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 akiselev/qt-llm-template at 6855e82e0c.

    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 akiselev-refactor skill helps improve existing code by suggesting and applying cleanups, optimizations, and modernizations. It can identify areas of technical debt and propose solutions to enhance readability and maintainability. This skill aims to reduce complexity and increase the overall quality of a codebase.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebases: Use this when working with older code that needs modernization or simplification.
  • Technical Debt Reduction: Apply it to areas flagged for refactoring during code reviews or audits.
  • Improving Readability: Utilize the skill to make complex functions and modules easier to understand for other developers.
  • Performance Optimization: Identify potential bottlenecks and suggest optimizations within existing code blocks.

Key capabilities

  • Code cleanup suggestions
  • Optimization proposals
  • Modernization of code patterns
  • Identification of technical debt

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this function to improve its readability: [code snippet]"
  • "Suggest ways to optimize this block of code for performance: [code snippet]"
  • "Can you modernize this code using current best practices? [code snippet]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the quality and clarity of the provided code. It is recommended to provide specific sections or functions rather than entire files for optimal results.
