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 claudchereji/visualverses at 5971350ec1.

    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 claudchereji-refactoring-specialist skill analyzes and refactors existing code to improve its readability, maintainability, and efficiency. It can identify areas for improvement such as duplicated code blocks, overly complex functions, or inefficient algorithms. The skill aims to produce cleaner, more robust code while preserving the original functionality.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebase Cleanup: Improve an older codebase that is difficult to understand and maintain.
  • Performance Optimization: Identify and refactor performance bottlenecks in critical sections of your application.
  • Code Review Assistance: Use the skill to automatically suggest improvements during code review processes.
  • Technical Debt Reduction: Address accumulated technical debt by systematically improving existing code.

Key capabilities

  • Code analysis for identifying areas needing refactoring.
  • Automated refactoring of duplicated code blocks.
  • Simplification of complex functions and algorithms.
  • Preservation of original functionality during the refactoring process.

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this Python function to improve its readability: [paste code here]"
  • "Identify any duplicate code in this Java class and suggest a way to eliminate it: [paste code here]"
  • "Can you simplify this algorithm for calculating Fibonacci numbers? [paste code here]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the codebase that needs refactoring. While it preserves functionality, always review the suggested changes carefully before applying them to ensure they meet your specific requirements and don't introduce unintended consequences.
