Ling: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/refactoring-patterns/SKILL.md

refactoring-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from MisonL/Ling. It costs 37 tokens per session (452 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for safely improving old code while keeping its existing behavior. It covers tests that capture current behavior, small refactoring steps, interface compatibility, and common restructuring techniques.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when splitting large functions, reducing duplicated logic, introducing a wrapper around an old interface, replacing hard-coded dependencies, or removing confirmed unused code.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of breaking a tightly connected legacy system during cleanup or gradual replacement.

Skill for Claude Code

This is MisonL/Ling's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Ling itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Ling configures →

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

refactoring-patterns 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

重构模式(Refactoring Patterns)

目标

在不破坏现有行为的前提下,逐步提升可读性、可测试性与可维护性。

适用场景

  • 巨型函数、深层嵌套、重复逻辑。
  • 历史模块耦合严重,改一处影响多处。
  • 需要在持续交付中逐步替换旧实现,而非一次性重写。

执行顺序(强制)

  1. 先锁定行为:补齐回归测试或特征测试(characterization tests)。
  2. 小步提交:每次只做一种重构动作(如提取函数、重命名、移动模块)。
  3. 每步验证:确保测试通过后再进入下一步。
  4. 接口稳定优先:对外 API 先兼容,内部再逐层替换。

常用模式

  • 提取函数(Extract Function):把多职责逻辑拆成具名步骤。
  • 引入门面(Facade):先封装旧接口,再在门面后逐步替换实现。
  • 依赖倒置(Dependency Inversion):把硬编码依赖替换为可注入接口。
  • 删除死代码(Dead Code Removal):仅在有覆盖和调用链确认后执行。

禁止事项

  • 无测试直接大规模重写。
  • 同一提交混入功能变更与重构变更。
  • 修改外部契约却不提供迁移路径或兼容层。

完成标准

  • 行为保持一致(回归测试通过)。
  • 复杂度下降(函数长度、嵌套层级、重复率可观测改善)。
  • 变更说明清晰(记录重构动机、范围与风险点)。

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.

refactoring-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository MisonL/Ling (8 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 452 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
