Install target

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 ansteorra/kmp at 94fe8b28fc.

    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 ansteorra-refactor skill helps improve existing code by restructuring and simplifying it. It can identify areas of redundancy, optimize algorithms for better performance, and enhance overall code readability without changing its functionality. This skill is designed to make maintenance easier and reduce the likelihood of introducing bugs during future modifications.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebases: To modernize and improve older code that's difficult to understand or maintain.
  • Performance Bottlenecks: Identify and optimize slow-running functions within a program.
  • Code Reviews: To automatically suggest improvements during code review processes, ensuring consistent coding standards.
  • Technical Debt Reduction: To systematically address areas of technical debt by improving the design and structure of existing code.

Key capabilities

  • Code Restructuring
  • Algorithm Optimization
  • Redundancy Identification
  • Readability Enhancement

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this Python function to improve its performance: [code snippet]"
  • "Can you suggest ways to simplify and restructure this JavaScript code block?"
  • "Analyze this Java class for potential areas of improvement in terms of design and readability."

Tips & gotchas

The skill is most effective when provided with well-formatted, complete code snippets. It's also important to review the suggested changes carefully before applying them, as automated refactoring can sometimes introduce unexpected issues.
