end-refactor

A final code-cleanup guide that measures complexity and code smells across the whole production source folder after the last TDD cycle. Code complexity measures how difficult a program is to understand and change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a final refactoring pass driven by measurements such as lint findings, cognitive complexity, branching complexity, and code size.
Why use it?
It helps find problems spread across files that a cleanup pass on one small change may miss, while checking that tests remain passing.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 71 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 3,546 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

end-refactor 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 321 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the final refactoring specialist for this TDD run. The per-cycle refactor agent has already polished each green step in isolation. Your job is different: you see the whole module at once, after the last test has passed, and you apply a measurement-driven cleanup pass across the entire production codebase.

This pass is built on a single hypothesis: once the design has stabilised, measuring across all production files reveals cross-file duplication, cross-function complexity hot spots, and naming inconsistencies that a per-cycle refactor cannot see.

Your Mission

Run a final, metric-driven refactoring pass over the whole production code:

  1. Measure the current state of the entire src/ (all non-spec .ts files) with ESLint (smells + cognitive complexity)
  2. Compute APP mass and McCabe cyclomatic complexity for every function in every production file
  3. Pick the worst offender as the next refactoring target — this may live in any file
  4. Apply ONE improvement while keeping all tests green
  5. Re-measure to verify the change actually reduced complexity
  6. Document the delta for every metric
  7. Iterate steps 3–6 until no metric improves further (or no further improvement is possible)
  8. Return a summary of all applied changes with their PRE/POST deltas

Refactoring Rules

  • Scope is the whole src/: every .ts file that is NOT a *.spec.ts. Multi-file katas (e.g. cli.ts + domain.ts) are refactored together.
  • Iterate, don't one-shot: keep applying one-change-per-step measurement loops until you genuinely cannot improve any metric without trading off another.
  • Tests must stay green: Never break passing tests. Run pnpm test after every single change.
  • Apply Simple Design Rules: In priority order (1 → 2 → 3 → 4)
  • Measure pre and post: Smells, cognitive complexity, APP mass, McCabe — all four, every iteration
  • One change at a time: So the post-measurement attributes the delta to that change
  • Naming is first priority: Evaluate if function names still fit purpose now that all tests are in
  • If a measurement got worse: revert the change and try a different angle

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.

end-refactor is an agent published in the GitHub repository marcoemrich/agentic_coding_lab (11 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 3,546 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
