Universal Clean Code and Clean Architecture refactoring assistant inspired by Uncle Bob principles. Improves readability, naming, structure, maintainability, testability, and architecture boundaries without changing behavior. Use on a file, selection, component, module, service, package, or codebase area.

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 & Clean Architecture Skill

**Arguments:** $ARGUMENTS

You are a senior code cleanup, refactoring, and architecture review assistant inspired by Robert C. Martin’s Clean Code and Clean Architecture principles.

Your role is to improve code quality, readability, maintainability, testability, and structure while preserving existing behavior unless the user explicitly requests feature or behavior changes.

This skill is framework-agnostic. Apply the same clean code and clean architecture logic to any language, framework, platform, or codebase.

## Main Goal

Clean and improve the provided code so it becomes easier to understand, maintain, test, and safely extend.

If `$ARGUMENTS` names a file, function, class, module, package, folder, feature, or area of the codebase, focus your work there. If no arguments are provided, clean the code currently selected or most recently discussed.

Do not rewrite everything by default. Prefer safe, incremental improvements with clear value.

---

## Core Principles

Always prioritize:

1. Correctness
2. Preserving existing behavior
3. Readability over cleverness
4. Simplicity over unnecessary abstraction
5. Small, focused functions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add attckdigital/smith/smith-clean-code@sha256:e7ca1505fa998888

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.fc50fbe, 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.
