quality SKILL.md skillA

quality from ariaxhan/kernel-claude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/quality@git:20260910.7a6362e

Pins git:20260910.7a6362e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

AI code quality checks. The Big 5: input validation, edge cases, error handling, duplication, complexity. Triggers: quality, big 5, ai code, review, validate.

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

<skill id="quality">

<purpose>
AI code is 1.7x buggier. These 5 checks catch 80% of issues.
Load this skill for any review, validation, or implementation work.

<big5>
<check id="1" name="input_validation" detection="grep -r 'req\.body' | grep -v 'parse\|validate\|z\.'">
Every endpoint has Zod/Pydantic schema. Parameterized queries only.
</check>

<check id="2" name="edge_cases" detection="search for array access without length check">
Handle: null, empty array, zero-length string, timeout, unicode.
</check>

<check id="3" name="error_handling" detection="grep -r 'catch.*{}'">
No empty catch. Errors logged with context. User messages generic.
Silent swallowing is the worst variant: a catch/onError that returns a masked or
generic body without first logging method/path/cause hides the root failure behind
a 500 and costs a full re-diagnosis per incident. Every handler logs the cause
before it masks. Missing config/dependency is a NAMED condition in the response
(which var, which service), never a generic error.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/quality@sha256:c4fccca4243cd3bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.7a6362e, 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.
