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 snakeo/claude-debug-and-refactor-skills-plugin at e2e79df88e.

    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

The refactor:nestjs skill enables AI agents to analyze and restructure NestJS applications, focusing on improving code quality, architecture, and maintainability within the framework's specific conventions. It leverages deep understanding of the NestJS ecosystem to suggest meaningful changes that align with best practices for backend development.

When to use it

  • Legacy Code Modernization: Updating older NestJS projects to utilize newer decorators, dependency injection patterns, or module structures.
  • Architecture Optimization: Restructuring complex monolithic services into modular components or microservices aligned with NestJS standards.
  • Performance Tuning: Refactoring inefficient controllers or guards to reduce latency and improve scalability in high-traffic APIs.
  • Standardization: Enforcing consistent coding styles, error handling, and logging patterns across a distributed team's codebase.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes existing NestJS codebases for anti-patterns and architectural debt.
  • Generates refactored code that adheres to official NestJS guidelines and conventions.
  • Identifies opportunities to improve type safety, dependency injection, and module separation.
  • Suggests updates to maintain compatibility with the latest NestJS versions.

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this monolithic controller into separate modules following NestJS best practices."
  • "Optimize the dependency injection graph in this service layer for better testability."
  • "Update this legacy NestJS project to use the latest decorators and lifecycle hooks."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your project uses a supported version of NestJS, as the skill may not recognize deprecated APIs from older releases. Always review generated refactors manually, especially when dealing with complex business logic or custom modules.
