refactor-project

refactor-project is a skill for Claude Code from FradSer/dotclaude. It costs 57 tokens per session (621 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for refactoring an entire code project, including related changes across files. Project-wide refactoring means reviewing the whole codebase rather than only one file or directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to standardize code across a project, reduce cross-file duplication, and simplify related code. It excludes common dependency, build, vendor, and virtual-environment directories.
Why use it?
It helps find duplicated patterns and inconsistent code that a local refactor would miss. It records the current Git revision, giving a reference point for reviewing or undoing the 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

refactor-project 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 22d 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 Project Command

Execute automated project-wide refactoring using refactor:code-simplifier agent with cross-file optimization focus.

Pre-operation Checks

Goal: Ensure project-wide execution is explicit and reproducible.

Actions:

  1. Run git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree; if false, inform user that project-wide mode requires a git workspace
  2. Record current revision with git rev-parse --short HEAD and include it in final summary for rollback context
  3. Ignore command arguments and proceed with full-project discovery

Phase 1: Analyze Project Scope

Goal: Discover all code files and display scope summary.

Actions:

  1. Find all code files using Glob patterns for common extensions
  2. Filter out node_modules/, .git/, dist/, build/, vendor/, .venv/
  3. Group files by language/extension and identify primary source directories
  4. Display scope summary (file count, languages, directories) then proceed automatically

See references/scope-analysis.md for exclusion patterns and edge cases.

Phase 2: Launch Refactoring Agent

Goal: Execute refactor:code-simplifier agent with project-wide scope and cross-file focus.

Actions:

  1. Launch refactor:code-simplifier agent with all discovered code files
  2. Pass cross-file optimization emphasis: duplication reduction, consistent patterns
  3. Pass aggressive mode flag for legacy code removal
  4. Agent auto-loads refactor:best-practices skill and applies language-specific patterns

See references/agent-configuration.md for detailed Task parameters.

Phase 3: Summary

Goal: Report comprehensive summary of project-wide changes.

Actions:

  1. Report total files refactored (count and percentage of project)
  2. List changes categorized by improvement type and cross-file improvements made
  3. List best practices applied and legacy code removed
  4. Suggest test suite to run and recommend reviewing changes in logical groups
  5. Provide safer rollback command tied to recorded baseline (for example: git restore --worktree --staged .)

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.
