This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/clean-code from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Clean Code Skill This skill embodies the principles of "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob). Use it to transform "code that works" into "code that is clean."
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: 🧠 Core Philosophy, 1. Meaningful Names, 2. Functions, 3. Comments, 4. Formatting, 5. Objects and Data Structures.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
Writing new code: To ensure high quality from the start.
Reviewing Pull Requests: To provide constructive, principle-based feedback.
Refactoring legacy code: To identify and remove code smells.
Improving team standards: To align on industry-standard best practices.
Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: This skill embodies the principles of "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob). Use it to transform "code that works" into "code that is clean.".
Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
Operating Table
Situation
Start here
Why it matters
First-time use
metadata.json
Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review
ORIGIN.md
Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution
SKILL.md
Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context
SKILL.md
Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: 🧠 Core Philosophy
"Code is clean if it can be read, and enhanced by a developer other than its original author." — Grady Booch
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @clean-code to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @clean-code against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @clean-code for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @clean-code using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/clean-code, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes
Imported: 1. Meaningful Names
Use Intention-Revealing Names: elapsedTimeInDays instead of d.
Avoid Disinformation: Don't use accountList if it's actually a Map.
Make Meaningful Distinctions: Avoid ProductData vs ProductInfo.
Use Pronounceable/Searchable Names: Avoid genymdhms.
Class Names: Use nouns (Customer, WikiPage). Avoid Manager, Data.
Method Names: Use verbs (postPayment, deletePage).
Imported: 2. Functions
Small!: Functions should be shorter than you think.
Do One Thing: A function should do only one thing, and do it well.
One Level of Abstraction: Don't mix high-level business logic with low-level details (like regex).
Descriptive Names: isPasswordValid is better than check.
Arguments: 0 is ideal, 1-2 is okay, 3+ requires a very strong justification.
No Side Effects: Functions shouldn't secretly change global state.
Imported: 3. Comments
Don't Comment Bad Code—Rewrite It: Most comments are a sign of failure to express ourselves in code.
Explain Yourself in Code:
# Check if employee is eligible for full benefitsif employee.flags & HOURLY and employee.age > 65:
vs
if employee.isEligibleForFullBenefits():
Good Comments: Legal, Informative (regex intent), Clarification (external libraries), TODOs.
Bad Comments: Mumbling, Redundant, Misleading, Mandated, Noise, Position Markers.
Imported: 4. Formatting
The Newspaper Metaphor: High-level concepts at the top, details at the bottom.
Vertical Density: Related lines should be close to each other.
Distance: Variables should be declared near their usage.
Indentation: Essential for structural readability.
Imported: 5. Objects and Data Structures
Data Abstraction: Hide the implementation behind interfaces.
The Law of Demeter: A module should not know about the innards of the objects it manipulates. Avoid a.getB().getC().doSomething().
Data Transfer Objects (DTO): Classes with public variables and no functions.
Imported: 6. Error Handling
Use Exceptions instead of Return Codes: Keeps logic clean.
Write Try-Catch-Finally First: Defines the scope of the operation.
Don't Return Null: It forces the caller to check for null every time.
Don't Pass Null: Leads to NullPointerException.
Imported: 7. Unit Tests
The Three Laws of TDD:
Don't write production code until you have a failing unit test.
Don't write more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail.
Don't write more production code than is sufficient to pass the failing test.
