests pass after changes
• Don't Be Partial - Fix all issues, not just some

Autonomous Scanning Instructions

When this skill is invoked, automatically:

1. Discover the codebase:

- Use listDirectory to find all files recursively - Use readFile to read every source file - Identify tech stack from package.json, requirements.txt, etc. - Map out architecture and structure

1. Scan line-by-line for issues:

- Check every line for security vulnerabilities - Identify performance bottlenecks - Find code quality issues - Detect architectural problems - Find missing tests

1. Fix everything automatically:

- Use strReplace to fix issues in files - Add missing files (tests, configs, docs) - Refactor problematic code - Add production infrastructure - Optimize performance

1. Verify and report:

- Run tests to ensure nothing broke - Measure improvements - Generate comprehensive report - Show before/after metrics

Do all of this without asking the user for input.

Common Pitfalls

Problem: Too Many Issues

Symptoms: Team paralyzed by 200+ issues Solution: Focus on critical/high priority only, create sprints

Problem: False Positives

Symptoms: Flagging non-issues Solution: Understand context, verify manually, ask developers

Problem: No Follow-Up

Symptoms: Audit report ignored Solution: Create GitHub issues, assign owners, track in standups
