Warden Sweep FAQs

Question 1

What is a Warden Sweep?

Warden Sweep is a specialized capability for Claude Code that performs a multi-phase scan of an entire repository to detect, verify, and fix code defects and security vulnerabilities.

Question 2

Can I resume a sweep if it is interrupted?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Does it automatically merge changes into my main branch?

Accepted Answer

No, the skill is designed for safety and creates draft pull requests. This allows human developers to review the AI-generated fixes and verification reasoning before any code is merged.

After an initial scan, the skill launches general-purpose subagents to 'deep-trace' each finding. These agents analyze the logic flow to confirm the bug is valid and generate a suggested diff for the fix.

What tools are required to run a Warden Sweep?

Accepted Answer

The skill requires warden, gh (GitHub CLI), git, jq, and uv to be installed and available in your environment's PATH.
