No comments

Spawn the comment-sicko agent. Act on accepted findings. Run this before thermos, not after.

Defer to the agent's fresh perspective.

Scope

Use the caller's files or diff. Otherwise use the current diff against the base branch, default main, including the working tree.

Steps

1. Spawn the task tool with agent: "comment-sicko", the scope, and a solutionSpace like "one pass, deletions and kill flags only". Do not restate its rules. The agent is read-only and reports comments to delete with file:line, so apply the accepted deletions yourself.
2. Inspect its report and diff. Reject application-code edits, scope escapes, exception-protected deletions, misstated MUST KILL reasons, and flags that treat kept intentional code as guilty. Reshape flags on our-code surprises stay actionable. Do not restore those comments. A keep survives only with proof it is about something we cannot change. Audit missed scoped lint and TypeScript suppressions. Correctness or safety suppressions stay actionable MUST KILLs. Restore deletions only with exact exceptions and scoped proof. Before accepting thin IMPORTANT or do not remove kills or keeps, run the how or why skill on their symbol. If a kill is ambiguous, do not restore. If a keep is refuted or still ambiguous, delete it. Revert and rerun one rejected report with the failure named. Reject a second, report it open, and fail no-comments.
3. Fix trivial accepted flags directly by deleting a dead path, dropping a parameter, or using the real API. If any fix needs a shape, run the architect skill once for the accepted set and surrounding code. Stop at the sketch. Architect shapes. Step 4 implements.
4. Implement the smallest root-cause fix in scope. Remove every named workaround. If the root cause is out of scope, land the smallest in-scope fix and report the rest open. The principle-fix-root-causes and principle-redesign-from-first-principles skills guide intent only. Neither authorizes widening the fence nor fixing instances outside it. Never bolt on symptom guards.
5. Constraint comments say do not remove, do not change wording, or talk to X before changing. Leave keeps about things we cannot change. Offer the cheapest in-scope type, runtime, test, or CI lint. Wait for interactive approval. Unattended and eval require caller pre-approval. If approved, encode then delete. Otherwise delete, report the constraint open, and sketch out-of-scope work.
6. Report the deletion count, restored comments, reruns, architect sketch, fixes, encoding offers, encodings, unenforced constraints, and other open work.
