Context

  • Analysis path: $1 (defaults to current directory if not specified)

  • JS/TS files: !find . -type f ( -name ".js" -o -name ".ts" -o -name ".jsx" -o -name ".tsx" )

  • Vue files: !find . -name "*.vue"

  • Python files: !find . -name "*.py"

Your Task

Perform comprehensive anti-pattern analysis using ast-grep and parallel agent delegation.

Analysis Categories

Based on the detected languages, analyze for these categories:

JavaScript/TypeScript Anti-patterns

  • Callbacks, magic values, empty catch blocks, console.logs

  • var usage, deprecated patterns

Async/Promise Patterns

  • Unhandled promises, nested callbacks, missing error handling

  • Promise constructor anti-pattern

Framework-Specific (if detected)

  • Vue 3: Props mutation, reactivity issues, Options vs Composition API mixing

  • React: Missing deps in hooks, inline functions, prop drilling

TypeScript Quality (if .ts files present)

  • Excessive any types, non-null assertions, type safety issues

Code Complexity

  • Long functions (>50 lines), deep nesting (>4 levels), large parameter lists

Security Concerns

  • eval usage, innerHTML XSS, hardcoded secrets, injection risks

Memory & Performance

  • Event listeners without cleanup, setInterval leaks, inefficient patterns

Python Anti-patterns (if detected)

  • Mutable default arguments, bare except, global variables

Execution Strategy

CRITICAL: Use parallel agent delegation for efficiency.

Launch multiple specialized agents simultaneously:

Agent 1: Language Detection & Setup (Explore - quick)

Detect project stack, identify file patterns, establish analysis scope

Agent 2: JavaScript/TypeScript Analysis (code-analysis)

  • Use ast-grep for structural pattern matching
  • Focus on: empty catch, magic values, var usage, deprecated patterns

Agent 3: Async/Promise Analysis (code-analysis)

  • Unhandled promises, nested callbacks, floating promises
  • Promise constructor anti-pattern

Agent 4: Framework-Specific Analysis (code-analysis)

  • Vue: props mutation, reactivity issues
  • React: hooks dependencies, inline functions

Agent 5: Security Analysis (security-audit)

  • eval, innerHTML, hardcoded secrets, injection risks
  • Use OWASP context

Agent 6: Complexity Analysis (code-analysis)

  • Function length, nesting depth, parameter counts
  • Cyclomatic complexity indicators

ast-grep Pattern Examples

Use these patterns during analysis:

Empty catch blocks

ast-grep -p 'try { $$$ } catch ($E) { }' --lang js

Magic numbers

ast-grep -p 'if ($VAR > 100)' --lang js

Console statements

ast-grep -p 'console.log($$$)' --lang js

var usage

ast-grep -p 'var $VAR = $$$' --lang js

TypeScript any

ast-grep -p ': any' --lang ts ast-grep -p 'as any' --lang ts

Vue props mutation

ast-grep -p 'props.$PROP = $VALUE' --lang js

Security: eval

ast-grep -p 'eval($$$)' --lang js

Security: innerHTML

ast-grep -p '$ELEM.innerHTML = $$$' --lang js

Python: mutable defaults

ast-grep -p 'def $FUNC($ARG=[])' --lang py

Post-Analysis

After consolidating findings:

  • Prioritize issues by impact and effort

  • Suggest which issues can be auto-fixed with ast-grep

  • Identify patterns that indicate systemic problems

  • Recommend process improvements (linting rules, pre-commit hooks)
