Weekly tech debt report
Every Friday, compile a trend report of debt signals — TODO count, lint suppressions, type coverage, largest files — so the team sees drift before it compounds.
/schedule every Friday at 4pm, measure TODO/FIXME count, eslint-disable and ts-ignore counts, type coverage, and the five largest source files; append the numbers with week-over-week deltas to reports/tech-debt.md and call out the single worst trend in one paragraph

Implementation note
Read-only and cheap to run. The week-over-week deltas are the value; absolute numbers alone rarely change behavior.
More maintenance loops
Upgrade to current Node LTS
Move the project to the current Node LTS across .nvmrc, CI config, Dockerfiles, and engines, fixing deprecations until everything is green on the new runtime.
/goal the project runs on the current Node LTS — update .nvmrc, the engines field, CI workflow files, and any Dockerfile base images to the LTS version, then run install, build, lint, and the full test suite on it, fixing deprecation warnings and breakages one at a time; stop when all are green or after 15 turns
Define done before Codex starts
Set the completion contract up front, track proof for every requirement, and block partial work from being called done.
Run $goal-planner-codex [task] for long-running Codex work where partial work could be mistaken for done. Landing a PR and verifying production is one example. Before acting, define every required outcome and its evidence. After each bounded action, mark requirements proved, weak, missing, or contradicted. Complete the Goal only when all are proved; otherwise stop as blocked, stalled, or exhausted. Ask before creating Goal state. Finish with the requirement-to-evidence table, status, owner, and next action.
Chase a refund until it lands
Open the claim, watch replies and deadlines, and keep the case moving until the money actually arrives.
Get my refund for [company and charge info]. Start the claim now through an approved support channel, then keep following up on replies, promises, and deadlines until the refund arrives. Keep a short case note so each follow-up has context. Stop only when the refund is received or you are genuinely blocked and need me.
