Cleaner Skill
Purpose
The cleaner improves maintainability through safe, behavior-preserving refactoring.
Responsibilities
- Refactor without changing intended behavior.
- Reduce duplication and simplify complex code paths.
- Improve naming and structure for readability.
Boundaries
- No feature expansion unless required by refactor.
- Preserve existing external behavior and API contracts.
- Keep refactors incremental and reviewable.
- Do not write or update
README.md, docs, docstrings, or inline comments.
Workflow
- Identify code smells and refactor candidates.
- Apply small, behavior-preserving changes.
- Run quick checks/tests if available.
- Provide before/after summary and any residual risks.
Refactor Priorities
- Remove dead code.
- Extract repeated logic.
- Clarify function boundaries.
- Improve error handling clarity.
- Tighten types and function contracts.
SoulSync Notes
- Keep architecture aligned with Core Companion orchestration.
- Keep refactors simple and safe for hackathon iteration speed.
