quality

quality is a skill for Claude Code from zircote-plugins/sdlc-quality. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,404 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules and guidance for code formatting, linting, error handling, unsafe code, and documentation comments. Linting means automatically checking source code for likely mistakes and style problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring formatters or lint rules, reviewing code quality, or setting standards for error handling and code comments.
Why use it?
It helps keep code consistent and catches common quality issues before changes are merged. It also defines formatting settings for several programming languages.

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

quality 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.

Code Quality Standards

Guidance for implementing code quality requirements including formatting, linting, error handling, and documentation.

Tooling

Available Tools: If using Claude Code, the pr-review-toolkit:code-reviewer agent can assess code quality against these standards. Use /pr-review-toolkit:review-pr for comprehensive PR review.

Formatting Requirements

Automated Formatting (MUST)

  1. All source code MUST pass automated formatting checks before merge
  2. Projects MUST define and commit formatting configuration files
  3. Import/include statements MUST be automatically sorted and grouped

Formatting Standards (MUST)

Standard Requirement
Line length MUST be 100 characters maximum
Indentation MUST be consistent (spaces or tabs, not mixed)
Line endings MUST be Unix-style (LF)
Trailing whitespace MUST be removed
Final newline MUST be present

Formatter Configuration by Language

Language Tool Config File
Rust rustfmt rustfmt.toml
TypeScript/JS Prettier .prettierrc
Python Black/Ruff pyproject.toml
Java google-java-format .editorconfig
Go gofmt (built-in)

Linting Requirements

Static Analysis (MUST)

  1. Projects MUST use static analysis tools appropriate to the language
  2. CI pipelines MUST run linting with warnings treated as errors
  3. Lint rule exceptions MUST be documented with justification

Lint Categories

Category Enforcement
Correctness MUST be enabled
Performance MUST be enabled
Style SHOULD be enabled
Complexity SHOULD be enabled
Documentation SHOULD be enabled
Pedantic SHOULD be enabled
Nursery/Experimental MAY be enabled

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.
