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 aspiers/ai-config at 6c29f2480e.

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

1 file, 29 lines
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

This skill helps refactor existing code to adhere to the "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle. It identifies duplicated code blocks and suggests ways to consolidate them into reusable functions or modules, improving maintainability and reducing redundancy. The agent can apply these changes directly or present suggestions for review before implementation.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebases: Refactor large, established codebases where duplication is common.
  • Code Reviews: Assist in identifying areas of repetitive code during code reviews.
  • New Feature Development: Ensure new features are implemented without introducing further redundancy.
  • Technical Debt Reduction: Systematically address and reduce technical debt related to duplicated code.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies duplicated code blocks.
  • Suggests consolidation into reusable functions/modules.
  • Can apply refactoring changes directly (with caution).
  • Presents suggested changes for review.

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this function to remove duplicate logic." [followed by the function's code]
  • "Find and suggest DRY improvements in this file." [followed by the filename]
  • "Can you identify any repeated patterns in this codebase?" [followed by a description of the codebase]

Tips & gotchas

The skill is most effective when provided with well-formatted, readable code. Large or complex files may require more careful review of suggested changes before implementation to avoid introducing errors.
