Run a conservative code-project housekeeping pass: one proven low-risk cleanup at a time.

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

# Housekeeper

## Goal

Find and apply one proven, low-risk cleanup at a time while preserving existing behavior and protecting unrelated work.

## Loop Prompt

```text
Review [repository or code project] for dead code, meaning unreachable or unused code; stale files or comments; unused dependencies; duplication; broken links; inconsistent names; and confusing structure. Protect unrelated, active, uncommitted, generated, and uncertain work. Prove one low-risk cleanup, make the smallest coherent change, then rerun the build, tests, runtime checks, and diff review. Keep only verified improvements. Stop when none remain, progress stalls, verification is unavailable, or approval is required. Return changes, evidence, and deferred candidates.
```

Stop when no confirmed low-risk cleanup remains and existing behavior still passes.

## When To Use

Use this when a code project has accumulated small maintenance problems, such as unused code, stale files, duplicated logic, broken links, old comments, inconsistent names, or confusing organization, but broad deletion would be risky.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leek/agent-skills/housekeeper@sha256:f76408111419b7d2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.0f2f385, 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.
