Delegate to Code Janitor
When you encounter repetitive, mechanical code tasks, launch the code-janitor agent instead of doing the work yourself to preserve context.
Delegate When:
- Fixing multiple linting errors across files
- Renaming variables/functions consistently across codebase
- Updating import statements in multiple files
- Fixing formatting or style violations throughout project
- Resolving IDE diagnostics in batch
- Bulk refactoring that doesn't require design decisions
Keep in Main When:
- Task requires architectural decisions
- Single file with 1-2 changes
- User explicitly wants you to do it
How:
Use Task tool with subagent_type: "essentials:code-janitor" providing task description and scope.
The code-janitor agent uses TodoWrite to track work, iterates until complete, and verifies with linters.
