code-hygiene

code-hygiene is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jnPiyush/AgentX. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,305 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A quality check for AI-assisted code that looks for unnecessary complexity, outdated comments, and generic-looking interface patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it on changed files, a directory, or the whole recent change set; it can also apply fixes that are considered safe.
Why use it?
It helps clean up code after a feature or long AI coding session, before those problems reach review or become harder to maintain.

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

code-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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Hygiene Sweep

Three parallel analysis passes that detect and report common quality issues from AI-assisted coding -- over-engineering, stale or filler comments, and generic UI patterns that signal templated output.

Cleanup Boundary

Cosmetic lint/style findings are LOW and do not block local loop/review Done Criteria. Report file/line, original tool severity, suggestion and scope; do not clean up automatically. The owning agent explicitly asks whether the user wants the findings fixed and waits. No response or a decline means leave them unchanged.

Build/type failures and verified correctness, security, reliability or accessibility defects are not cosmetic lint; classify them separately by impact. Do not waive independent CI/commit/release gates. Full policy: .github/AGENT-PROTOCOL.md section 4.

When to Use

  • After completing a feature -- sweep before PR
  • Before code review -- pre-clean changed files
  • When code feels templated or over-abstracted
  • Periodic codebase hygiene on a directory
  • After a long AI-assisted session to audit quality

Argument Parsing

Parse arguments for these tokens:

Token Example Effect
fix Explicit request to fix the listed cleanup scope Apply only after affirmative approval; a role name, quoted/negated word or general bug-fix task is not consent
<path> src/components/ Scope to specific file or directory
(none) Default Analyze all files changed since the base branch

Execution Flow

Stage 1: Determine Scope

If a file or directory path is provided: Scope to that path. Use glob to list all code files under it.

If no argument (default): Determine changed files since the base branch:

BASE=$(git merge-base HEAD origin/main 2>/dev/null || git merge-base HEAD origin/master 2>/dev/null || echo "HEAD~10")
git diff --name-only $BASE

Classify files in scope:

File extensions Passes to run
.ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .py, .go, .rb, .rs, .java, .cs, .swift, .kt Code Quality + Comment Quality
.css, .scss, .less, .tsx, .jsx, .html, .vue, .svelte + UI Quality
.json, .yaml, .yml, .toml, .md Code Quality + Comment Quality only

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.
