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 jorgealves/agent_skills at 85014ad37d.

    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 Refactoring Suggester skill analyzes existing codebases to identify opportunities for structural improvement and optimization. It provides actionable recommendations to help developers clean up legacy code, reduce technical debt, and enhance maintainability without altering core functionality.

When to use it

  • You have a legacy codebase that is difficult to understand or modify.
  • You need to optimize performance bottlenecks identified during code review.
  • Your team wants to standardize coding patterns across different modules.
  • You are preparing code for a major release and want to ensure stability.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes current code structure to detect anti-patterns and inefficiencies.
  • Suggests specific refactoring steps to improve readability and logic flow.
  • Identifies areas where technical debt is accumulating rapidly.
  • Recommends modernization strategies for outdated libraries or frameworks.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Python module and suggest three ways to reduce its cyclomatic complexity."
  • "Identify any security vulnerabilities in this backend API implementation that could be fixed via refactoring."
  • "Propose a strategy to decouple these tightly integrated service classes into smaller, reusable components."

Tips & gotchas

Always review suggested changes manually before applying them to production environments, as automated suggestions may not account for all business logic nuances. Ensure your development environment supports the proposed refactoring patterns to avoid integration issues later.
