# ESLint Autofix Safe Cleanup Node v20+

## Purpose

Use this skill for Node.js 20+ projects where ESLint autofix must preserve process and script behavior.

This variant keeps the cleanup mechanical and ensures no command-line, worker, or service contract changes slip in through a lint pass.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:

- the runtime is Node.js 20 or newer
- autofix touches scripts or services
- process behavior must stay unchanged
- the cleanup should remain small and reviewable

## Do

Keep process behavior intact.

Review the diff before accepting it.

Validate scripts or services when relevant.

## Do Not

Avoid broad autofix changes that alter process behavior.

Avoid mixing Node behavior changes with lint cleanup.

## Review Checklist

- [ ] Node process behavior is unchanged.
- [ ] The fix is mechanical.
- [ ] The diff is bounded.

## Expected Output

1. Decide whether autofix is safe in Node code.
2. Apply only mechanical changes.
3. Preserve process behavior.
4. Validate relevant tests or scripts.
5. Keep the cleanup bounded.
