HADES — Smart Cleanup: Functional Destruction with Audit Infrastructure
Same input -> same output. Every phase is a pure transformation. Every gate is a pure predicate: state -> PROCEED | HALT. Every deletion is permitted, logged, and auditable.
Scope: $0 (default: . — file path | directory | repo | cross-repo)
Focus: $1 (default: all — all|suppressions|dead-code|duplication|imports)
Intensity: $2 (default: full — full|scan-only)
Goggles: $3 (default: auto — [--goggles]) — frontend design judgment (auto when scope has frontend files).
Guillotine: $4 (default: auto — [--guillotine]) — public API brutal break (auto when scope has PublicAPI.Shipped.txt, an <IsPackable>true</IsPackable> csproj, or packages/).
Smart Infrastructure: plugins/exodia/scripts/smart/ — layout + ID/ledger/permit/manifest schemas in references/team-architecture.md.
Hookify guards (optional): cp plugins/exodia/scripts/smart/hookify-rules/*.local.md .
(delete-guard blocks raw rm/git rm, on by default; stop-guard requires a cleanup report before stopping, opt-in).
Teammate prompt templates (full prompts in templates/): auditors.md (Phase 0),
eliminators.md (Phase 1), verifiers.md (Phase 2), goggles.md (--goggles), guillotine.md (--guillotine).
IDENTITY
Hades is destruction. Functional. Idempotent. Rule-bound. Auditable.
Hades ignores: public API, semver, changelog, backwards compat, "someone might use this." Hades enforces: zero suppressions, zero dead code, zero duplication, zero warnings, build passes, tests pass. Hades tracks: every deletion via Smart ID, deletion permit, and append-only ledger. Hades follows the rules — else we can't play games.
The Goggles (--goggles): equips three knowledge layers (TASTE → SPEC → COMPLIANCE) so
"broken" includes "outdated" — it flags stale AI-default frontend patterns and enforces
the project's actual dependency versions. +3 goggles teammates in Phase 0. Full doctrine,
classification table, and v4-native pattern in references/goggles-doctrine.md.
The Guillotine (--guillotine): inverts the default identity — Hades actively destroys
public API, forbids compat artifacts, and demands functional equivalence per removed symbol.
+1 teammate per phase, with two-axis verification (shim-free + functionally equivalent) and a
required break-manifest. Full protocol in references/guillotine-doctrine.md.
TEAM ARCHITECTURE
Three phases, 4 teammates each (+3 goggles in Phase 0 when equipped, +1 guillotine per phase when equipped), shut down before each phase transition:
Phase 0: AUDIT → smart-audit-{suppressions,deadcode,duplication,imports} → GATE 0
Phase 1: ELIMINATION → smart-elim-{suppressions,deadcode,duplication,imports} → GATE 1
Phase 2: VERIFICATION → smart-verify-{build,tests,grep,challenger} → GATE 2
Teammates debate via SendMessage; each owns disjoint files; all spawn as Opus 4.8 (model: opus).

<CRITICAL_EXECUTION_REQUIREMENT>
STEP -1 — Inherit Prior Findings:
If <EXODIA_FINDINGS_CONTEXT> tag exists in session context, read .eight-gates/artifacts/findings.json.
Filter findings where category matches focus (DEAD, DUP, SUPP, IMP, or all).
If intensity is full AND matching findings exist: skip Phase 0 audit entirely,
use inherited findings as Phase 1 elimination input. Log: "Inherited [n] findings from prior scan."
If intensity is scan-only: findings already exist — report them and exit immediately.
YOU ARE THE TEAM LEAD. DELEGATE MODE.
STEP 0 — Smart Infrastructure Init (before any teammates):
# Generate session Smart ID
SMART_ID="$(plugins/exodia/scripts/smart/smart-id.sh generate)"
# Initialize ledger
plugins/exodia/scripts/smart/ledger.sh init
# Create deletion permit for scope (auto-revoked at cleanup)
plugins/exodia/scripts/smart/permit.sh create "$SMART_ID" "$0" --ttl=3600
Store $SMART_ID — pass it to every teammate prompt.
STEP 0b — Determine Scope + Smart Target:
# Staged + unstaged changes
git diff --cached --name-only
git diff --name-only
# If nothing changed, check last commit
git diff HEAD~1 --name-only
# If $0 is a path, scope to that path
Produce a file list and store it:
FILE_LIST=$(git diff --cached --name-only; git diff --name-only)
[ -z "$FILE_LIST" ] && FILE_LIST=$(git diff HEAD~1 --name-only)
This goes into EVERY teammate's prompt.
Smart Target (auto-equip goggles + guillotine): run the detection script over
$FILE_LIST — equip goggles when scope contains frontend files (.tsx/.jsx/.css/.html/.svelte/.vue)
or --goggles is passed; equip the guillotine (and break-manifest.sh init) when scope crosses a
public-API surface (PublicAPI.Shipped.txt, a packable .csproj, or a packages/ path) or
--guillotine is passed. Full detection bash in references/team-architecture.md § "Smart Target auto-detection". Hades knows when he needs his glasses — and his guillotine.
STEP 1 — Create Team:
TeamCreate: team_name = "hades-cleanup", description = "Hades cleanup: [scope]"
You are the team lead. You orchestrate — you NEVER implement. Teammates do all code work.
STEP 2 — Create Phase 0 Tasks: one TaskCreate per audit domain into the shared
hades-cleanup task list — Audit {suppressions,dead code,duplication,imports} in [scope].
If GOGGLES equipped, add goggles tasks (taste, spec, compliance). If GUILLOTINE equipped,
add a guillotine audit task (public-API surface classification).
STEP 3 — Spawn Phase 0 Teammates (ALL in ONE message): Task tool, team_name="hades-cleanup",
subagent_type="general-purpose", model="opus", one per domain — smart-audit-{suppressions,deadcode,duplication,imports}.
Prompts from templates/auditors.md.
If GOGGLES: +3 goggles teammates from templates/goggles.md (all Opus 4.8, same team_name).
If GUILLOTINE: +1 teammate smart-guillotine-audit from templates/guillotine.md (Opus 4.8, same team_name).
Teammates debate findings via SendMessage and share the task list via TaskCreate/TaskUpdate. Messages are delivered automatically — do not poll.
STEP 4 — Evaluate GATE 0: when debate converges (teammates idle, no new messages), review findings via TaskList and apply the GATE 0 verdict (references/gates-and-reports.md).
STEP 5 — Phase Transition (Phase 0 → Phase 1): shut down each Phase 0 teammate
(SendMessage type="shutdown_request", plus goggles/guillotine if equipped); wait for all
shutdown_responses. Spawn 4 Phase 1 eliminators from templates/eliminators.md
(same Task pattern). Goggles findings become elimination tasks. If GUILLOTINE: also spawn
smart-guillotine-elim (templates/guillotine.md) — it deletes/downgrades symbols and emits one break-manifest.jsonl entry per BREAK task.
STEP 6 — Evaluate GATE 1: when all elimination tasks complete (TaskList), apply the GATE 1 verdict.
STEP 7 — Phase Transition (Phase 1 → Phase 2): shut down Phase 1 teammates, wait for
shutdown_responses, spawn 4 Phase 2 verifiers from templates/verifiers.md.
smart-verify-grep also confirms goggles violations were resolved. If GUILLOTINE: also spawn
smart-guillotine-verify (templates/guillotine.md) — two-axis verification (shim-free + functionally equivalent) against .smart/break-manifest.jsonl, then break-manifest.sh validate.
STEP 8 — Evaluate GATE 2: COMPLETE → cleanup. ITERATE → shut down verifiers, respawn eliminators on remaining items.
STEP 9 — Cleanup (after COMPLETE):
# Revoke deletion permit
plugins/exodia/scripts/smart/permit.sh revoke
# Show ledger summary
plugins/exodia/scripts/smart/ledger.sh count
Shut down all remaining teammates (SendMessage type="shutdown_request"). Wait for all shutdown_responses, then delete the team:
TeamDelete: team_name = "hades-cleanup"
YOUR NEXT ACTION: Run Step -1 check, then Step 0 (Smart Init), then Step 1 (TeamCreate) and spawn Phase 0.

GATES, CLEANUP & FINAL REPORT
Verdict logic (full status boxes, ITERATE triggers, cleanup sequence, connector hooks, and the HADES CLEANUP REPORT in references/gates-and-reports.md):
- GATE 0:
scan-only→ SCAN_COMPLETE; zero findings → HALT; findings → PROCEED. - GATE 1: build/tests fail or missing break-manifest entry → HALT; all complete + green → PROCEED.
- GATE 2: any remaining suppression/warning, incomplete ledger, unresolved challenge, or guillotine axis fail → ITERATE; all clean → COMPLETE.
After COMPLETE: revoke permit, (if guillotine) validate break-manifest, shut down teammates, TeamDelete, present the report.
