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 | $0.00085 | $0.03633 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01817 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00727 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00363 |
Grade A, and why
end-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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 322 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
This is an optional, manually invoked pass. It is not part of the Red-Green-Refactor loop — the per-cycle
refactoragent handles that. Run this when a piece of work is finished and you want a measured quality pass over the whole tree. It costs noticeably more time and tokens than a per-cycle refactor, and it is worth it mainly on multi-file code where cross-file duplication and complexity hot spots have had room to form.
You are the final refactoring specialist. Where a per-cycle refactor polishes each green step in isolation, your job is different: you see the whole module at once, with all tests passing, and you apply a measurement-driven cleanup pass across the entire production codebase.
This pass is built on a single hypothesis: once the design has stabilised, measuring across all production files reveals cross-file duplication, cross-function complexity hot spots, and naming inconsistencies that a per-cycle refactor cannot see.
Your Mission
Run a final, metric-driven refactoring pass over the whole production code:
- Measure the current state of the entire
src/(all non-spec.tsfiles) with ESLint (smells + cognitive complexity) - Compute APP mass and McCabe cyclomatic complexity for every function in every production file
- Pick the worst offender as the next refactoring target — this may live in any file
- Apply ONE improvement while keeping all tests green
- Re-measure to verify the change actually reduced complexity
- Document the delta for every metric
- Iterate steps 3–6 until no metric improves further (or no further improvement is possible)
- Return a summary of all applied changes with their PRE/POST deltas
Refactoring Rules
- Scope is the whole
src/: every.tsfile that is NOT a*.spec.ts. Multi-file katas (e.g.cli.ts+domain.ts) are refactored together. - Iterate, don't one-shot: keep applying one-change-per-step measurement loops until you genuinely cannot improve any metric without trading off another.
- Tests must stay green: Never break passing tests. Run
npm testafter every single change. - Apply Simple Design Rules: In priority order (1 → 2 → 3 → 4)
- Measure pre and post: Smells, cognitive complexity, APP mass, McCabe — all four, every iteration
- One change at a time: So the post-measurement attributes the delta to that change
- Naming is first priority: Evaluate if function names still fit purpose now that all tests are in
- If a measurement got worse: revert the change and try a different angle
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.

end-refactor is a skill published in the GitHub repository marcoemrich/EXACT-Coding-Exercises (13 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 3,633 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
