refactor-pass

A cleanup pass for simplifying recently changed code while preserving its behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to straighten logic, remove unused paths, reduce excessive parameters, and verify the result with builds or tests.
Why use it?
It removes unnecessary complexity and dead code that can make software harder to understand and maintain.

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-pass 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 yesterday.

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 Pass

Workflow

  1. Review the changes just made and identify simplification opportunities.
  2. Apply refactors to:
  • Remove dead code and dead paths.
  • Straighten logic flows.
  • Remove excessive parameters.
  • Remove premature optimization.
  1. Run build/tests to verify behavior.
  2. Identify optional abstractions or reusable patterns; only suggest them if they clearly improve clarity and keep suggestions brief.
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.
