review-and-refactor-code

review-and-refactor-code is a skill for Codex from cmdr-chara/codex-toolkit. It costs 38 tokens per session (605 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for reviewing code changes and planning or carrying out refactoring that preserves behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing diffs, commits, pull requests, or selected code areas; tracing affected users; and preparing incremental structural improvements.
Why use it?
It separates real defects and integration risks from optional cleanup, reducing the chance of making unapproved or unsafe changes.

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

review-and-refactor-code 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 24d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review and Refactor Code

Find evidence-backed problems in a defined scope and improve structure without smuggling in behavior changes.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill for a PR/diff review, a bounded maintainability assessment, cleanup, decomposition, or behavior-preserving refactor.

Do not trigger for broad repository discovery, an unknown runtime cause, proactive bug hunting, migrations, security-only review, measured performance work, or final release approval.

Required inputs

Resolve repository/scope, base/head or bounded area, intended behavior, public/internal contracts, relevant tests, generated/vendor boundaries, constraints, approval state, and protected user work.

Safety baseline

  • Preserve the working tree and uncommitted work.
  • Start read-only for review/refactor assessment.
  • Findings require an observable failure mode or concrete maintenance risk, not style preference.
  • Do not mix feature behavior into a refactor unless explicitly requested.
  • Broad edits stop at a concrete proposal unless already authorized.

Workflow

  1. Map the change surface. Trace changed files, callers/callees, contracts, configuration, data shape, side effects, and relevant tests.
  2. Admit findings. Use references/finding-contract.md. Separate correctness/integration findings from optional structural improvements.
  3. Define parity. Before refactoring, state behavior that must remain stable using references/behavior-parity.md.
  4. Characterize legacy behavior when needed. If important untested code must change, read references/characterization-testing.md and pin observed behavior before structural edits.
  5. Propose the smallest useful slice. State files, invariants, expected complexity reduction, risks, and focused verification. Stop at AWAITING_APPROVAL if broad changes were not authorized.
  6. Refactor incrementally. Keep interfaces explicit, preserve compatibility, avoid speculative abstraction, and remove old paths only after replacements are wired.
  7. Verify the final slice. Run targeted parity/correctness checks and inspect the final diff for accidental behavior 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.
