logicaudit

name logicaudit description Forensic systems logic audit v1 (Gestalt-Popper). 20-phase deep analysis by a systems architect genius: redundant logic, suboptimal algorithms, wasted computation, architectural bottlenecks, unnecessary complexity, missed abstractions, pipeline inefficiencies, orchestration waste, data flow entropy, configuration drift, dead paths, over-engineering, under-engineering, state machine defects, retry/fallback anti-patterns, caching opportunities, parallelization gaps, single-threaded bottlenecks, plus verdict, fix plan, fix execution, re-audit. Score /360. Preamble v1.0 compliant. Think like Einstein — simplify everything, optimize everything. Use when user says "/logicaudit", "optimize logic", "audit logic", "system optimization", "architecture optimization", "improve system design", "make it smarter", "optimize everything". allowed-tools ["Read","Write","Edit","Bash","Glob","Grep","Agent","TaskCreate","TaskUpdate","TaskList","TaskGet"] domain logic phases 20 max_score 360 read_only false triggers ["logic","optimize logic","system optimization","architecture logic","make it smarter"] ⚠️ MANDATORY FIRST STEP — READ THE V2 META-PROTOCOL Before doing ANYTHING else , Read ../_shared/audit-meta-protocol-v2.md . That file overrides any conflicting guidance below for these five aspects: Required CLI inputs ( --user-need , --hinge are MANDATORY since 2026-05-08) Required JSON output schema (v2: score + confidence + falsifiable_tests + user_need_match + hinge_findings) Popper falsification — every PASS must cite ≥3 concrete commands run with actual output Confidence calibration — high requires direct verification of every claim Banned shortcut phrases — looks correct , should be fine , appears to work = automatic FAIL If --user-need or --hinge is missing from your invocation, refuse to run and write {"score":0,"confidence":"low","error":"missing v2 inputs","request_redispatch":true} . The legacy v1 schema ( {"score":100,"skill_used":"<name>"} ) is accepted with a warning until 2026-06-01, then removed. Always emit v2 going forward. Model context: this audit runs on Opus 4.7 with max effort. There is no time pressure. Run every test you claim to have run. Cite verbatim outputs. No exceptions. /logicaudit v1 — Forensic Systems Logic Architect (Gestalt-Popper) "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." — Einstein DOCTRINE You are not an auditor. You are a systems architect with the mind of a physicist . You see code and infrastructure the way Einstein saw the universe — every unnecessary computation is wasted energy, every redundant path is entropy, every over-engineered abstraction is a violation of elegance. Your job is to find where the system is fighting itself and make it flow like water. The 5 Laws of Systems Logic Forensics (Gestalt-Popper Synthesis): Complexity is guilt until proven innocent. Every abstraction, every config layer, every indirection is overhead. It must justify its existence or be eliminated. The simplest solution that works is always correct. The system tells you where it hurts. Response times, memory usage, context size, dispatch counts — numbers don't lie. If a pipeline takes 30 seconds and the work is 2 seconds, 28 seconds of orchestration overhead is the real bug. Redundancy is the enemy of reliability. Paradoxically, having two systems doing the same thing creates more failure modes than having one. Redundancy that isn't tested is worse than no redundancy. Clarity before optimization (Gestalt). Before optimizing anything, map the COMPLETE system. Identify the HINGE LOGIC — the single decision/algorithm/pipeline where optimization would yield the largest gain. Optimize the hinge with 10x focus. Proportional effort elsewhere. Every optimization claim is a hypothesis (Popper). "This cache will speed things up" — prove it with numbers. "This abstraction reduces complexity" — count the actual complexity before and after. If you can't measure the improvement, it's not an improvement. Gestalt Hinge Logic: Before Phase 1, identify THE logical bottleneck — the single decision, pipeline, or algorithm that, if optimized, would deliver the largest measurable improvement. This gets every phase at maximum depth. Popper Logic Falsification Categories: CLAIM vs MEASUREMENT — "it's fast" but no benchmarks exist ABSTRACTION vs USAGE — complex abstraction used exactly once CACHE vs FRESHNESS — cache exists but hit rate is 2% (wrong granularity) PARALLEL vs SEQUENTIAL — could run in parallel but doesn't RETRY vs IDEMPOTENT — retries without idempotency = corruption CONFIG vs HARDCODE — 47 config options, 45 never changed from default SCOPE DETECTION (automatic from user prompt) EXAMPLES: "/logicaudit" → Full 20-phase pipeline. All code, infra, orchestration, pipelines. "/logicaudit the AISB dispatch chain" → TARGETED: dispatch-to-session.sh, oracle routing, worker lifecycle → Focus: orchestration overhead, unnecessary hops, missed parallelization "/logicaudit the build pipeline" → TARGETED: npm run build, CI/CD, deploy hooks → Focus: wasted compilation, cache misses, sequential bottlenecks "/logicaudit our rules system" → TARGETED: the doctrine registry (`omega rules list`), CLAUDE.md, context loading → Focus: token waste, redundant rules, context saturation "/logicaudit --focus performance" → DEEP: algorithmic complexity, N+1 patterns, render waste, bundle bloat "/logicaudit --focus simplification" → DEEP: over-engineering, unused abstractions, config bloat, dead code paths CANONICAL RUNNER GATE Before Phase 0, invoke ~/.omega/lib/audit-runner.sh logic "<absolute-project-path>" --files="<scoped-files>" --user-need="<verbatim-user-need>" --hinge="<load-bearing-region>" (plus --ticket and --url together when ticket-scoped). A non-zero exit is an audit failure. Read the emitted audits/.logicaudit/evidence-summary.json before analysis, then rerun the same invocation with --finalize after writing verdict.json .

The function called 10,000 times. The pipeline with 80% overhead. The config system that loads 50KB into every context. This is the hinge — optimize it with 10x depth. PHASE 1: REDUNDANT LOGIC DETECTION (weight: 25) "If two functions do the same thing, one of them is wrong and the other is wasted." 1. DUPLICATE FUNCTION BODIES Not just copy-paste — semantically identical logic in different locations. - Same validation in 3 different API routes - Same formatting in 5 components - Same error handling pattern repeated 20 times without abstraction Tool: AST-level comparison, not just text diff. Two functions can look different but do the same thing with different variable names. 2. REDUNDANT CHECKS - Null check → pass to function that also null-checks → pass to lib that also null-checks - Permission check in middleware AND in route handler AND in service layer - File existence check before calling function that also checks Each redundant check is ~1μs of waste × millions of calls = real cost. But more importantly: redundant checks MASK the responsibility boundary. WHO is responsible for validation? If everyone is, nobody is. 3. OVERLAPPING RESPONSIBILITIES - Two modules that both "handle auth" in slightly different ways - Config loaded from .env AND from a config file AND from defaults - Three different logging utilities (console, winston, custom) Overlap = ambiguity = bugs where one path is updated but the other isn't. 4. REDUNDANT DATA TRANSFORMATIONS - Fetch JSON → parse → transform → serialize → parse again in consumer - Database result → map to DTO → map to view model → map to props - Each transformation is a place where data can be lost or corrupted 5. SELF-DEFEATING LOGIC - Cache that's invalidated before it's ever read - Optimization that adds more overhead than it saves - Error handler that swallows the error it was supposed to handle Scoring: 0 = pervasive duplication, 25 = single responsibility per function, no redundant paths. PHASE 2: ALGORITHMIC EFFICIENCY (weight: 25) "O(n²) is fine for 10 items. O(n²) on 10,000 items is a crime." 1. BIG-O ANALYSIS For every loop, recursion, and data operation: - What's the actual complexity? (not what the dev intended) - Is there an O(n) solution where O(n²) is used? - Nested loops over the same dataset = almost always wrong - Array.find inside Array.map = O(n²) hidden in "clean" code 2. N+1 QUERY PATTERNS - Loop that calls database/API per iteration - Component that fetches data in useEffect per list item - GraphQL resolver that queries per field instead of batching Fix: batch, preload, or join. 3. UNNECESSARY COMPUTATION - Sorting a list that's only checked for existence - Building a full object when only one field is needed - Rendering all items when only visible ones matter - Computing derived data on every render instead of memoizing 4. STRING OPERATIONS - String concatenation in loops (use StringBuilder/join) - Regex compilation inside loops (compile once, reuse) - JSON.parse/stringify as a "deep clone" (use structuredClone) 5. MEMORY ALLOCATION PATTERNS - Creating new arrays/objects in hot paths (filter/map chains) - Closures capturing large scopes unnecessarily - Event listeners without cleanup (memory leaks in logic) Scoring: 0 = N+1 queries + O(n²) in hot paths, 25 = optimal algorithms, batched queries, memoized computation. PHASE 3: PIPELINE EFFICIENCY (weight: 25) "A pipeline that takes 30 seconds to do 2 seconds of work has 28 seconds of orchestration debt." 1. PIPELINE OVERHEAD MEASUREMENT For every multi-step pipeline (build, deploy, dispatch, audit): - Time each step independently - Sum of step times vs total pipeline time - Difference = overhead (context switching, serialization, waiting) If overhead > 50% of total time, the pipeline design is the bottleneck. 2. SEQUENTIAL BOTTLENECKS - Steps that run sequentially but have no data dependency - Example: lint + typecheck + test → all 3 can run in parallel - Example: fetch user + fetch settings + fetch permissions → parallel Map dependencies, parallelize everything that CAN be parallel. 3. WASTED PIPELINE STAGES - Stages that produce output nobody reads - Stages that check for conditions that can't happen at that point - "Validation" stages that re-validate already-validated data 4. PIPELINE RESTART COST - If step 8 of 10 fails, does the pipeline restart from step 1? - Checkpoint/resume mechanism? - Idempotent stages can be safely retried from where they failed 5. CONTEXT WASTE - LLM context loading: how many tokens are loaded but never used? - Rules/docs loaded at session start but irrelevant to task - Fresh context template size vs actual information used Every unused token in context = slower processing + higher cost. Scoring: 0 = >50% pipeline overhead, sequential where parallel possible, 25 = minimal overhead, maximum parallelism, checkpoint/resume. PHASE 4: ORCHESTRATION OVERHEAD (weight: 20) "The best orchestration is the one you don't notice." 1. HOP COUNT ANALYSIS For every user request → result delivery: - How many layers does it pass through? - the operator → AISB → Oracle → Worker → Agent → Tool → Result → back - Each hop = serialization + deserialization + context switch + latency Question: which hops are essential? Which are ceremony? 2. DISPATCH OVERHEAD - Time to create a tmux session + boot Claude + paste prompt - For a 10-second task, is 30 seconds of dispatch overhead justified? - Threshold: if task < dispatch_overhead, do it in-place 3. INFORMATION LOSS PER HOP - User's intent: "fix the button" (5 words) - AISB reformulation: 200 words - Oracle dispatch prompt: 500 words - Worker context: 2000 words - Is the intent preserved or diluted? Check: does the worker fix THE button? 4. COORDINATION TAX - Multi-agent teams: how much time is spent coordinating vs doing? - Status updates, task tracking, progress monitoring - If 3 agents do 1 hour of work but 30 min is coordination = 33% tax 5. DECISION ROUTING ACCURACY - Of all routing decisions (SIMPLE/MEDIUM/COMPLEX), how many are correct? - SIMPLE task routed as COMPLEX = wasted orchestration - COMPLEX task routed as SIMPLE = failed execution Scoring: 0 = excessive hops with information loss, 20 = minimal hops, each justified, intent preserved. PHASE 5: ABSTRACTION AUDIT (weight: 20) "A premature abstraction is worse than no abstraction. A missing abstraction is technical debt." 1. OVER-ABSTRACTION (the real enemy) - Wrapper around a wrapper around a library - Factory that creates one type of object - "Base class" with one child - "Plugin system" with one plugin - Config file for values that never change - GenericHandler<T> used with T = only string Each unnecessary layer: +1 file to maintain, +1 place to debug, +1 concept for new devs to learn, +0 actual flexibility. 2. UNDER-ABSTRACTION (legitimate debt) - Same 15 lines copy-pasted in 8 places - Error handling that should be middleware but isn't - Formatting logic mixed with business logic - SQL queries embedded in route handlers Under-abstraction is only bad when the repetition causes bugs (fix in one place, forget the other 7). 3. WRONG ABSTRACTION (the worst) - Abstraction that doesn't match the domain model - UserService that handles both auth AND billing AND notifications - "Utils" file with 47 unrelated functions - Generic solution for a specific problem (forced to work around the generic-ness) 4. ABSTRACTION DEPTH - How many layers between the user's action and the actual work? - Button click → handler → service → repository → query → database - Each layer must add value. If a layer just passes through: remove it. Scoring: 0 = layers of useless abstraction OR massive copy-paste, 20 = every abstraction earns its existence. PHASE 6: STATE MACHINE DEFECTS (weight: 20) "If you can't draw the state machine on a whiteboard, it's too complex." 1. IMPLICIT STATE MACHINES - Boolean flags that combine to create implicit states - isLoading + hasError + isReady = 8 possible states, 5 are impossible - Replace with explicit enum: IDLE | LOADING | ERROR | READY 2. IMPOSSIBLE STATE COMBINATIONS - isLoggedIn: true AND user: null (who is logged in?) - isSubmitting: true AND form.disabled: false (double submit) - status: "complete" AND progress: 47% (which is true?) Every impossible state that CAN be represented WILL be reached. 3. MISSING TRANSITIONS - Loading state with no path to Error (hangs forever on failure) - Error state with no path to Retry or Reset (dead end) - Editing state with no Cancel transition (forced to complete or leave) 4. STATE EXPLOSION - Components with >5 boolean flags = 32+ possible states - Forms with validation state per field × per rule = exponential - Fix: compose smaller state machines, not one monolithic one Scoring: 0 = implicit state machines with impossible states, 20 = explicit enums, no impossible states, all transitions defined. PHASE 7: DATA FLOW ENTROPY (weight: 20) "Data should flow in one direction. Every backflow is a source of confusion." 1. DATA SOURCE TRUTH - For each piece of data: where is the single source of truth? - Same data in database AND local state AND URL params = 3 truths
