Automates Python code refactoring tasks like extracting methods & improving readability based on established best practices.

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add mintuz/skills --skill refactoring -a claude-code
  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

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 mintuz/claude-plugins at 6461553094.

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

Scanned
1 file, 193 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 you improve existing code. It can identify areas of inefficiency, reduce complexity, and enhance readability without changing the external behavior of the software. The tool aims to restructure code for better maintainability and performance.

When to use it

  • You have a large codebase that is difficult to understand or modify.
  • A specific function or module is performing poorly and needs optimization.
  • You want to modernize legacy code to improve its structure and reduce technical debt.
  • You're preparing code for review and want to ensure it adheres to best practices.

Key capabilities

  • Code Restructuring
  • Efficiency Improvement
  • Readability Enhancement
  • Maintainability Optimization

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this Python function to improve its readability: [code snippet]"
  • "Can you suggest ways to optimize this JavaScript code for performance? [code snippet]"
  • "Please refactor this Java class, focusing on reducing complexity. [code snippet]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends heavily on the quality and clarity of the provided code. Ensure the code is properly formatted and includes sufficient context for accurate refactoring suggestions.
