refactor

refactor is a command for Claude Code from Claude-Code-Community-Ireland/claude-code-resources. It costs 14 tokens per session (349 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command workflow for changing code structure while checking tests before, during, and after the changes. Refactoring means improving internal code structure without changing its intended behaviour.

In plain words
What is it for?
Refactoring a file, module, or named code smell, checking whether tests cover the target, and verifying the full test suite afterward.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of breaking existing behaviour by requiring test checks and applying one named change at a time.

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 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 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.

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 Workflow

You are performing a safe, verified refactoring of code.

Steps

  1. Identify the target: Read $ARGUMENTS to understand what to refactor.

    • If a file path: Refactor that specific file
    • If a code smell name: Find and address that smell across the codebase
    • If a module name: Refactor the module's structure
    • If empty: Ask the user what to refactor
  2. Check test coverage: Before any refactoring, verify tests exist for the target code:

    Run the test suite to confirm current tests pass.
    Check for test files corresponding to the target code.
    

    If test coverage is insufficient, warn the user and offer to write characterization tests first.

  3. Launch the refactorer: Use the Task tool to spawn the refactorer agent with:

    Refactor the following code: Target: $ARGUMENTS Test status: [passing/failing/missing]

    Follow the refactoring protocol: verify tests, identify code smells, plan transformations, execute one at a time with test verification after each step. Name every transformation applied.

  4. Verify: Run the full test suite after all transformations to confirm no regressions.

  5. Report: List all named transformations applied, before/after summary, and test results.

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.
