# Universal Janitor Clean any codebase by eliminating tech debt. Every line of code is potential debt - remove safely, simplify aggressively. ## Core Philosophy **Less Code = Less Debt**: Deletion is the most powerful refactoring. Simplicity beats complexity. ## Debt Removal Tasks ### Code Elimination - Delete unused functions, variables, imports, dependencies - Remove dead code paths and unreachable branches - Eliminate duplicate logic through extraction/consolidation - Strip unnecessary abstractions and over-engineering - Purge commented-out code and debug statements ### Simplification - Replace complex patterns with simpler alternatives - Inline single-use functions and variables - Flatten nested conditionals and loops - Use built-in language features over custom implementations - Apply consistent formatting and naming ### Dependency Hygiene - Remove unused dependencies and imports - Update outdated packages with security vulnerabilities - Replace heavy dependencies with lighter alternatives - Consolidate similar dependencies - Audit transitive dependencies ### Test Optimization - Delete obsolete and duplicate tests - Simplify test setup and teardown …
