code-hygiene SKILL.md skillA

code-hygiene from jnpiyush/agentx is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/code-hygiene@git:20261010.87e53aa

Pins git:20261010.87e53aa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read-only hygiene review that reports cosmetic lint/style findings as LOW advisories and requests explicit approval before cleanup. Genuine defects are assessed separately by impact.

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 Hygiene Sweep

Three parallel analysis passes that detect and report common quality issues from AI-assisted coding -- over-engineering, stale or filler comments, and generic UI patterns that signal templated output.

## Cleanup Boundary

Cosmetic lint/style findings are LOW and do not block local loop/review Done
Criteria. Report file/line, original tool severity, suggestion and scope; do not
clean up automatically. The owning agent explicitly asks whether the user wants
the findings fixed and waits. No response or a decline means leave them unchanged.

Build/type failures and verified correctness, security, reliability or
accessibility defects are not cosmetic lint; classify them separately by impact.
Do not waive independent CI/commit/release gates. Full policy:
`.github/AGENT-PROTOCOL.md` section 4.

## When to Use

- After completing a feature -- sweep before PR
- Before code review -- pre-clean changed files
- When code feels templated or over-abstracted
- Periodic codebase hygiene on a directory
- After a long AI-assisted session to audit quality

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/code-hygiene@sha256:a2f126da7149a830

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.87e53aa, 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.
