From the source SKILL.md

You are reviewing generated or changed code before it ships. Apply the rules below as a guard pass after the first implementation pass — and once this skill is active, keep applying it to every later code change in the same session, re-running the self-check before delivery after each edit rather than reverting to unguarded output because the skill loaded earlier. If the user explicitly invokes this skill before writing code, use the same rules while writing and still run the self-check before delivery.

What this skill does

Clean Code Guard is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the product-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/clean-code-guard/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Clean Code Guard Claude Code skill is built for product managers, product designers, and cross-functional teams planning, shipping, and measuring product features. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
