Pay down accumulated lint and type-checker debt across the repo — existing warnings,
errors, and suppressions that built up over time — in safe waves, by rule, with tests green
after each. The goal is a genuinely clean lint + typecheck, not a quieter one.

| Ecosystem | Lint debt | Type debt |
|---|---|---|
| JS/TS | eslint . (full report, by rule) | tsc --noEmit |
| Python | ruff check / flake8 | mypy / pyright |
| Go | golangci-lint run | go vet ./..., staticcheck |
Also inventory suppressions as debt in their own right: eslint-disable*,
@ts-ignore/@ts-expect-error, # type: ignore, # noqa, //nolint. Each is a hidden
violation. Count violations grouped by rule (not by file) — that's how you wave them.
| Wave | Class | Default |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | autofixable lint (eslint --fix, ruff --fix, gofmt) | fix now — mechanical, safe |
| 2 | manual lint by rule, low behavioral risk (unused, style, imports) | fix this pass, one rule at a time |
| 3 | type errors, and lint rules that can change behavior if "fixed" wrong | gated — review each, may need real logic |
| 4 | removing suppressions (@ts-ignore etc.) | gated — each may surface a real bug |
Fix one rule across the repo per wave, not one file across all rules — keeps diffs reviewable and regressions bisectable. Config tightening (enable rule / raise strictness) is itself a finding: propose it, then clear what it surfaces.

The goal is a genuinely clean `lint` + `typecheck`, not a quieter one. Runs the shared engine in **`references/health-engine.md`** — read it for the DETECT → SCAN → TRIAGE → FIX → VERIFY → REPORT loop and the safety contract. This file covers only what's specific to lint/type debt. --- ## When to use - "Fix our lint warnings", "clean up the type errors", "get the codebase to strict mode". - Tightening config (enable a rule, raise `tsconfig` strictness) and clearing the fallout. - Burning down accumulated `eslint-disable` / `@ts-ignore` / `# type: ignore` suppressions. **`debt` vs `simplify`:** `simplify` improves *your working diff's* quality. `debt` clears **pre-existing repo-wide** lint/type violations on green `main`. Use `debt` for standing cleanup, not for changes you're actively making. --- ## What it scans | Ecosystem | Lint debt | Type debt | |---|---|---| | JS/TS | `eslint .` (full report, by rule) | `tsc --noEmit` | | Python | `ruff check` / `flake8` | `mypy` / `pyright` | | Go | `golangci-lint run` | `go vet ./...`, `staticcheck` | Also inventory **suppressions** as debt in their own right: `eslint-disable*`, `@ts-ignore`/`@ts-expect-error`, `# type: ignore`, `# noqa`, `//nolint`. Each is a hidden violation. Count violations grouped **by rule** (not by file) — that's how you wave them. --- ## Risk ranking (TRIAGE) | Wave | Class | Default | |---|---|---| | 1 | autofixable lint (`eslint --fix`, `ruff --fix`, `gofmt`) | fix now — mechanical, safe | | 2 | manual lint by rule, low behavioral risk (unused, style, imports) | fix this pass, one rule at a time | | 3 | type errors, and lint rules that can change behavior if "fixed" wrong | gated — review each, may need real logic | | 4 | removing suppressions (`@ts-ignore` etc.) | gated — each may surface a real bug | Fix **one rule across the repo per wave**, not one file across all rules — keeps diffs reviewable and regressions bisectable. Config tightening (enable rule / raise strictness) is itself a finding: propose it, then clear what it surfaces. --- ## Fix & verify - Run the autofixers first (wave 1), commit-ready, then re-scan to see what's truly manual. - Manual fixes: address the *cause*, not the symptom. A type error means the types are wrong somewhere — fix the type, don't cast to `any`/add `# type: ignore`. - **Never** clear a violation by suppressing it. Removing suppressions is the *goal*, not a tool. - After each wave: full test + lint + typecheck + build. The violation count must drop and nothing regress. --- ## Gotchas 1. **Fixing by suppressing.** `@ts-ignore` to clear a type error *adds* debt. Forbidden here. 2. **`any` / `cast` to win.** Silences the checker, keeps the bug. Fix the real type. 3. **One-file-all-rules waves.** Mixes concerns, unreviewable. Go one-rule-all-files. 4. **Autofix without review.** `--fix` can change behavior (e.g. `prefer-const` on a reassigned var via a bug). Run tests after autofix too. 5. **Disabling the rule instead of fixing.** Loosening config to hit zero is debt laundering, not paydown. --- ## Companion commands - **`/absolute simplify`** — quality of code you're *currently changing*. - **`/absolute prune`** — many unused-var/import warnings vanish once dead code is pruned. - **`/absolute work`** — if clearing the debt needs real refactoring, hand off.
