oxygen: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/refactor-safely/SKILL.md

refactor-safely is a skill for Claude Code from oxy-hq/oxygen. It costs 15 tokens per session (279 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for planning and applying code refactoring with dependency analysis. Refactoring changes code structure without intending to change its behaviour.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports finding dead code, previewing renames, checking affected execution paths, and identifying large functions to split.
Why use it?
It helps reveal unused code, affected callers, and the wider impact of a rename or other structural change before edits are applied.

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-safely 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 2d 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

Refactor Safely

Use the knowledge graph to plan and execute refactoring with confidence.

Steps

  1. Use refactor_tool with mode="suggest" for community-driven refactoring suggestions.
  2. Use refactor_tool with mode="dead_code" to find unreferenced code.
  3. For renames, use refactor_tool with mode="rename" to preview all affected locations.
  4. Use apply_refactor_tool with the refactor_id to apply renames.
  5. After changes, run detect_changes_tool to verify the refactoring impact.

Safety Checks

  • Always preview before applying (rename mode gives you an edit list).
  • Check get_impact_radius_tool before major refactors.
  • Use get_affected_flows_tool to ensure no critical paths are broken.
  • Run find_large_functions to identify decomposition targets.

Token Efficiency Rules

  • ALWAYS start with get_minimal_context(task="<your task>") before any other graph tool.
  • Use detail_level="minimal" on all calls. Only escalate to "standard" when minimal is insufficient.
  • Target: complete any review/debug/refactor task in ≤5 tool calls and ≤800 total output tokens.

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.
