csharp-refactoring

csharp-refactoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,658 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for restructuring C# and .NET code without intentionally changing how it behaves. Refactoring means changing code structure, such as renaming, extracting, moving, or removing duplication.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps safely rename, move, extract, inline, merge, split, modernize, or deduplicate C# code, including multi-targeted and generated declarations.
Why use it?
Large or public changes can accidentally break references, reflection, serialization, conditional builds, or behavior. This guide sets checks appropriate to the size and risk of the change.

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

csharp-refactoring 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 3d 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.

C# Refactoring (behavior-preserving)

Cratis rules in .cratis/ai/rules/ (including csharp.md, specs.csharp.md, and orleans.md) and the cratis-* skills win where they differ.

A refactor changes structure, never observable behavior. Do the edit with binding-aware tools, then confirm behavior held with a build + the relevant tests. Keep the effort proportional to the change: a one-line local rename does not need the ceremony a public multi-targeted change does.

Mandatory gate: classify before validation or editing

Read only enough repository context to classify each requested operation. Do this before restoring, building, or making an edit. Classification precedence is:

  • If the request explicitly asks for at least one separable behavior-preserving operation, complete that structural work and defer only the behavior-changing or contract-changing operations. Do not invent or infer structural work to avoid the stop response.
  • If the structural and behavior-changing parts cannot be separated, use the whole-request stop response and state why they are inseparable.
  • Otherwise, use the whole-request stop response only when every requested operation is outside behavior-preserving refactoring.

For a whole request that is outside behavior-preserving refactoring:

  1. State: Not a behavior-preserving refactor: <specific reason>.
  2. State: No files changed.
  3. State: Next workflow: <workflow>. Then stop. Do not add manual implementation steps, alternatives, an offer to proceed without the workflow, or a follow-up question — even when that workflow is unavailable.
Requested as a "refactor" Classification and action
Framework or NuGet version change Upgrade. Do not edit or validate the upgrade here; hand off to the repository's upgrade workflow.
New capability, flag, endpoint, tier, or behavior Feature. Do not implement it here; hand off to the repository's feature workflow.
Threshold, rate, output, or bug-result change Behavior change. Defer it and hand off to the repository's bug-fix or behavior-change workflow; still complete any clearly separable structural operation.
Tighten or loosen a shipped/public nullable annotation Source-contract change. Leave the declaration and API record unchanged; hand off to the repository's API-contract workflow.

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.

csharp-refactoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cratis/AI (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,658 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-23.
