During March 2025, Tom Smith led the migration of code quality tooling for the chef/chef repository, focusing on replacing the legacy chefstyle linter with Cookstyle to modernize code style enforcement. He updated CI/CD pipelines, Gemfiles, and documentation to align with the new linting standards, and removed obsolete rake tasks to streamline maintenance. Addressing issues surfaced by newly enabled Cookstyle cops, Tom ensured a stable, green CI and consistent code quality across the codebase. His work leveraged Ruby, YAML, and configuration management skills, resulting in a more maintainable repository and clearer development guidelines for the chef/chef project.
