Audits Claude Code repositories. Two-phase workflow — Phase 1 sweeps 14 hygiene categories (permissions, hooks, CLAUDE.md bloat, Skills hygiene, process-abstraction, plus structural) and an optional 7-layer leak check. Phase 2 executes [APPROVED] markers from the report file. Use for repo cleanup, pre-distribution sanity, post-feature hygiene, environment audit, process-abstraction discovery. Trigger on "audit my CC repo," "sweep my repository for hygiene," "check this CC environment…
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.

# rootnode-repo-hygiene > **Calibration:** Tier 3 (High-effort recommended) — run on Opus 5.5 (start at its `medium` default; step to `high` when verification matters or edge cases are likely) or Sonnet 5.5 at `high`.

Reserve Fable 5.1 for long-horizon runs where Opus 5.5 at higher effort still fails your evals. See repository README for model compatibility. A two-phase Skill for auditing and cleaning up Claude Code repositories.

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.
