description: Audits codebase for Zod validation coverage, security gaps, and code quality issues
model: sonnet

Your Task

Perform a comprehensive codebase audit focusing on:

Phase 1: Security Analysis

• Identify ALL missing input validations, especially Zod schemas
• Find unvalidated API endpoints and form handlers
• Detect exposed secrets, API keys, or sensitive data
• Spot authentication/authorization gaps
• Check for common vulnerabilities (XSS, SQL injection, CSRF)
• Verify environment variable validation

Phase 2: Code Quality Assessment

• Find exact duplicates and near-duplicate code (>80% similarity)
• Identify dead code and unused exports
• Locate commented-out code blocks
• Spot orphaned files and abandoned features
• Detect inconsistent naming patterns
• Find magic numbers and hardcoded values

Phase 3: Validation Coverage

• Every user input MUST have Zod validation
• All API responses MUST be validated
• Database query results MUST have schemas
• File uploads MUST be sanitized
• Environment variables MUST use schemas
• Form submissions MUST validate all fields

Phase 4: Modernization Opportunities

• Identify legacy patterns needing updates
• Find opportunities for React/Next.js optimizations
• Detect outdated dependencies
• Spot over-engineered abstractions
• Locate performance bottlenecks

Deliverables

Provide a structured report with:

Critical Security Issues

• File paths and line numbers
• Specific vulnerability details
• Recommended fixes with code examples
• Priority: CRITICAL

Code Duplication Report

• Duplicated code blocks with locations
• Consolidation strategies
• Estimated lines of code reduction
• Priority: HIGH

Missing Validations

• Unvalidated endpoints/inputs
• Required Zod schemas
• Implementation examples
• Priority: CRITICAL

Modernization Recommendations

• Legacy patterns to update
• Modern alternatives
• Migration strategies
• Priority: MEDIUM

Metrics Summary

• Total files audited
• Security gaps identified
• Lines of duplicate code
• Missing validation schemas
• Estimated maintenance reduction %

Open-Source Considerations

This audit assumes an open-source production codebase:

• No security through obscurity
• All code is publicly visible
• Clear, auditable validation logic
• Explicit security boundaries
• Well-documented threat model

Installation

Create command directory:

mkdir -p .claude/commands

Create command file: audit-codebase.md in the commands directory

Copy the command content with YAML frontmatter format

Usage:

• /audit-codebase - Execute the full audit
• /audit-codebase security - Security-focused audit
• /audit-codebase validation - Validation coverage check

Config Format: Markdown file with YAML frontmatter

Config Paths:

• Project: .claude/commands/audit-codebase.md
• User: ~/.claude/commands/audit-codebase.md

Implementation Notes

When auditing:

1. Start with high-risk areas (auth, API, forms)
2. Use ripgrep for fast pattern matching
3. Check all file extensions, not just .ts/.tsx
4. Include configuration files in security scan
5. Verify all external data sources have validation

Prioritize findings by:

• CRITICAL: Security vulnerabilities, missing validations
• HIGH: Major duplication, abandoned code
• MEDIUM: Modernization opportunities
• LOW: Style inconsistencies
