Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
The refactor-module skill enables AI agents to analyze and restructure existing code modules for improved readability, maintainability, and performance. It identifies redundant or inefficient patterns and suggests or applies clean, modern coding practices.
When to use it
- You need to improve the structure of a legacy codebase without changing its functionality.
- Your team wants to enforce consistent coding standards across multiple files.
- You're preparing code for integration with new systems or frameworks that require specific formatting.
- Performance bottlenecks are suspected in a module, and you want to optimize it.
Key capabilities
- Code analysis and structure optimization
- Detection of redundant or inefficient patterns
- Application of modern coding standards
- Preservation of original functionality during refactoring
Example prompts
- "Refactor the
user-service.jsfile to use ES6 modules." - "Improve the readability of the
auth-modulewithout changing its behavior." - "Optimize the performance of the
data-processingmodule by reducing nested loops."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure that version control is in place before running refactoring operations, as changes can be significant.
- Some advanced refactorings may require manual review to ensure compatibility with existing dependencies or tests.
