minion-sweep

PROACTIVELY USE when user asks to add docstrings/types across multiple files or a directory. Delegates bulk grunt work to local LLMs — saves cloud tokens. Two phases: discover, then apply. Use instead of manually editing many files. Files must be <500 lines each.

Minion Sweep

Codebase-wide maintenance scan.

When to Invoke

User requests "add docstrings to all files"
Periodic codebase cleanup
Tech debt reduction

Commands

# Discover what needs work
source .venv/bin/activate && python scripts/minions.py --json sweep <dir> --task <task>

# Apply fixes
source .venv/bin/activate && python scripts/minions.py --json sweep <dir> --task <task> --apply

Tasks

| Task | What it checks | |------|----------------| | all | Everything (default) | | docstrings | Missing function/class/module docstrings | | types | Missing type hints | | headers | Missing module-level docstrings only |

Examples

# Discover
python scripts/minions.py --json sweep src/ --task docstrings

# Apply
