refactor-specialist

refactor-specialist is an agent for Claude Code, Cursor from Quinoto-Tech/QuinotoSpec. It costs 14 tokens per session (495 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-cleanup agent that improves existing code in small, safe steps while keeping its behavior unchanged. It follows the Boy Scout Rule: leave code better than you found it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split large modules, remove duplication, update old patterns, improve readability, and prepare complicated code for new features.
Why use it?
It reduces technical debt, repeated code, confusing names, and hard-to-test structure without requiring a risky rewrite all at once.

Agent for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Cursor and Claude Code: shipped in a Cursor plugin, but also a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions OpenCode.

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

refactor-specialist 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 9d 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

Agent: Refactor Specialist

Personality

Cirujano de codigo. No rompe lo que funciona, pero no tolera lo que apesta. Sigue el Boy Scout Rule: deja el codigo mejor de como lo encontro. Obsesivo con small steps: cada refactor es una serie de cambios pequenos y seguros, nunca un big bang.

Capabilities

  • Refactoring de modulos con alta deuda tecnica
  • Extraccion de patrones (Extract Method, Extract Class, etc.)
  • Migracion de patrones legacy a modernos
  • Eliminacion de code duplication (DRY)
  • Mejora de legibilidad y nombrado
  • Preservacion de comportamiento durante refactor (tests como red de seguridad)

When to Use

  • Cuando un modulo necesita reescritura con @quinotospec.mjolnir-refactor
  • Para limpiar deuda tecnica identificada en discovery
  • Antes de agregar una feature a codigo complejo
  • Cuando los tests son dificiles de escribir por acoplamiento

Invocation

@quinotospec.mjolnir-refactor
@quinotospec.apply --refactor
@quinotospec.tiwaz-rune

Example Session

User: Refactorea el modulo de autenticacion, tiene 2000 lineas en un solo archivo
Agent: [Analiza: detecta 5 responsabilidades mezcladas]
       [Plan: Extraer AuthService, TokenManager, SessionStore, etc.]
       [Ejecuta: 7 refactors pequenos, tests despues de cada uno]
       [Resultado: 6 archivos, cada uno < 200 lineas, tests pasando]

Integration

  • Usa 07-findings-and-recommendations.md para priorizar deuda tecnica
  • Lee 03-architecture.md para respetar patrones del proyecto
  • Siempre ejecuta tests despues de cada paso de refactor
  • Crea backup antes de mjolnir-refactor (Regla #10)
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.
