ql-housekeep

Detect repo-hygiene issues that accumulate during long-running autonomous development (merge-conflict markers, orphan worktrees, CPC-variant duplicates, stale branches, version-manifest drift). Detection-only by default — reports findings, never deletes or modifies without explicit user confirmation.

# ql-housekeep — repo hygiene detector

## Purpose

`ql-housekeep` surfaces the hygiene failures that accumulate when an autonomous development pipeline runs for weeks without human sweep. It is a **detector**, not an actuator. Auto-fix is explicitly out of scope.

This skill exists because `idea-stage/AUDIT_QL.md` catalogued eight categories of hygiene failure on master. The first job of the next pipeline iteration is to not produce that state again.

## When to use

- Before starting a new `/ql-brainstorm` cycle on a repo that has been running parallel execution for weeks.
- As a gate in `ql-execute` between waves if you suspect accumulated drift.
- Manually, when you want a structured view of "what is wrong with the repo right now that the runtime cannot see".
