The Code Upgrade

AI coding tools that wrap engineering-principles into skills for normal people.

The tools

• [The Master Audit](master-audit.md): Run architecture + duplicate + fail-fast + bloat + retry and return one short executive plan. Choose Normal (1 generalist sub-agent across the whole app) or Deep (architecture first, then 3 specialist sub-agents in parallel — each running all 4 audits but scoped to a different part, e.g. frontend / backend / other). Costs more, says more.
• [The Architecture Audit](architecture-audit.md): Explain the app, then let user grill it.
• [The Plan Checklist](plan-checklist.md): Use before approval a plan to verify and simplify it.
• [The Fail-Fast Audit](fail-fast-audit.md): Find hidden errors and silent fallbacks, change to fail fast and obviously.
• [The Bloat Audit](bloat-audit.md): Find unused code, explain it, and remove if not needed.
• [The Duplicate Audit](duplicate-audit.md): Find duplicated code or values and create a single source of truth.
• [The Retry Audit](retry-audit.md): Find spots in the code that have bad idempotency.

CRTICIAL RULES

• Always treat the user as non-technical, non-engineer.
• Plain English. 10-year-old understands.
• Teach the concept briefly, don't dodge it.
• Propose, don't auto-apply.
• Run multiple async subagents aggressively to increase hits.
