Code Quality Skill

Use this skill for code hygiene, quality gates, and pre-commit workflows.

Trigger keywords: code quality, lint, mypy, ruff, pytest, pre-commit, type checking, clean code, fix errors

Quick Workflow

Copy# Before EVERY commit:
uv run ruff check --fix     # Lint + autofix
uv run ruff format          # Format code
uv run mypy src/            # Type checking
uv run pytest               # Run tests

# Only commit when ALL checks pass
git commit -m "..."

Philosophy

CRITICAL: Fix ALL errors with every commit, regardless of when introduced.

• Errors compound over time
• Pre-existing errors are YOUR responsibility when touching related code
• Clean as you go - leave code better than you found it
• Every commit should reduce technical debt, not accumulate it

Quality Gates

The deployment script (deploy-all.sh) blocks on:

• Mypy type errors
• Ruff lint errors
• Test failures

This is intentional - maintain quality gates.

Tools Reference

Ruff (Linting + Formatting)

Copy# Check for issues
uv run ruff check

# Check and auto-fix
uv run ruff check --fix

# Format code
uv run ruff format

# Check specific files
uv run ruff check src/htmlgraph/models.py

Mypy (Type Checking)

Copy# Check all source
uv run mypy src/

# Check specific module
uv run mypy src/htmlgraph/sdk.py

# Ignore missing imports
uv run mypy src/ --ignore-missing-imports

Pytest (Testing)

Copy# Run all tests
uv run pytest

# Verbose output
uv run pytest -v

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/test_sdk.py

# Run specific test
uv run pytest tests/test_sdk.py::test_feature_create

Common Fix Patterns

Type Errors

Copy# Before (type error)
def get_user(id):
    return db.query(id)

# After (typed)
def get_user(id: str) -> User | None:
    return db.query(id)

Lint Errors

Copy# Before (unused import)
import os
import sys
x = 1

# After (clean)
x = 1

Format Issues

Copy# Auto-fix all formatting
uv run ruff format

Integration with HtmlGraph

Track quality improvements:

Copyfrom htmlgraph import SDK
sdk = SDK(agent='code-quality')

spike = sdk.spikes.create('Fix mypy errors in models.py') \
    .set_findings("""
    Fixed 3 type errors:
    - Added return type to get_user()
    - Fixed Optional annotation on config
    - Added type hints to utility functions
    """) \
    .save()

Remember: Fixing errors immediately is faster than letting them accumulate.
