no-comments

no-comments is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards. It costs 20 tokens per session (566 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of no-comments, MIT.

A code-review workflow for finding unnecessary comments and deciding which accepted findings should be fixed or encoded as enforceable rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the current code diff, review comment findings, remove outdated guidance, and audit lint or type-check suppressions.
Why use it?
It removes comments that merely describe constraints the code or tools should enforce, while preserving comments that explain unchangeable facts.

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

no-comments 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 2d 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 — 25 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

No comments

Spawn Comment Sicko. Act on accepted findings.

Defer to Comment Sicko's fresh perspective.

Scope

Use the caller's files or diff. Otherwise use the current diff against the base branch, default main, including the working tree.

Steps

  1. Spawn Task with subagent_type: "Comment Sicko". Pass the scope. Do not restate its rules.
  2. Inspect its report and diff. Reject application-code edits, scope escapes, exception-protected deletions, misstated MUST KILL reasons, and flags that treat kept intentional code as guilty. Reshape flags on our-code surprises stay actionable. Do not restore those comments. A keep survives only with proof it is about something we cannot change. Audit missed scoped lint and TypeScript suppressions. Correctness or safety suppressions stay actionable MUST KILLs. Restore deletions only with exact exceptions and scoped proof. Before accepting thin IMPORTANT or do not remove kills or keeps, run /how or /why on their symbol. If a kill is ambiguous, do not restore. If a keep is refuted or still ambiguous, delete it. Revert and rerun one rejected report with the failure named. Reject a second, report it open, and fail /no-comments.
  3. Fix trivial accepted flags directly by deleting a dead path, dropping a parameter, or using the real API. If any fix needs a shape, run /architect once for the accepted set and surrounding code. Stop at the sketch. Architect shapes. Step 4 implements.
  4. Implement the smallest root-cause fix in scope. Remove every named workaround. If the root cause is out of scope, land the smallest in-scope fix and report the rest open. The principle-fix-root-causes and principle-redesign-from-first-principles skills guide intent only. Neither authorizes widening the fence nor fixing instances outside it. Never bolt on symptom guards.
  5. Constraint comments say do not remove, do not change wording, or talk to X before changing. Leave keeps about things we cannot change. Offer the cheapest in-scope type, runtime, test, or CI lint. Wait for interactive approval. Unattended and eval require caller pre-approval. If approved, encode then delete. Otherwise delete, report the constraint open, and sketch out-of-scope work.
  6. Report the deletion count, restored comments, reruns, architect sketch, fixes, encoding offers, encodings, unenforced constraints, and other open work.

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.
