codebase-hygiene

codebase-hygiene is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from IgorWarzocha/howaboua-pi-stuff. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for keeping maintained code organized, understandable, testable, and safe to change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting and improving code structure, tests, execution paths, dependencies, build tools, scripts, and language-specific conventions.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that refactoring, dependency changes, startup logic, or missing tests will make the code harder to maintain or verify.

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

codebase-hygiene 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Load applicable rules

Loaded references are authoritative.

  • Structural movement, ownership migration, and compatibility cleanup: references/refactoring.md
  • Test assessment, addition, deletion, and scoring: references/testing.md
  • Calls, dispatch, callbacks, continuations, imports, initialization, startup, and runtime cost: references/execution-topology.md
  • Dependencies, lockfiles, installers, scripts, CI actions, runtimes, compilers, and third-party tools: references/dependency-safety.md
  • Load every reference matching a repository language: references/js-ts.md, references/python.md, references/go.md, references/rust.md
  • React components, Hooks, rendering, state, and framework boundaries: references/react.md
  • For other languages, use repository evidence and current official ecosystem documentation.
  • Scores and caps: references/scoring-rubric.md. Score only when requested or already required.

Goal: leave a codebase that another agent can navigate efficiently, change coherently, verify quickly, and explain to a human from the code itself.

Inspect before editing

Optimize for agents working through search, bounded reads, and coherent multi-file edits. Do not imitate one-file-at-a-time human editing.

Read governing instructions, owning files, consumers, contracts, tests, active checks, runtime edges, and generated or framework-owned areas. Read every file you will change in full, continuing through tool chunks when needed. Search confirms callers and edges but does not replace understanding the owner.

Shape ownership

  1. Resist append bias. Before adding a branch, field, handler, test, or helper, decide whether it strengthens the current owner or reveals another responsibility.
  2. Exclude generated, vendored, and framework-owned files from size judgment unless maintained directly.
  3. Treat a maintained file above roughly 300 lines as a godfile candidate, not an automatic failure. Inspect mixed concerns, unrelated change reasons, central-path growth, hidden state, and agent readability. Cohesive stable tables, protocols, and algorithms may remain large. Growing mixed-responsibility files may not.
  4. Treat a function above roughly 50 lines as a review candidate. Split across ownership, abstraction level, state transition, effect, or failure-policy boundaries. Keep coherent algorithms and state machines together when extraction hides ordering.
  5. Collapse one-use helpers, wrapper factories, interfaces, and microfiles that add navigation without owning a decision, contract, translation, effect, lifecycle, resilience, security, or diagnostic boundary.

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

codebase-hygiene is a skill published in the GitHub repository IgorWarzocha/howaboua-pi-stuff (346 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 1,239 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
