Repositoryunclebob/ub-modeTool
Coding agents frequently produce superficial fixes or poorly structured code without adequate test rigor. ub-mode guides agents into rigorous software engineering workflows supported by measurable thresholds for complexity, duplication, and mutant survival.
The project tackles the reliability and maintainability gaps common in agent-written code by translating software craftsmanship paradigms into agent instructions paired with quantitative checks. In terms of maturity, it consists primarily of an orchestrating SKILL.md file alongside linked companion tools, counting 701 stars and 33 forks without an explicitly defined license. It targets software engineers using AI coding assistants (such as Claude, Cursor, or Grok) who want deterministic quality gates and disciplined TDD workflows.

Repository:coleam00/skills
The GitHub repository 'coleam00/skills' provides a collection of 33 practical skills designed for AI coding agents such as Claude Code. Instead of maintaining a monolithic 2,000-line CLAUDE.md instruction file, each skill resides in a standalone folder with a SKILL.md file and is loaded on demand. The set revolves around a standard development cycle: prime, plan, implement, validate, review, commit, and PR.
