Agent skill
cleanup
Use when improving Python code quality through focused cleanup, smell investigation, modernization, and typed-boundary hardening. Invoke for refactoring tasks, dead code removal, or modernization passes.

Cleanup
Structured cleanup and modernization workflow.
Input
Scope: $ARGUMENTS
Goals
- Remove duplication and ambiguous ownership
- Investigate code smells instead of suppressing them
- Improve typed boundaries and reduce escape hatches
- Modernize only within the project's compatibility lane
- Preserve behavior unless explicitly changing it
Steps
1. Static Analysis
# Format
uv run ruff format $ARGUMENTS
# Auto-fix linting
uv run ruff check --fix $ARGUMENTS
uv run ruff check --fix --unsafe-fixes $ARGUMENTS
# Type check
uv run ty check $ARGUMENTS
# If project runs mypy: uv run mypy $ARGUMENTS
2. Smell Investigation
For each smell found:
- Identify the root cause (not just the symptom)
- Determine if it's a design smell or a quick fix
- Document the investigation and decision
3. Type Boundary Hardening
- Inventory all
Anyusage - Move boundary code to dedicated modules
- Add typed wrappers where raw data crosses boundaries
- Run typing policy checks
4. Modernization (within project lane)
- Modernize typing imports only if Python floor supports it
- Apply match-case where it reduces complexity
- Use walrus operator where it improves readability
- Only within the project's
requires-pythonconstraint
5. Verification
uv run ruff check $ARGUMENTS
uv run ruff format --check $ARGUMENTS
uv run ty check $ARGUMENTS
uv run pytest $ARGUMENTS -v

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
ccc
This skill should be used when code search is needed (whether explicitly requested or as part of completing a task), when indexing the codebase after changes, or when the user asks about ccc, cocoindex-code, or the codebase index. Trigger phrases include 'search the codebase', 'find code related to', 'update the index', 'ccc', 'cocoindex-code'.
agent-browser
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.
delegate
Quick delegation template for sub-agent prompts. Use when assigning work to a sub-agent, before invoking the Agent tool, or when preparing prompts for specialized agents. Provides the WHERE-WHAT-WHY framework. For comprehensive delegation guidance, activate the agent-orchestration how-to-delegate skill.
swarm-spawning
Spawn agents and teammates in Claude Code swarms. Use when choosing between subagents vs teammates, selecting agent types (Explore, Plan, general-purpose, plugin agents), configuring spawn backends (in-process, tmux, iterm2), or setting environment variables for spawned agents.
knowledge-explorer
Manage the research/ knowledge base (KB) of tool and library research entries. Use when browsing KB topics, adding new research entries, updating existing entries with dated revisions, fetching GitHub repo metadata into a draft KB entry, or migrating old-format entries to skill-spec frontmatter. Triggers on tasks like "what do we have on X", "add this to the KB", "update the KB entry for Y", "fetch github info for owner/repo", or "migrate old entries".
design-anti-patterns
Enforce anti-AI UI design rules based on the Uncodixfy methodology. Use when generating HTML, CSS, React, Vue, Svelte, or any frontend UI code. Prevents "Codex UI" — the generic AI aesthetic of soft gradients, floating panels, oversized rounded corners, glassmorphism, hero sections in dashboards, and decorative copy. Applies constraints from Linear/Raycast/Stripe/GitHub design philosophy: functional, honest, human-designed interfaces. Triggers on: UI generation, dashboard building, frontend component creation, CSS styling, landing page design, or any task producing visual interface code.
