Apply Clean Code

Overview

Use this skill to improve code clarity without turning "clean code" into dogma. Start from the reader's confusion and the real maintenance pain, then make the smallest changes that improve intent, readability, and safety.

Prefer practical cleanup over style theater. The goal is code that a teammate can understand, modify, and test with less friction.

When To Use This Skill

Use this skill when the task involves any of the following:

• Cleaning up messy or overly dense code
• Improving naming, function boundaries, or module clarity
• Reviewing whether a change is readable and maintainable
• Refactoring code that technically works but is difficult to understand
• Explaining clean code principles to a teammate
• Reducing comments, duplication, or control-flow confusion by improving the code itself
