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 vineethsoma/agent-packages at 4377fda9b3.

    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 helps you apply common refactoring patterns to improve your backend code. It can suggest and implement changes like Extract Method, Replace Conditional with Polymorphism, or Introduce Parameter Object. The goal is cleaner, more maintainable code through automated refactoring suggestions and implementations.

When to use it

  • You have a large codebase that needs cleaning up and improving its structure.
  • You're struggling with complex conditional logic and want to simplify it using polymorphism.
  • A method or function has become too long and unwieldy, requiring extraction into smaller, more manageable units.
  • You need to pass multiple related data items to a method and want to encapsulate them in an object.

Key capabilities

  • Suggests refactoring patterns based on code analysis.
  • Implements common refactoring patterns (e.g., Extract Method, Replace Conditional with Polymorphism).
  • Automates the process of applying these refactorings.

Example prompts

  • "Can you suggest a refactoring for this function?"
  • "Apply 'Extract Method' to this block of code."
  • "Refactor this conditional logic using polymorphism."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is most effective when applied to well-structured, object-oriented code. It may require some initial setup or understanding of refactoring principles for optimal results.
