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 evan-acg/evan-skills at 3bd7aae352.

    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 helps you restructure and improve existing code. It can take a block of code as input, analyze its structure, and suggest or automatically apply refactoring changes to enhance readability, maintainability, and efficiency. The goal is to produce cleaner, more organized code while preserving functionality.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebases: Improve the clarity and organization of older code that's difficult to understand.
  • Code Reviews: Automate some aspects of code review by suggesting refactoring opportunities.
  • Technical Debt Reduction: Systematically address areas of technical debt within a project.
  • Preparing for New Features: Refactor existing code before adding new features to simplify the development process.

Key capabilities

  • Code analysis and suggestion generation
  • Automated refactoring application
  • Preservation of functionality during refactoring

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this Python function to improve its readability: [paste code here]"
  • "Suggest ways to simplify this JavaScript block: [paste code here]"
  • "Apply a common refactoring pattern (e.g., extract method) to this Java class: [paste code here]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill works best with well-defined code blocks. Providing clear context and specifying the desired refactoring style will improve results.
