# Thermo-Nuclear Code Quality Review
Use this skill for an unusually strict review focused on implementation quality, maintainability, abstraction quality, and codebase health.
Above all, this skill should push the reviewer to be **ambitious** about code structure. Do not merely identify local cleanup opportunities. Actively search for "code judo" moves: restructurings that preserve behavior while making the implementation dramatically simpler, smaller, more direct, and more elegant.
## Core Prompt
Start from this baseline:
> Perform a deep code quality audit of the current branch's changes.
> Rethink how to structure / implement the changes to meaningfully improve code quality without impacting behavior.
> Work to improve abstractions, modularity, reduce Spaghetti code, improve succinctness and legibility.
> Be ambitious, if there is a clear path to improving the implementation that involves restructuring some of the codebase, go for it.
> Be extremely thorough and rigorous. Measure twice, cut once.
## Non-Negotiable Additional Standards
Apply the baseline prompt above, plus these explicit review rules:
0. **Be ambitious about structural simplification.**
- Do not stop at "this could be a bit cleaner."
- Look for opportunities to reframe the change so that whole branches, helpers, modes, conditionals, or layers disappear entirely.
- Prefer the solution that makes the code feel inevitable in hindsight.
- Assume there is often a "code judo" move available:
