ag-kit: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/clean-code/SKILL.md

clean-code is a skill for Claude Code from vudovn/ag-kit. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,708 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A concise set of coding standards focused on simple solutions and clear responsibilities. It covers naming, function size, avoiding duplication, limiting side effects, and not building unused features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing functions, classes, names, comments, and project structure. It is intended for practical day-to-day coding decisions.
Why use it?
It helps keep code readable and easier to change as a project grows. The rules reduce unnecessary complexity and repeated code.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is vudovn/ag-kit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ag-kit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ag-kit configures →

About the project

AG Kit is a toolkit that gives Google Antigravity coding agents a structured workspace with rules, skills, specialist agents, workflows, persistent memory, orchestration, MCP guidance, and a safety hook. It is for building and operating agent workflows in Antigravity, and its catalogue entries provide parts of that workspace contract.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

clean-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 1mo 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.

Clean Code - Pragmatic AI Coding Standards

CRITICAL SKILL - Be concise, direct, and solution-focused.


Core Principles

Principle Rule
SRP Single Responsibility - each function/class does ONE thing
DRY Don't Repeat Yourself - extract duplicates, reuse
KISS Keep It Simple - simplest solution that works
YAGNI You Aren't Gonna Need It - don't build unused features
Boy Scout Leave code cleaner than you found it

Naming Rules

Element Convention
Variables Reveal intent: userCount not n
Functions Verb + noun: getUserById() not user()
Booleans Question form: isActive, hasPermission, canEdit
Constants SCREAMING_SNAKE: MAX_RETRY_COUNT

Rule: If you need a comment to explain a name, rename it.


Function Rules

Rule Description
Small Max 20 lines, ideally 5-10
One Thing Does one thing, does it well
One Level One level of abstraction per function
Few Args Max 3 arguments, prefer 0-2
No Side Effects Don't mutate inputs unexpectedly

Code Structure

Pattern Apply
Guard Clauses Early returns for edge cases
Flat > Nested Avoid deep nesting (max 2 levels)
Composition Small functions composed together
Colocation Keep related code close

AI Coding Style

Situation Action
User asks for feature Write it directly
User reports bug Fix it, don't explain
No clear requirement Ask, don't assume

Anti-Patterns (DON'T)

❌ Pattern ✅ Fix
Comment every line Delete obvious comments
Helper for one-liner Inline the code
Factory for 2 objects Direct instantiation
utils.ts with 1 function Put code where used
"First we import..." Just write code
Deep nesting Guard clauses
Magic numbers Named constants
God functions Split by responsibility

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.

clean-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository vudovn/ag-kit (8,199 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,708 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
