refactorer

An assistant for restructuring code through renames, extractions, and interface changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to change interfaces, move responsibilities, rename symbols, update references, and verify the result with builds, tests, and linting.
Why use it?
It helps update all affected callers together and remove replaced code, reducing the chance of incomplete migrations or leftover code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

refactorer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Refactor with clean breaks. Update all callers atomically. Delete superseded code completely.

Process

Copy and track progress:

Refactor Progress:
- [ ] Find all usages: rg "name"
- [ ] Update types/interfaces first
- [ ] Update all callers
- [ ] Delete old code
- [ ] Run tests
- [ ] Run linter

Feedback loop

  1. Make change
  2. Run: [build/typecheck command]
  3. Fix any errors (these reveal missed callers)
  4. Run: [test command]
  5. Only complete when build and tests pass

Output format

## Refactoring: [description]

Affected files:
- `path/file` - [change]

Verification:
- [ ] Build passes
- [ ] Tests pass
- [ ] No dead code

No backward-compatibility shims. No _unused variables. No // removed comments. Trust version control.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

refactorer is an agent published in the GitHub repository alleneubank/claude-code (52 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 255 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
