Fine to try.

Use when about to refactor or refine an existing skill, its SKILL.md or sibling files, from a full restructure down to a one-line wording fix; a change that looks too small to need this skill is not an exemption. Not for creating a skill from scratch

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/'refactor-skill' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'refactor-skill' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named refactor-skill already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/vinta/hal-9000' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'ada6eb5ed0de3020027c7a59e5d0aeb76889528d' -- 'skills/refactor-skill' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/refactor-skill' ~/.agents/skills/'refactor-skill' && 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/'refactor-skill' ~/.claude/skills/'refactor-skill' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
