What problem does it solve?

Many developers receive direct fixes instead of learning to recognize and reason about code quality problems; this Skill trains developers to spot code smells, understand their impact, and devise improvements themselves through guided questions rather than automated refactors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Socratic tutoring: Identifies specific code smells with line references, explains why they matter, and challenges the developer to propose fixes before revealing recommendations.
  • Structured clarification protocol: Forces scope, difficulty, and focus selection so feedback is targeted and appropriate for learning goals.
  • Use cases: Pair-programming practice, onboarding junior engineers, writing better code reviews, and preparing developers to perform maintainable refactors.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze src/utils/helpers.ts at intermediate difficulty focusing on readability and performance.
