Code Smell Validator

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for detecting and addressing common code smells across any programming language. It generalizes industry-standard patterns (like those from "Refactoring" by Martin Fowler and "Ruby Science") into actionable, language-agnostic guidance.

When to Use This Skill

• Code Reviews: When identifying areas for improvement in pull requests.
• Refactoring: When planning to clean up complex or legacy code.
• Technical Debt Assessment: When evaluating the maintainability of a module or class.
• Mentoring: When explaining why certain code patterns should be avoided.
