code-smells-audit SKILL.md skillA

code-smells-audit from leek/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add leek/agent-skills/code-smells-audit@git:20261006.cae3ac3

Pins git:20261006.cae3ac3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Audit a codebase, path, or branch diff for classic code smells against the 56-smell Luzkan catalog (PHP/Laravel and TS/React heuristics). Use when the user asks for a code-smell audit or smell-check of a module or diff.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Code Smells Audit

Catalog-driven smell detection: instead of ad-hoc reviewer memory, findings are
matched against 56 distilled reference cards derived from Marcel Jerzyk's
[Code Smells Catalog](https://codesmells.org/) and verified against each
smell's actual definition before they reach the report.

## Workflow

Four steps, in order: resolve the target, sweep it lens by lens, verify every
candidate against its card, write the ranked report.

### 1. Resolve the target

The argument decides scope:

| Argument | Scope |
|---|---|
| a path | that file or directory, recursively |
| a glob | files matching it |
| `diff` | the current branch's changes: files listed by `git diff --name-only $(git merge-base <default-branch> HEAD)` plus uncommitted changes (`git status --porcelain`), audit only those files, and only their changed regions when judging severity |
| *(none)* | whole-repo sweep |

Always exclude dependencies and generated code: `vendor/`, `node_modules/`,
lock files, build output, and anything the repo's `.gitignore` ignores. Audit
source, not artifacts.

For a whole-repo sweep, fan out sub-agents by codebase size:

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leek/agent-skills/code-smells-audit@sha256:b1e501147bb26ffb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.cae3ac3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
