Use this skill when reviewing, writing, or refactoring code for cleanliness and maintainability following Robert C. Martin's (Uncle Bob) Clean Code principles. Triggers on code review, refactoring, naming improvements, function decomposition, applying SOLID principles, writing clean tests with TDD, identifying code smells, or improving error handling. Covers Clean Code, SOLID, and test-driven development.
Use when the user needs code quality review, refactoring guidance, SOLID principles application, or help identifying and fixing code smells. Triggers: code smell detection, refactoring planning, naming convention review, complexity reduction, DRY analysis, error handling improvement.
Use when writing, fixing, editing, or refactoring Python tests. Enforces Clean Code principles—fast tests, boundary coverage, one assert per test.
Writing maintainable code - readability principles, SOLID patterns applied pragmatically, and the judgment to know when rules should bendUse when "code quality, clean code, readability, naming, SOLID, refactor, code review, best practices, maintainable, how should I structure, clean-code, solid, readability, maintainability, code-review, naming, functions, principles" mentioned.
Run a strict clean-code review with a numeric score and pass/fail gate. Use when a user asks for a code review, wants Uncle Bob-style feedback, or wants unnecessary abstractions removed with SOLID/KISS discipline.
Manage software complexity through deep modules, information hiding, and strategic programming. Use when the user mentions "module design", "API too complex", "shallow class", "complexity budget", or "strategic vs tactical". Covers deep vs shallow modules, red flags for complexity, and comments as design documentation. For code quality, see clean-code. For boundaries, see clean-architecture.
Apply named refactoring transformations to improve code structure without changing behavior. Use when the user mentions "refactor this", "code smells", "extract method", "replace conditional", or "technical debt". Covers smell-driven refactoring, safe transformation sequences, and testing guards. For code quality foundations, see clean-code. For managing complexity, see software-design-philosophy.
Apply meta-principles of software craftsmanship: DRY, orthogonality, tracer bullets, and design by contract. Use when the user mentions "best practices", "pragmatic approach", "broken windows", "tracer bullet", or "software craftsmanship". Covers estimation, domain languages, and reversibility. For code-level quality, see clean-code. For refactoring techniques, see refactoring-patterns.
Structure software around the Dependency Rule: source code dependencies point inward from frameworks to use cases to entities. Use when the user mentions "architecture layers", "dependency rule", "ports and adapters", "hexagonal architecture", or "use case boundary". Covers component principles, boundaries, and SOLID. For code quality, see clean-code. For domain modeling, see domain-driven-design.
Unified router for 7 canonical software engineering knowledge bases. Routes queries to appropriate underlying skills: gof-patterns (23 design patterns), clrs-algorithms (40 data structures), clean-code (SOLID + practices), ddia (distributed systems), pragmatic-programmer (craftsmanship), ddd (domain modeling), sicp (CS fundamentals). Auto-activates for architecture decisions, pattern selection, algorithm choice, and system design.
Biome linter and formatter for JavaScript/TypeScript. Covers configuration, rules, and integration patterns. Replaces ESLint + Prettier for faster development experience. USE WHEN: user mentions "biome", "linting", "formatting", "code style", "biome.json", asks about "setup linter", "format code", "migrate from ESLint", "migrate from Prettier", "biome rules", "biome configuration" DO NOT USE FOR: ESLint configuration - Biome is an ESLint replacement, Prettier configuration - Biome is a Prettier replacement, TypeScript compilation - use TypeScript compiler, Code quality principles - use `clean-code` skill
Use this skill when writing code, implementing features, refactoring, planning architecture, designing systems, reviewing code, or debugging. This skill transforms junior-level code into senior-engineer quality software through SOLID principles, TDD, clean code practices, and professional software design.
