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.
