Description
Pragmatic coding standards - concise, direct, no over-engineering, no unnecessary comments
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with a coding assistant that may edit related files and may try to run local validation scripts from other installed skill folders. Review those referenced scripts separately, keep work under version control, and set clear limits if you only want specific files changed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: clean-code
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle primarily provides comprehensive guidelines for an AI agent on writing clean code and interacting with the user. While it grants broad `Read, Write, Edit` permissions, these are necessary for a code-modifying skill. The instructions for running local verification scripts (from other skill bundles) are heavily controlled, requiring the agent to capture, parse, summarize, and explicitly ask for user confirmation before acting on any script output. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection intended to subvert the agent for harmful purposes; instead, prompt instructions focus on enforcing coding standards and a controlled workflow.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Read, Write, and Edit are appropriate for a code-modifying standards skill, but the artifact also mandates running Python validation scripts even though execution is not declared in allowed tools and the scripts are not included for review.
Instruction Scope
The coding rules are clear, but the mandatory script section reaches outside the reviewed skill bundle into .agent/skills paths and runs checks over the project root before asking the user whether to fix results.
Install Mechanism
The installed artifact appears to be a single non-executable SKILL.md with no bundled scripts or installer, which limits direct install-time risk but makes the referenced verification scripts external dependencies.
Credentials
Broad file reading and editing, including updating dependent files, is proportionate for a clean-code coding assistant, but users should expect changes may span multiple related files.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background workers, credential access, network exfiltration, destructive commands, or privileged account use are present in the reviewed artifact.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install clean-code - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/clean-code - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Major update: The skill has been overhauled for strict, pragmatic coding standards and robust validation requirements.
- Expanded coding standards with explicit, actionable "Do" and "Don't" lists, core principles, and anti-pattern tables.
- Added mandatory self-checklists for agents to validate goal completion, code correctness, and coverage of all requirements before completing tasks.
- Introduced required validation script mapping per agent skill, with strict output handling, summarized reporting, and confirmation before fixing issues.
- Enforced concise, self-documenting code—no unnecessary comments or abstractions; small, focused functions; and direct responses to user requests.
- Updated rules for naming, code structure, and file editing responsibilities to prevent breakage and ensure maintainability.
- Raised skill priority to CRITICAL and version to 2.0.
