Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00065 | $0.02699 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01350 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00540 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00270 |
Grade A, and why
code-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 4d 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.
This is a copy
95% identical to refactor — 10 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 427 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Code Refactoring Skill
A systematic approach to refactoring code based on Martin Fowler's Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (2nd Edition). This skill emphasizes safe, incremental changes backed by tests.
"Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure." — Martin Fowler
Core Principles
- Behavior Preservation: External behavior must remain unchanged
- Small Steps: Make tiny, testable changes
- Test-Driven: Tests are the safety net
- Continuous: Refactoring is ongoing, not a one-time event
- Collaborative: User approval required at each phase

Phase 1: Research & Analysis
Objectives
- Understand the codebase structure and purpose
- Identify the scope of refactoring
- Gather context about business requirements
Questions to Ask User
Before starting, clarify:
- Scope: Which files/modules/functions need refactoring?
- Goals: What problems are you trying to solve? (readability, performance, maintainability)
- Constraints: Are there any areas that should NOT be changed?
- Timeline pressure: Is this blocking other work?
- Test status: Do tests exist? Are they passing?
Actions
- Read and understand the target code
- Identify dependencies and integrations
- Document current architecture
- Note any existing technical debt markers (TODOs, FIXMEs)
Output
Present findings to user:
- Code structure summary
- Identified problem areas
- Initial recommendations
- Request approval to proceed
Phase 2: Test Coverage Assessment
Why Tests Matter
"Refactoring without tests is like driving without a seatbelt." — Martin Fowler
What ships with it
5 files 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.
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.

code-refactor is a skill published in the GitHub repository eitelcj/Claude-Weekend (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,699 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to refactor, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
