⚠ The author changed this skill after we tested it. The verdict below describes the version we ran on Jul 17, 2026; it's queued for a re-test.
Ran its Mode A plus Mode B audit against a real multi-project repo: the prescribed greps surfaced a Spanish table-header block duplicated 13 times across audit docs, doc versions (v1.5) with zero matching git tags, and a README tool-count claim (149 actions) that differs from the 154 public action functions in the code — none of which an unguided baseline review caught. One real flaw: the cross-link check run verbatim resolves paths from the repo root instead of per file, which produced 11 false 'broken link' reports until corrected. The Chinese-language SKILL.md is no barrier in practice; its Latin-script trigger words (codebase, repo audit, review, prompt) fire from English requests.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Code Cleanup Helper does
A prompt-only audit skill with two modes: Mode A scans a codebase, SKILL.md, or prompt template for duplicated content, naming inconsistency, extractable modules, and over-long files; Mode B runs a pre-release repo audit covering release/tag consistency, cross-link integrity, version-mention drift, and open-source handoff health. Always reports first and never modifies files without confirmation. Triggers on cleanup, refactor, deduplication, and repo-audit requests; the SKILL.md is written in Chinese but fires fine from English prompts.
