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 dirnbauer/webconsulting-skills at 98b562d70f.

    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

This skill, authored by dirnbauer, provides code refactoring capabilities. It allows you to improve existing code's structure and readability without changing its external behavior. This can involve simplifying complex logic, improving variable names, or extracting reusable components from larger blocks of code.

When to use it

  • Cleaning up legacy code: Refactor older codebases that have become difficult to understand and maintain.
  • Improving code quality: Enhance the overall design and structure of a project for better performance and scalability.
  • Preparing for new features: Simplify existing code before adding new functionality, making development easier.
  • Reducing technical debt: Address accumulated shortcuts and compromises in the codebase to improve long-term maintainability.

Key capabilities

  • Code refactoring
  • Improving code structure
  • Enhancing readability
  • Simplifying complex logic

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this Python function to use more descriptive variable names."
  • "Can you extract this duplicated code block into a reusable function?"
  • "Please simplify the conditional statements in this JavaScript file."

Tips & gotchas

This skill likely requires providing the AI agent with access to the codebase being refactored. Be sure to review any changes carefully, as automated refactoring can sometimes introduce subtle errors.
