Plankton Code Quality Skill

Integration reference for Plankton (credit: @alxfazio), a write-time code quality enforcement system for Claude Code. Plankton runs formatters and linters on every file edit via PostToolUse hooks, then spawns Claude subprocesses to fix violations the agent didn't catch.

When to Use

• You need defense against agents modifying linter configs to pass instead of fixing code
• You want tiered model routing for fixes (Haiku for simple style, Sonnet for logic, Opus for types)
• You work with multiple languages (Python, TypeScript, Shell, YAML, JSON, TOML, Markdown, Dockerfile)

How It Works

Three-Phase Architecture

Every time Claude Code edits or writes a file, Plankton's multi_linter.sh PostToolUse hook runs:
