What it does

Remove Unused Object Overrides is an agent skill from nwjs/chromium.src. Identify and safely remove unreferenced Java Object overrides (equals, hashCode, toString) in Clank to eliminate dead virtual methods from release DEX bytecode while strictly preserving equals/hashCode symmetry.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/automated_review.md`, `references/patterns.md` and `scripts/find_candidates.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Code quality. It works with Java. The repository describes itself as: Chromium codebase with NW.js modifications. Based on https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git. The licence is BSD-3-Clause.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Code quality

Example prompts

  • “/remove-unused-object-overrides”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Workspace Preparation
  2. Discovery & Batch Selection
  3. Refactoring & Implementation
  4. Validation
  5. Verification
  6. Submission

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a9e8946. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remove Unused Object Overrides loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 455 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Identify and safely remove unreferenced Java Object overrides (equals, hashCode, toString) in Clank to eliminate dead virtual methods from release DEX bytecode while strictly preserving equals/hashCode symmetry.

Code Health: Remove Unused Object Overrides

Identify and safely remove unreferenced Java Object overrides (equals, hashCode, toString) in Clank to eliminate dead virtual methods from release DEX bytecode while strictly preserving method symmetry.

Overview

Overriding equals(), hashCode(), or toString() on UI property holders and data classes adds virtual methods and metadata overhead in DEX bytecode. In many cases, these overrides were added during initial prototyping or solely for test verifications and are never invoked in production logic. Safely removing unreferenced overrides reduces release DEX size while maintaining object identity semantics.

Goal: Clean up all unreferenced Object overrides in UI data holders, properties, and model objects where equality is not needed in production code.

Relevant Resources & Style Guides

Workflow

[!IMPORTANT] Execution Protocol: Execute all steps sequentially one by one. Do not skip any step.

Step 1: Workspace Preparation

Follow the workspace preparation steps in workspace_preparation.md to ensure a clean and updated environment.

Step 2: Discovery & Batch Selection

Follow the Discovery & Batch Selection workflow. Present the candidates and ask for explicit approval before proceeding.

Step 3: Refactoring & Implementation

Process candidates case-by-case (one file at a time), applying modifications cleanly:

  1. Safety Audit:
    • Follow Rule 2 in patterns.md to audit all occurrences: check hashed collections (HashMap, HashSet), direct/indirect hashing (Objects.hashCode), collection lookups (List.contains, List.indexOf), state equality comparisons (Objects.equals), and serialization (Proto/Mojo/JSON).
    • If equals() is required in production (e.g. Toolbar snapshot capture tokens) $\rightarrow$ Keep BOTH equals() and hashCode().
    • If equals() is only needed for tests or not needed at all $\rightarrow$ Remove BOTH equals() and hashCode().
  2. Apply Code Edits:
    • Remove the unreferenced equals(), hashCode(), or toString() methods.
    • Clean up unused imports (such as java.util.Objects).
  3. Repair Unit Tests:
    • If Mockito verify() calls fail due to missing equals(): wrap the argument with refEq(expected).
    • If JUnit assertEquals() calls fail: replace with explicit field assertions or a local assertion helper method.

Step 4: Validation
  1. Code Formatting: Run git cl format to format changes.
  2. Mandatory Final Review: Follow the Automated Review Protocol to delegate a final review of the patch to the generalist sub-agent. Proceed only after it returns PASS.
Step 5: Verification

Follow the Verification workflow.

Step 6: Submission

Invoke the Submission workflow. Pass the following context variables:

  • Skill Name: remove-unused-object-overrides
  • Branch Name: cleanup-remove-object-overrides-[component-name]
  • Commit Hashtag: Code Health
  • Cleanup Title: Remove unused Object overrides in [Component/Directory]
  • Cleanup Description: Remove unreferenced Java Object overrides (equals, hashCode, toString) in [Component/Directory] to eliminate dead virtual methods from release DEX bytecode while strictly preserving method symmetry.
  • Parent Bug: 544923924
  • Bug ID: "none" (to skip creating a new bug, using only the parent bug)
  • Omit Skill Attribution: "true"
  • Cleaned Component: The parent directory of the batch.
  • File Count: Number of files cleaned up.
