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 proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe at 124d8c735e.

    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 applies common refactoring patterns to improve code quality. It can identify and apply patterns like Extract Method, Replace Conditional with Polymorphism, and Introduce Parameter Object. The goal is to make code more readable, maintainable, and extensible by restructuring existing logic without changing its external behavior.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebase Improvement: Refactor a large, monolithic function into smaller, more manageable pieces.
  • Code Smell Remediation: Address specific code smells like long methods or duplicated code blocks.
  • Testability Enhancement: Make code easier to test by simplifying complex logic and reducing dependencies.
  • Design Pattern Implementation: Introduce design patterns where appropriate to improve structure and flexibility.

Key capabilities

  • Extract Method
  • Replace Conditional with Polymorphism
  • Introduce Parameter Object

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this function using the Extract Method pattern: [code snippet]"
  • "Apply a refactoring pattern to reduce complexity in this code block: [code snippet]"
  • "Can you suggest and apply a design pattern to improve the structure of this class? [class definition]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires clear, well-defined code as input. It's most effective when dealing with relatively small, focused sections of code rather than entire projects.
