Check the code of a task against the company''s code standards and fix what does not comply. The standards are written by the company in <knowledge base>/company/standards/code-standards.md, else .harness/standards/code-standards.md; this skill only reads them. Use before the promote dry-run of a task that changed code, or when the user asks to check or fix code style, naming or conventions. Keywords: code standards, coding conventions, style check, lint, naming rules, comply with the rules.

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

# Check the code against the company's standards

The company writes its standards once, in one file. This skill checks the code a task produced against them and fixes what does not comply, so the reviewer and the promote step see code that already follows the house rules.

**Who starts it: offer.** When a task has changed code and standards are plugged in, ask the user in one line whether to check it before the diff. Go on only after a yes, or when the user asked for it.

## When to Use This Skill

- A `dev` task has code in `DEV/` and is about to go to `task diff` and the promote dry run.
- The user asks to check or fix style, naming or conventions of some code.

## Prerequisites

- The standards are in `<knowledge base>/company/standards/code-standards.md`; when that file is not there, in `.harness/standards/code-standards.md`. `harness doctor` names the one in use. One `###` heading per rule, with `Applies to`, `Rule`, `Check`, `Fix`, `Severity`. If the file has no rule, say that nothing is plugged in, name the file, and stop. Do not make rules up.
- To fix files, the plan is approved (`DEV/` is writable). Before that, only report.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/generic-code-standards@sha256:6ff5d1ee1f9fe0ad

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d95f023, 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.
