What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates "magic values" (unexplained numbers, strings, or booleans) in code, making it more readable, maintainable, and less prone to errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify and Replace Magic Numbers: Replaces unexplained numeric literals with named constants.
  • Enforce Named Constants for Strings: Ensures string literals representing statuses, types, or categories are replaced with enums or named constants.
  • Use Case: Reviewing a codebase, you find if elapsed > 86400:. This Skill helps transform it into if elapsed > SECONDS_PER_DAY: for clarity.

Quick Start

Review the provided Python code snippet for any magic values and suggest replacements with named constants or enums.
