refactor-team

refactor-team is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from signalcompose/claude-tools. It costs 49 tokens per session (761 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guided code-refactoring workflow that has separate agents inspect code and propose changes for your approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find code that should be simplified, review the surrounding project setup, and apply approved refactoring changes.
Why use it?
It helps organize refactoring across the right files while keeping changes subject to your review.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Install

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.

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 C, and why

refactor-team scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Refactor Team

Step 1: Identify Target Files & Detect Context

Resolve target files:

  • If user specified path: use that
  • Otherwise: git diff --name-only <base-branch> for changed files

Detect context:

  • Base branch: git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|refs/remotes/origin/||' (fallback: main)
  • Test command: detect from package.json, Makefile, pytest.ini, etc.
  • Project rules: read project's CLAUDE.md if present

Step 2: Create Refactor Team

MANDATORY: Use TeamCreate to create the team, then spawn agents with Task tool.

Team structure:

Team Lead (yourself)
├─ Analyzer: pr-review-toolkit:code-simplifier
└─ Refactorer: general-purpose (refactorer)

MANDATORY: Always specify an explicit model parameter when spawning each agent. Choose the appropriate model based on task complexity (haiku for lightweight, sonnet for standard, opus for complex reasoning). Never omit model (default inherit may fail in parallel spawning).

Step 3: Run Analysis

Analyzer examines target files using criteria from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/refactor-team/references/analysis-criteria.md.

Analysis output format:

# Category File:Line Description Priority Risk
1 DRY src/a.ts:42 ... High Low
2 Naming src/c.ts:8 ... Medium None

Step 4: Present Proposals to User

MANDATORY: Present the analysis table to user and wait for approval. Do NOT proceed without explicit user selection of which items to execute.

User selects items by number (e.g., "1, 3, 5" or "all").

Step 5: Execute Approved Refactoring

For each approved item:

  1. Refactorer applies the change
  2. Run test command (detected in Step 1)
  3. If tests pass: commit with refactor: <description>
  4. If tests fail: revert and report

Rules:

  • 1 refactoring = 1 commit
  • No functional changes (behavior must be preserved)
  • Commit prefix: refactor:

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

refactor-team is a skill published in the GitHub repository signalcompose/claude-tools (4 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 761 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
