agent-md-refactor

agent-md-refactor is a skill for Claude Code from Dannykkh/skill-olympus. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,806 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-md-refactor, MIT.

A documentation refactoring tool for breaking up oversized AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and similar instruction files into smaller linked documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reorganize large coding-agent instruction files into sections that can be read progressively.
Why use it?
It reduces the difficulty of finding and maintaining instructions when one file has grown beyond a few hundred lines.

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

agent-md-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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to agent-md-refactor — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Agent MD Refactor

Refactor bloated agent instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, COPILOT.md, etc.) to follow progressive disclosure principles - keeping essentials at root and organizing the rest into linked, categorized files.


Triggers

Use this skill when:

  • "refactor my AGENTS.md" / "refactor my CLAUDE.md"
  • "split my agent instructions"
  • "organize my CLAUDE.md file"
  • "my AGENTS.md is too long"
  • "progressive disclosure for my instructions"
  • "clean up my agent config"

Quick Reference

Phase Action Output
1. Analyze Find contradictions List of conflicts to resolve
2. Extract Identify essentials Core instructions for root file
3. Categorize Group remaining instructions Logical categories
4. Structure Create file hierarchy Root + linked files
5. Prune Flag for deletion Redundant/vague instructions

Process

Phase 1: Find Contradictions

Identify any instructions that conflict with each other.

Look for:

  • Contradictory style guidelines (e.g., "use semicolons" vs "no semicolons")
  • Conflicting workflow instructions
  • Incompatible tool preferences
  • Mutually exclusive patterns

For each contradiction found:

## Contradiction Found

**Instruction A:** [quote]
**Instruction B:** [quote]

**Question:** Which should take precedence, or should both be conditional?

Ask the user to resolve before proceeding.


Phase 2: Identify the Essentials

Extract ONLY what belongs in the root agent file. The root should be minimal - information that applies to every single task.

Essential content (keep in root):

Category Example
Project description One sentence: "A React dashboard for analytics"
Package manager Only if not npm (e.g., "Uses pnpm")
Non-standard commands Custom build/test/typecheck commands
Critical overrides Things that MUST override defaults
Universal rules Applies to 100% of tasks

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.
