clean-code-guard
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.
When to Use
Use this skill when reviewing generated or changed code before it ships. Activate it reactively after an agent writes, edits, or refactors production code — especially after a first implementation pass. Re-run the guard pass before delivery after each edit.
Compatibility
This is a portable instruction skill. It requires no MCP server, network access, API key, shell command, local executable, or bundled script. It can be used in any runtime that supports SKILL.md plus directly linked [references/](references/) files; agents/openai.yaml is lightweight display metadata.
This skill does not replace project linters, formatters, type checkers, or test runners. Use the project's own tools for mechanical verification; use this skill for the judgement layer around code quality and review.

accesslint-diff
Diff a live page's accessibility violations against a baseline — by default compares uncommitted changes (stash-based), or pass --branch [<name>] to diff against a branch. Reports only new violations introduced, violations fixed, and pre-existing count. Use `scan` for a full audit with no diffing.
accesslint-scan
Audit a live page for accessibility issues, locate each WCAG violation precisely, and return a selector-grounded fix worklist without editing.
accint-commitments
Triage acc's open promises and close them with honest real-world verdicts via acc_act(runtime="outcome").
accint-frames
Drain acc's deliberation queue — open/waiting brain_frames checkpointed by headless runs — via acc_act(runtime="continue").
accint-solve
Route a goal through acc's scored-memory loop via acc_act(runtime="solve"); deliberate any returned brain_frame and submit via continue.
ad-creative
Create, iterate, and scale paid ad creative for Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and similar platforms. Use when generating headlines, descriptions, primary text, or large sets of ad variations for testing and performance optimization.
