refactor-scanner

refactor-scanner is an agent for Claude Code from jskswamy/claude-plugins. It costs 67 tokens per session (3,099 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

An agent that scans committed code changes for possible refactoring opportunities. Refactoring means improving code structure without changing what the code does.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing diffs for structural similarities, SOLID or DRY violations, code smells, and language-idiom issues, then producing candidates for another agent to validate.
Why use it?
It can reveal duplicated patterns, design problems, code smells, and language-specific issues that may be missed during a normal code review.

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 B, and why

refactor-scanner scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

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.
