sweep-comments
Skill6 starsChanged 3 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Hold code comments and docstrings to a strict quality bar. Use whenever writing or editing comments — adding a comment to new code, being asked to "document this", "add comments", or "make this reviewer-ready" — and as a dedicated staleness sweep before opening or updating a pull request. Symptoms that this skill applies: comments that restate the adjacent code, the same design explanation sprinkled across several sites, docstring boilerplate on small internal helpers, derivation walkthroughs, war-story narration, comments describing behavior a design pivot has since deleted, commented-out code kept "just in case", ticketless TODOs, banner comments, docstrings written only to silence a linter, an invariant reduced to a pointer at the very site where a wrong edit would silently break it, or a comment asserting what the code does, has, or lacks that nobody checked against the code.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
14 rules. About 0 are common, 13 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈13
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — 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.
