No inputs required — hit Run to stream each step in order.

Each step streams from its model and feeds the next. BYOK — you pay your provider directly. Add a key in Settings if a step needs one.

Step 1 · You cannot verify 'nothing broke' without a before-list.

Step 2 · Diagnose duplication, dead code, and oversized files before cutting.

Step 3 · Delete what is provably unused - the safest first win.

Step 4 · One source of truth for each behavior.

Step 6 · Prove the refactor kept its promise and leave the code defensible.

Best for

•Recurring tasks you currently copy-paste between tools.
•When a single prompt isn't enough — you need a chain where output(n) feeds prompt(n+1).
•Fork and adapt if your inputs differ materially from the author's use case.
