Comment Quality Reviewer
Finds code comments written as change history and rewrites them into durable invariants or rationale.

What it does
- Scans only the files you point it at, flagging comments whose meaning depends on an unstated earlier revision ("now uses JWT", "fixed retry handling", "faster than before").
- Treats
references/temporal-keywords.mdas a candidate list, not a verdict: it checks comment syntax and surrounding code, and skips string literals and identifiers. - Preserves legal headers, generated markers, required API/version annotations, and deprecation notices that still carry a useful migration contract.
- For each finding: read the enclosing function → decide whether the durable fact is behavior, rationale, or neither → rewrite or delete → report
file:line, original, replacement, and the inferred invariant. - Refuses to invent rationale from code shape; ambiguous cases are left alone and reported. Edits are applied only on request, then re-read.
Who it's for
- Developers inheriting a legacy codebase where comments no longer match behavior.
- Tech leads adding comment hygiene to a review checklist.
- Any engineer, in any language or stack, reducing documentation debt.
Examples
- "Review comments in src/auth" → suggests turning "// now uses JWT instead of sessions" into "// Tokens are RS256-signed JWTs; sessions are unused".
- Scan only files in a PR diff and emit a
file:linelist to paste into review comments. - For "// fixed the race condition", if no durable rationale can be inferred, leave it and flag the ambiguity instead of guessing.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notque/vexjoy-agent/HEAD/skills/code-quality/comment-quality/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/code-quality/comment-quality folder from the GitHub repo notque/vexjoy-agent into my ~/.claude/skills/comment-quality/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/notque/vexjoy-agent.git /tmp/vexjoy-agent && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/vexjoy-agent/skills/code-quality/comment-quality ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/notque/vexjoy-agent.git - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the whole skill folder (so the references file comes along):
cp -r vexjoy-agent/skills/code-quality/comment-quality ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify
~/.claude/skills/comment-quality/containsSKILL.mdandreferences/temporal-keywords.md. - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "review the comment quality of these files". Note the skill sets
user-invocable: false, so it is normally routed in by a broader code-review flow rather than called by name.
