dancing-bear: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/optimize-code/SKILL.md

optimize-code is a skill for Claude Code from dancing-bear-show/dancing-bear. It costs 72 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A post-implementation review that scans code for reuse, complexity, tests, security, and architecture problems. It can apply corrections and check the results again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementing a feature or when cleaning up code, especially as a pre-pull-request quality check.
Why use it?
It helps catch maintainability and quality issues before a commit or pull request, instead of finding them later in review or production.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

optimize-code scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Optimize Code

Delegates to workflows/code/optimize-code.yaml, which runs 5 quality scans in parallel (reuse, complexity, coverage, security, and architecture), collates findings, applies corrections, and rechecks.

When to Use

  • After implementing a feature (before committing or opening a PR)
  • User says "optimize", "harden", "clean up", or "polish"
  • As a pre-PR quality gate

How to Run

IMPORTANT: Use the /workflow skill — do NOT call ./bin/workflow run --execute directly. It only writes dispatch files and exits (status=pending). The /workflow skill is what actually spawns agents, waits for results, and handles human gates.

Skill(skill="workflow", args="--workflow workflows/code/optimize-code.yaml --params source_root=src/<domain>/ --params test_path=tests/<domain>_tests/ --params domain_slug=src-<domain>")

With a PR number (scopes changed-files detection to that PR):

Skill(skill="workflow", args="--workflow workflows/code/optimize-code.yaml --params pr_number=314 --params source_root=src/<domain>/ --params test_path=tests/<domain>_tests/ --params domain_slug=src-<domain>")

Skip specific checks:

Skill(skill="workflow", args="--workflow workflows/code/optimize-code.yaml --params source_root=src/<domain>/ --params test_path=tests/<domain>_tests/ --params domain_slug=src-<domain> --params skip_checks=coverage,security")

Workflow Params

Param Default Description
source_root "" Path prefix for changed source files, e.g. src/workflow/
test_path "" Test directory to run, e.g. tests/workflow_tests/
domain_slug "" Required: source_root with / replaced by -, e.g. src-workflow; keeps each domain's workspace separate
pr_number "" Optional PR number — scopes file detection to that PR's diff
skip_checks "" Comma-separated checks to skip: reuse,complexity,coverage,security,arch
auth_domains github,qlty Auth pre-flight domains

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

optimize-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository dancing-bear-show/dancing-bear (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 963 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-07.
