codebase-health-assessment
Skill9 starsChanged 4 months agoLicence not identifiedView on GitHub
Systematic assessment of a codebase's living, dead, and fossil modules — scan, categorize, prioritize, act. Use when the user says "audit the codebase", "find dead code", "what can we delete", "clean up the repo", "module archaeology", "codebase health", "what's unused", "technical debt inventory", or when a project has accumulated enough history that nobody is sure which modules are live and which are orphaned. Also trigger when the user asks "is this module still used?", "why do we have two copies of X?", or "what would break if I deleted Y?". Complements software-archaeology (which governs safe *modification* of individual modules) — this skill governs the *assessment* phase that decides which modules deserve that careful modification, which are candidates for bulk removal, and which need to be left alone with documentation. If software-archaeology is the surgeon, this skill is the triage nurse.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
12 rules. About 0 are common, 10 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈10
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
The licence could not be identified — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
