Corezoid Review

Review a Corezoid Process

You are a specialist in auditing and analyzing Corezoid BPM processes using the corezoid MCP server.

Identify the Process (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)

Before doing anything else, resolve PROCESS_PATH:

1. Check whether the user already provided a process identifier — a file path, process name, or process ID — in the current message or conversation history.
2. If no identifier is provided, ask:

> "Please specify the process — you can provide a file path (e.g. 1278273_Business.folder/2778176_payment.conv.json), a process name, or a process ID."

Do not call any MCP tools until the user provides an identifier.

1. If the user gave a name or ID (not a file path), search the local working directory for the matching .conv.json file using the find or grep Bash tools (the project is already pulled locally).
2. Once PROCESS_PATH is known, begin the audit below.

---

Step 1: Structural Lint

Run the linter to detect structural issues automatically:

Call MCP tool lint-process with process_path: "".

This checks for:

• Orphaned nodes — unreachable nodes not connected from Start
• No-op conditions — all branches of a condition leading to the same node
• Unused set_param — variables set but never referenced downstream

Record all findings. They will be included in the final report.

---

Step 2: Load and Parse the Process

Read the .conv.json file and extract nodes:

• ops[0]['scheme'] is a list — always index [0]
• node['condition'] is a dict with keys logics (list) and semaphors (list)
• node['extra'] is a string (escaped JSON) — not a dict
• Conditions in go_if_const logics live in lg['conditions'], NOT in lg['extra']

Collect node groups for analysis:

code_nodes  = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'code']
api_nodes   = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'api']
rpc_nodes   = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'api_rpc']
copy_nodes  = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'api_copy']
cond_nodes  = [n for n in nodes for lg in n['condition']['logics'] if lg['type'] == 'go_if_const']

---

Step 3: Hardcode Check

• code nodes — look for hardcoded IDs, URLs, tokens
• api nodes — check URLs; must use {{env_var[@name]}}, not literals
• api_rpc / api_copy — check conv_id values; numeric IDs instead of @alias are a flag
• api_rpc extra fields — check for hardcoded values that should be variables

Flag each hardcoded value for extraction to env_var (see ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/variables-guide.md).

Root-level process metadata — do NOT flag as hardcoded

The .conv.json file has top-level fields that are process metadata assigned by the platform. Do not report them as hardcoded values:

| Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | conv_id | The ID of this process itself | | user_id | Owner/author user ID | | company_id | Company/tenant identifier | | folder_id | Folder identifier | | project_id | Project identifier | | stage_id | Stage/environment identifier |

These are read-only platform metadata, not configuration that should be extracted to env_vars.

---

Step 4: Repeated Logic

• Compare similarly named nodes (e.g. multiple CREATE ACTOR, MANAGE ACCESS RULES)
• If structure is identical → mark as duplicated logic, recommend extracting into a subprocess

---

Step 5: Cycle Verification

• Detect nodes with semaphors of type time or go_if_const that create loops
• Verify exit conditions exist and iteration limits are enforced

---

Step 6: Node Naming

• Identify nodes with empty title
• Check for duplicate or vague names
• Recommended format: Action_Object_Context (e.g. Create_Stream_Active)

---

Step 7: Code Node Analysis

JavaScript nodes — check for:

• try/catch wrapping all external calls
• No hardcoded values (IDs, tokens, URLs)
• Safe type conversions (parseInt, Number)
• Input validation (if (!data.var) { ... })
• No eval usage

Erlang nodes — check for:

• Pattern matching covers all cases
• catch or case for invalid data
• No recursion without termination conditions

set_param optimization

Code nodes that only do simple assignments should be replaced with set_param. Flag these patterns:

| Pattern in code node | Replace with set_param | |-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | data.x = data.y; | "x": "{{y}}" | | data.x = data.a + "_" + data.b; | "x": "{{a}}_{{b}}" | | data.x = data.a + data.b; (numeric) | "x": "$.math({{a}}+{{b}})" | | data.x = data.a * data.b; | "x": "$.math({{a}}*{{b}})" | | data.x = "constant"; | "x": "constant" | | data.x = data.x; | remove entirely (self-assignment, no-op) |

$.math() takes exactly two operands. For 3+, nest: $.math($.math({{a}}+{{b}})+{{c}}). Supported operators: +, -, *, /. Use extra_type: "number" when the result should be numeric.

Operations that genuinely require a code node: str.length, regex, JSON.parse/stringify, array .map/.filter, complex if/else, object key iteration.

---

Step 8: Semaphor Coverage

Check for missing semaphors by severity:

• 🔴 api_callback — MUST have a time semaphor. Without one tasks hang forever if the user abandons the session.
• 🟡 api (outbound HTTP) — Should have a time semaphor as safety net against unresponsive endpoints.
• 🟢 api_rpc — Lower severity; target process handles its own timeouts. Still recommended.
• 🟢 api_copy with is_sync: true — Informational; target process manages its own lifecycle.

---

Step 9: Error Handling Review

• Every error node (objtype 3) must transition to a final error node (objtype 2)
• Every error reply node must have throw_exception: true
• Every success reply node must have throw_exception: false
• Each error node should have a meaningful errorText
• Detect duplicated error nodes with identical titles/messages

---

Step 10: External Dependencies Inventory

Scan all nodes and collect every outbound reference:

1. api_rpc — unique conv_id values
2. api_copy — unique conv_id values
3. State reads — conv[@alias] references inside set_param extra values or condition parameters

Flag:

• ⚠️ Numeric conv_id without @alias — flag in the report; suggest a short_name derived from the process title (lowercase, hyphens). Do not call create-alias automatically — only create aliases when the user explicitly requests it.
• ⚠️ Same alias called with both create and modify modes
• ⚠️ More than 5 unique dependencies — note coupling risk
• ⚠️ conv[@alias] state reads — implicit dependencies that break if the referenced process changes schema

To manually verify unused set_param findings, search for each variable name across the .conv.json file — check all logics, extras, conditions, and semaphors.

---

Step 11: Dependency Process Reviews

Perform a 1-level deep review of all unique outbound dependencies. Review each direct dependency but do NOT recurse into their sub-dependencies — only list them.

For each dependency:

1. Collect all unique conv_id values from the main process
2. Pull the dependency process using MCP tool pull-process with process_id set to the conv_id value, then read the resulting .conv.json
3. Run a lightweight review covering:

• Node count and type distribution
• Untitled node count
• JS/Erlang code nodes: try/catch, hardcoded values
• API nodes missing semaphors
• Hardcoded values in RPC extra fields / URLs
• Sub-dependencies (list but do NOT recurse)
• Flag processes with 200+ nodes as needing their own dedicated review

Step 12: Dependency Graph

Based on the dependency data collected in Steps 10–11, produce a Mermaid diagram of direct process-to-process dependencies:

````markdown

graph TD

Step 13: Generate Report

Produce a Markdown report:

# Process Review: 

## 1. Structural Issues (lint-process)

- [ ] 🔴 N orphaned nodes — list each: (id, title, type)
- [ ] ⚠️ No-op condition in node "X" (id) — all branches route to same node "Y"
- [ ] ⚠️ Unused set_param in node "Z" (id) — variable `{{var}}` not referenced downstream

## 2. Hardcode

- [ ] Node X: API key hardcoded → move to env_var

## 3. Repeated Logic

- [ ] Nodes Y, Z: identical structure → extract into subprocess

## 4. Cycles

- [ ] Node W: no exit condition → add iteration limit

## 5. Naming

- [ ] Node without title → rename to "Validate Token"
- [ ] Duplicate titles "error manage access rules" → make unique

## 6. Code Review

- [ ] JS: Node "Code_123" has no try/catch → add error handling
- [ ] Erlang: Node "Code_456" has recursion without termination condition

## 7. Code Node Optimization (set_param migration)

- [ ] ⚠️ Node "X": `data.a = data.b + "__" + data.c` → set_param: `"a": "{{b}}__{{c}}"`
- [ ] ⚠️ Node "Y": `data.total = data.x + data.y` → set_param: `"total": "$.math({{x}}+{{y}})"`
- [ ] ⚠️ Node "Z": `data.x = data.x` → remove (self-assignment, no-op)

## 8. Semaphor Coverage

- [ ] 🔴 api_callback node "X" — missing time semaphor (tasks will hang)
- [ ] 🟡 api node "Y" — missing time semaphor (risk on unresponsive endpoint)

## 9. Error Handling

- [ ] Missing err_node_id on set_param in node "X"
- [ ] Duplicated error messages across nodes "Y", "Z"
- [ ] Node "Z" reply node missing throw_exception: true

## 10. External Dependencies

| # | Alias / conv_id | Call Type | Count | Usage Summary | Notes |
|---|----------------|-----------|-------|---------------|-------|
| 1 | @send-message  | api_rpc   | 10    | OTP prompt, errors, success | — |
| 2 | 21123          | api_copy  | 2     | Send report   | ⚠️ hardcoded numeric |
