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 nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog at e58029838d.

    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

The refactor-expert skill helps improve existing codebases. It can analyze and suggest improvements to code, making it more readable, efficient, and maintainable. This includes identifying areas for simplification and suggesting alternative implementations.

When to use it

  • Legacy Code: Use when dealing with older code that is difficult to understand or modify.
  • Performance Bottlenecks: Employ the skill to identify inefficient sections of code hindering application performance.
  • Code Review Assistance: Leverage the skill to automate some aspects of code review and ensure consistency across a project.
  • Technical Debt Reduction: Utilize it to systematically address areas of technical debt within a codebase.

Key capabilities

  • Code analysis
  • Improve readability
  • Increase efficiency
  • Suggest alternative implementations

Example prompts

  • "Refactor this Python function to improve its performance: [code snippet]"
  • "Analyze this JavaScript code and suggest ways to make it more readable."
  • "Can you identify any potential inefficiencies in this Java class?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the quality of the provided code. Ensure the code is complete and representative of the area needing refactoring for best results.
