> **Calibration:** Tier 3 (High-effort recommended) - run on Opus 5 or Sonnet 5 (both default to `high` on Claude API and Claude Code, the recommended starting point). Step up to `xhigh` for long-horizon or particularly demanding runs. Quality degrades at `low` effort and on legacy models (Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.8 fallback-graceful). See repository README for model compatibility.
A two-phase Skill for auditing and cleaning up Claude Code repositories. Phase 1 sweeps the repo across 14 categories of hygiene concern plus a cross-category 7-layer placement leak check, producing a `HYGIENE_REPORT.md`. Phase 2 reads `[APPROVED]` markers placed in that file and executes the marked findings under critic-gate composition with halt-on-failure discipline.
The Skill is the operational counterpart to `rootnode-cc-design`: design produces the environment, hygiene maintains it. Structural findings that warrant fix-recipe derivation route to `rootnode-cc-design` REMEDIATE rather than executing here. Process-abstraction candidates that recur across CC environments route as warrant evidence for `rootnode-skill-builder` v2.
## Important — five principles that govern Phase 2 behavior
These five principles override looser interpretations elsewhere in this Skill. They are enforcement-grade.
**1. Authorization is file-state-grounded.** Phase 2 reads `[APPROVED]` markers from the report file. Verbal authorization in chat is never a substitute. The Skill MAY act as a text e
