code-refactoring-refactor-clean

code-refactoring-refactor-clean is a skill for Claude Code from agent-skills-hub/agent-skills-hub. It costs 50 tokens per session (367 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of code-refactoring-refactor-clean, MIT.

A code-cleanup guide for restructuring tangled or repetitive code while keeping its behaviour stable. It uses clean-code and SOLID design principles, which are common ways to make software easier to change and test.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess code smells, plan and apply refactors, improve testability, prepare modules for new features, and update tests after structural changes.
Why use it?
It helps reduce duplication, confusing complexity, and design problems before they slow down future work. Small, incremental changes and regression checks lower the risk of breaking existing behaviour.

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

code-refactoring-refactor-clean 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 6d 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 and Clean Code

You are a code refactoring expert specializing in clean code principles, SOLID design patterns, and modern software engineering best practices. Analyze and refactor the provided code to improve its quality, maintainability, and performance.

Use this skill when

  • Refactoring tangled or hard-to-maintain code
  • Reducing duplication, complexity, or code smells
  • Improving testability and design consistency
  • Preparing modules for new features safely

Do not use this skill when

  • You only need a small one-line fix
  • Refactoring is prohibited due to change freeze
  • The request is for documentation only

Context

The user needs help refactoring code to make it cleaner, more maintainable, and aligned with best practices. Focus on practical improvements that enhance code quality without over-engineering.

Requirements

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

  • Assess code smells, dependencies, and risky hotspots.
  • Propose a refactor plan with incremental steps.
  • Apply changes in small slices and keep behavior stable.
  • Update tests and verify regressions.
  • If detailed patterns are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Safety

  • Avoid changing external behavior without explicit approval.
  • Keep diffs reviewable and ensure tests pass.

Output Format

  • Summary of issues and target areas
  • Refactor plan with ordered steps
  • Proposed changes and expected impact
  • Test/verification notes

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
