What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents quality-degrading suppression pragmas and disguised evasions from silently hiding real type, lint, and coverage problems in production and test code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Suppression guardrails with an approval workflow: For any candidate pragma (e.g., type-ignore, noqa, eslint-disable, SuppressWarnings, no cover), the agent must fix first, then seek explicit user approval only after presenting the diagnostic, the correct fix, and proof no fix pattern resolves it.
• Anti-evasion enforcement: Blocks runtime “silencing” through catch-all exceptions or other practices that function like suppression, and rejects test-only plumbing added into production APIs.
• Line-level, rule-specific restrictions: Requires narrow, justified, line-level suppressions (no file-level disables, no broad blocks) and mandates the same approval flow for coverage gaps.
• Generated-code exclusion: Excludes build-generated artifacts from pragma auditing, steering fixes to generator/config or post-processing rather than modifying generated outputs.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to fix a failing lint/type/coverage finding without introducing any suppression during implementation work, and require an approval-only, line-level pragma if the diagnostic truly cannot be cleaned up.
