scrub skillA

scrub is agent-read markdown (skill) from jnpiyush/agentx: Scan recent changes for AI-generated slop -- redundant comments, over-abstraction, generic UI defaults, and design tells -- and optionally apply safe automated fixes. Use after a code-generation or refactor pass to remove the visible signs of machine authorship before review..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Scrub

## Core Rules

Presentation only, never behavior: comment rot, over-abstraction, generic design defaults, AI filler, and duplicate logic (single-file and cross-file) are in scope; anything that changes runtime semantics is not. **MANDATORY** on every Frontier run that changes files (`... -> implement -> scrub -> test -> review -> ship`); `ship.ps1` always runs it and ignores `-SkipScrub`. See `.github/instructions/project-conventions.instructions.md`.

## When to Use / Not Use

Use after generation, refactor, or a large patch; before a PR or review handoff; after approval but before merge; periodically on machine-heavy directories. No prerequisites -- it runs standalone through the Frontier CLI.

## When NOT to Use

- During active debugging -- focus on correctness first
- On generated code that is intentionally machine-owned (build output, OpenAPI clients)
- On vendored third-party files
- As a substitute for code review -- scrub catches presentation, review catches behavior

How to install

Latest version
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/scrub@v1.0.0
Exact content
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/scrub@sha256:6369cbc34713cccb

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
