authoring-smell-rules

authoring-smell-rules is a Codebase audits & code health skill for AI agents, published by agentic-research in the mache repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates authoring-smell-rules C (70/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Add a find_smells rule to mache — a SQL query over the projected code graph that surfaces a code smell (duplication, complexity, dead code, drift). Use when adding or debugging a SmellRule in cmd/smell_rules.go or an external $MACHE_SMELL_RULES_DIR rule. Covers the SmellRule struct, the standalone-vs-_ast table capability split, severity/polarity, tags, and the adversarial-fixture test discipline.
