Run an extremely strict maintainability review for abstraction quality, giant files, and spaghetti-condition growth. Use for a thermo-nuclear code quality review, thermonuclear review, deep code quality audit, or especially harsh maintainability review.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/cursor/plugins /tmp/plugins && ln -s /tmp/plugins/thermos/skills/thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review ~/.claude/skills/thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review
```

## From README

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.
