# Clean Code
## Overview
Clean code is **code that respects its reader**: the next person (often you) should understand what
it does, why it exists, and how to change it safely — without archaeology. This isn't about
aesthetics; it's economics. Code is read far more than written, and every minute of confusion
compounds across the team.
This skill distills the durable practices: intention-revealing names, small focused units, flat
control flow, and abstractions that earn their keep.
