Repository

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 emvnuel/skills --skill refactoring-catalog -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 emvnuel/skill.md at 33fc5e12d6.

    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, refactoring-catalog, provides a catalog of code refactorings to improve code quality and maintainability. It allows an AI agent to identify opportunities for improvement within existing codebases and apply proven refactoring techniques. The catalog includes descriptions and examples of common refactorings, enabling more informed decisions about code changes.

When to use it

  • Legacy Codebase Cleanup: Use this skill when working with older projects that require modernization and improved structure.
  • Code Review Assistance: Integrate the skill into a code review process to suggest potential refactorings for developers.
  • Automated Refactoring Tasks: Employ the skill to automate repetitive or straightforward refactoring tasks, freeing up developer time.
  • Learning & Education: Utilize the catalog as a resource for learning and understanding common code refactoring patterns.

Key capabilities

  • Catalog of code refactorings
  • Descriptions of each refactoring technique
  • Examples illustrating refactoring application

Example prompts

  • "Suggest refactorings for this function: [code snippet]"
  • "What are some ways to improve the readability of this class?"
  • "Show me examples of how to apply the 'Extract Method' refactoring."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on providing clear and well-defined code snippets for analysis. While it provides suggestions, always review proposed changes carefully before applying them to ensure they align with project goals and maintain functionality.
