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 liuchiawei/agent-skills at f5a7853d0d.

    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 refactors code to improve readability and maintainability. It aims to clean up existing codebases, reducing technical debt and making them easier for developers to understand and modify. The agent can identify areas of complex or poorly structured code and apply appropriate refactoring techniques.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebase Cleanup: Use when dealing with older projects that have accumulated messy or hard-to-understand code.
  • Improving Developer Onboarding: Refactor code to make it easier for new team members to grasp the project's structure and logic.
  • Preparing for Feature Development: Clean up existing code before adding new features, reducing the risk of introducing bugs and simplifying future development.
  • Reducing Technical Debt: Proactively address areas of poor code quality to prevent long-term maintenance issues.

Key capabilities

  • Code refactoring
  • Readability improvement
  • Maintainability enhancement
  • Technical debt reduction

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this Python function to improve its readability." (followed by the function's code)
  • "Clean up this Java class and simplify its logic." (followed by the class’s code)
  • “Identify and refactor any duplicated code in this file.” (followed by the filename)

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when provided with well-defined code snippets or files. It's beneficial to specify the programming language being used for accurate refactoring.
