code-ratchets

code-ratchets is an Automated checks & quality gates skill for AI agents, published by AD-SDL in the MADSci repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates code-ratchets F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Implement code quality ratchets to prevent proliferation of deprecated patterns. Use when (1) migrating away from legacy code patterns, (2) enforcing gradual codebase improvements, (3) preventing copy-paste proliferation of deprecated practices, or (4) setting up pre-commit hooks to count and limit specific code patterns. A ratchet fails if pattern count exceeds OR falls below expected—ensuring patterns never increase and prompting updates when they decrease.
