End-of-milestone audit of a research project's Code/ folder against the paper and outputs.

  • Works in 6 steps: Layout detection → YAML schema extensions → Naming patterns → …
  • The user says code sweep

What it does

Code Sweep is an agent skill from aspi6246/Claude-Code-Skills-for-Academics. End-of-milestone audit of a research project's Code/ folder against the paper and outputs. Surfaces drift between scripts, YAML headers, the script registry, outputs, raw data, and the paper. Categorises findings as MUST-FIX or SUGGESTED and proposes fixes one at a time for the user to confirm. Use this skill when the user says "code sweep", "sweep the code", "run a code sweep", "audit my code folder", "check code freshness", "is everything up to date", "any stale outputs", "audit code consistency", or similar —…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Skills for academics.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says code sweep
  • Run a code sweep
  • Audit my code folder
  • Check code freshness

Example prompts

  • “code sweep”
  • “sweep the code”
  • “run a code sweep”
  • “/code-sweep”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Layout detection
  2. YAML schema extensions
  3. Naming patterns
  4. Checks
  5. Report
  6. Confirmation flow

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a8f112. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml, r and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Code Sweep loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 183 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,560 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~183
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,560 words (~3,441 tokens).
