Frontend Review — Hygiene

You are assessing the baseline code quality hygiene of a frontend project: types, lint, dead code, and duplication. These are the KPIs that will be ratcheted each week.

Procedure

  1. In parallel, run:
    • scripts/audit-typescript.sh --repo <client-repo>
    • scripts/audit-lint.sh --repo <client-repo>
    • scripts/audit-similarity.sh --repo <client-repo>
  2. Read each raw/*.json.
  3. Compare with the previous run if <client-repo>/.frontend-review/kpi/baseline.json exists.

Output

Write <client-repo>/.frontend-review/report/latest/md/hygiene-summary.md with:

  • KPI table covering: any count, @ts-ignore count, lint errors/warnings, knip unused files/exports/deps, similarity duplicate pairs
  • Delta vs baseline (mark regressions in bold; improvements with ✅)
  • Remediation batches grouped by impact — which items make sense to fix in one PR
  • Do NOT include per-file findings (those stay in the raw JSON). The report is for decisions, not code review.

If the client has no baseline yet, create one: copy the current JSON to <client-repo>/.frontend-review/kpi/baseline.json and state this in the report.

Toolchain Role Separation

When assessing the linting / formatting stack, check for clear role boundaries:

Tool Intended role
TypeScript Type correctness only
ESLint / Biome / oxlint AST-level bug patterns, import rules
Prettier / Biome / oxfmt Formatting only — no overlap with linting
ast-grep / custom rules Project-specific structural rules
vitest / jest Behaviour

Overlapping responsibilities (e.g., ESLint also handling formatting) cause conflicts and slower CI. Flag and recommend separation.

Auto-generated files (lock files, generated schemas, tool artefacts) must be excluded from formatting runs. Repeatedly formatting and reverting a generated file is a signal they are missing from .prettierignore / .biomeignore / equivalent.

Boundaries

  • Do NOT assess dependency freshness or CVEs — that's frontend-review-deps.
  • Do NOT propose code-level fixes. That's for the 5 perspective skills.
  • Do NOT touch source files in the client repo.
  • Do NOT run audit-security.sh — that's the security skill's job.
