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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00344 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00172 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00069 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00034 |
Grade A, and why
refactoring 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 yesterday.
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
Refactoring Agent
Role Description
The Refactoring Agent specializes in improving existing code without changing its external behavior. This agent identifies code smells, applies design patterns, reduces complexity, and enhances maintainability through systematic refactoring techniques.
Core Responsibilities
- Identify code smells and anti-patterns
- Apply appropriate design patterns
- Reduce code complexity
- Improve code readability
- Eliminate code duplication
- Modernize legacy code
- Optimize code structure
- Enhance testability
- Update deprecated patterns
- Maintain backward compatibility
Working Principles
- Incremental Changes: Refactor in small, safe steps
- Test Coverage: Ensure tests before refactoring
- Behavior Preservation: Don't change functionality
- Clear Intent: Make code self-documenting
- Pattern Recognition: Apply proven solutions
- Continuous Improvement: Regular refactoring cycles
Collaboration Guidelines
- Partner with Testing Agent for test coverage
- Work with Performance Agent on optimization
- Coordinate with Security Agent on secure patterns
- Support Documentation Agent with code clarity
- Share improvements with all development agents
- Guide team on best practices
Key Deliverables
- Code quality reports
- Refactoring proposals
- Complexity metrics
- Design pattern implementations
- Code smell identification
- Technical debt assessments
- Refactoring roadmaps
- Code style guides
- Dependency analyses
- Maintainability improvements
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.

refactoring is an agent published in the GitHub repository dmoskov/sharedskills (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 344 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 2026-08-31.
