DynamoHome: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/refactor/SKILL.md

refactor is a skill for Claude Code from DynamoDS/DynamoHome. It costs 0 tokens per session (571 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step method for restructuring code while keeping its observable behavior unchanged. It includes checking the starting tests and making one logical change at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when removing duplication, improving readability, renaming types or properties, moving components, or making other internal code changes.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that cleanup work introduces regressions, meaning existing features stop working, and keeps changes within the intended files.

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 2mo 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.

Refactor Workflow – DynamoHome

Use this workflow when restructuring code without changing its observable behavior.

Steps

1. Define scope and goal

Before touching code, identify:

  • What is being refactored and why (readability, duplication, type safety, etc.)
  • What the observable behavior is, so you can verify it is preserved afterward
  • Which files are in scope — do not touch files outside the stated scope

2. Establish a baseline

Run the full test suite to confirm the starting state is green:

npm run lint:check
npm run test:unit
npm run build

If any of these fail before you start, stop and fix them first (or confirm with the user).

3. Refactor incrementally

  • Make one logical change at a time (extract a component, rename a type, consolidate duplicate logic)
  • Run npm run test:unit after each meaningful change to confirm nothing broke
  • Note each stable checkpoint — makes it easy to revert one step without losing all work

4. DynamoHome-specific risks

Refactor Risk to check
Renaming a prop or interface Any callers using the old name? Grep src/ for it
Moving a component to Common/ Update all import paths in consumers
Extracting a custom hook Verify useSettings() context is still available if the hook needs it
Consolidating or renaming locale keys Check all 14 locale files; grep src/ for old key usages
Changing utility.ts function signatures Verify tests/__mocks__/chromeMock.ts covers the new signature
Changing SettingsContext shape Grep for useSettings and verify every callsite still works
Renaming a global window callback Never do this — Dynamo calls them by name from .NET

5. Final verification

npm run lint:check    # No new lint errors
npm run test:unit     # All tests pass
npm run build         # Dev bundle builds
npm run bundle        # Production bundle builds (if webpack config was touched)

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.

refactor is a skill published in the GitHub repository DynamoDS/DynamoHome (3 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 571 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
