Description
clean-code is an agent skill that applies the principles of Clean Code by Robert C. Martin, to turn code that works into code that is clean. Its core idea, quoted from Grady Booch in the skill, is that code is clean if it can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. It is for writing new code to a high standard from the start, reviewing pull requests with principle-based feedback, refactoring legacy code to remove smells, and aligning a team on standard practices. The guidance is about readability, naming, function size, duplication and structure. Use it when code works but is hard to read or change, and you want a review or a rewrite guided by established principles. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 12,200 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill clean-code.…
