Custom-MCPs: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review/SKILL.md

thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review is a skill for Claude Code from Edison-Watch/Custom-MCPs. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,688 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review, MIT.

A very strict code-maintainability review focused on whether a codebase is unnecessarily complex or difficult to change. It examines abstractions, oversized files, and growing chains of conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for an unusually demanding audit of changed code, especially when checking file size, branching complexity, duplicated structure, types, and module boundaries.
Why use it?
It looks beyond local bugs to find structural problems that make future changes risky or expensive. The review also seeks larger simplifications that preserve the existing behavior.

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

thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review 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 8d ago.

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.

Origin

Thermo-Nuclear Code Quality Review

Use this skill for an unusually strict review focused on implementation quality, maintainability, abstraction quality, and codebase health.

Above all, this skill should push the reviewer to be ambitious about code structure. Do not merely identify local cleanup opportunities. Actively search for "code judo" moves: restructurings that preserve behavior while making the implementation dramatically simpler, smaller, more direct, and more elegant.

Running this review

This file is both the rubric and the entry point. There are two ways in:

  • You invoke it (/thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review): first gather the review context (git diff <base>...HEAD, default base main, plus the full contents of the changed files), then hand that context to the thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review subagent (Task tool) so the heavy review reasoning runs in an isolated context window and only the verdict returns to your conversation. For a tiny diff you may just apply the rubric below inline.
  • The subagent runs it: the parent passes the diff and file contents in; the subagent reads this file for the rubric and reviews only what it was given.

The split is deliberate: this file owns the standard; the subagent owns isolated execution with the diff in context.

Core Prompt

Start from this baseline:

Perform a deep code quality audit of the current branch's changes. Rethink how to structure / implement the changes to meaningfully improve code quality without impacting behavior. Work to improve abstractions, modularity, reduce Spaghetti code, improve succinctness and legibility. Be ambitious, if there is a clear path to improving the implementation that involves restructuring some of the codebase, go for it. Be extremely thorough and rigorous. Measure twice, cut once.

Non-Negotiable Additional Standards

Apply the baseline prompt above, plus these explicit review rules:

  1. Be ambitious about structural simplification.
    • Do not stop at "this could be a bit cleaner."
    • Look for opportunities to reframe the change so that whole branches, helpers, modes, conditionals, or layers disappear entirely.
    • Prefer the solution that makes the code feel inevitable in hindsight.
    • Assume there is often a "code judo" move available: a re-organization that uses the existing architecture more effectively and makes the change dramatically simpler and more elegant.
    • If you see a path to delete complexity rather than rearrange it, push hard for that path.
