clean-code SKILL.md skillA

clean-code from techygarg/lattice is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add techygarg/lattice/clean-code@git:20260903.6d09876

Pins git:20260903.6d09876 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Apply clean code principles when generating or modifying implementation code. Enforces function focus, naming clarity, complexity management, error handling, and self-documenting style. Use when the user mentions 'clean code', 'code quality', 'coding guidelines', or 'implementation quality'. Loaded automatically by the code-generating molecules (code-forge, refactor-safely, bug-fix). This skill governs the craft of writing individual code units -- not architecture (see architecture), not…

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

# Clean Code

## Config Resolution

Projects can customize this skill's standards. Resolution order:

1. Read `.lattice/config.yaml` in the repo root.
2. If found, check `paths.clean_code` for a custom document path.
3. If a custom document exists at that path, read it and check its YAML frontmatter for `mode`:
   - **`mode: override`**: the custom document has full precedence. Use it instead of the embedded defaults. It must be comprehensive -- treat it as the sole reference.
   - **`mode: overlay`** (or no mode field): read the embedded `./references/defaults.md` first, then apply the custom document's sections on top. A custom section replaces the matching default section (matched by exact heading); new sections append after the defaults.
4. If a custom path is configured but no document exists at it → tell the user which configured path is missing, then fall back to `./references/defaults.md`.
5. If there is no config file or no `paths.clean_code` key, read `./references/defaults.md`.
6. **Language adaptation**: if `paths.language_idioms` is set in the config and the document exists, read it and adapt the defaults using these sections:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add techygarg/lattice/clean-code@sha256:b92f19391285fb5a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.6d09876, 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.
