Taken from the source listing. We haven't verified who controls this account.

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 s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal at 17ccc31243.

    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 allows AI agents to interact with and utilize the VS Code Extension Refactorer. It can automatically refactor code within a VS Code environment, suggesting improvements and applying changes based on defined rules or patterns. The agent can manage extensions, execute refactoring operations, and monitor the results directly through the VS Code interface.

When to use it

  • Automated Code Cleanup: When you need to standardize formatting across a large codebase quickly.
  • Refactoring Legacy Code: To simplify complex or outdated code structures with automated suggestions.
  • Extension Management: For installing, enabling, and disabling VS Code extensions as part of a larger development workflow.
  • Automated Bug Fixes: When refactorer can automatically fix common coding errors based on predefined rules.

Key capabilities

  • Code Refactoring
  • VS Code Extension Management (install/enable/disable)
  • Rule-based code improvements
  • Monitoring of refactoring operations

Example prompts

  • "Install the 'ESLint' extension in VS Code and enable it."
  • "Refactor this file to adhere to standard JavaScript formatting rules using the available extensions."
  • "Run a quick fix on all instances of unused variables in my current workspace."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a VS Code environment to be active. The agent needs access and permissions within that environment.
  • The effectiveness of refactoring depends heavily on the quality and configuration of installed extensions and rulesets.
