Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned ab300819/skills at 468d9ed87c.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The refactor skill improves existing code by restructuring and simplifying it without changing its external behavior. It can identify areas of duplication, improve readability through better naming conventions, and optimize performance where possible. This skill aims to make codebase maintenance easier and more efficient for developers.

When to use it

  • You have a large, complex function that is difficult to understand or maintain.
  • You notice significant code duplication across multiple files or modules.
  • A colleague asks you to improve the structure of an existing module before adding new features.
  • You want to prepare legacy code for integration with newer systems or libraries.

Key capabilities

  • Code restructuring
  • Duplication identification
  • Readability improvement
  • Performance optimization (where applicable)

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this function to improve its readability and reduce complexity: [code snippet]"
  • "Identify and eliminate code duplication in the payments module."
  • "Can you refactor this class to follow a more modern design pattern?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill is most effective with well-documented, albeit complex, code. It's not designed for generating entirely new code from scratch.
