refactoring

Fine to try.

By nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (GitHub) · coding · 36 stars · scanned at commit 1691932

Use when improving the structure of code without changing its behavior. Covers safe refactoring sequences, characterization tests, and knowing when to stop. Trigger on "clean this up without changing behavior", "refactor this before i add the feature", "this module is impossible to test", "extract this into a function". Do not use for migrating a whole legacy system — see the legacy-modernization skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'refactoring' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'refactoring' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named refactoring already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/development/refactoring' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/development/refactoring' ~/.agents/skills/'refactoring' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'refactoring' ~/.claude/skills/'refactoring' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
