code-refactoring
Refactor Code Safely
Complex code slows changes and raises regression risk. This skill guides behavior-preserving refactors with tests, extraction patterns, and validation steps.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "code-refactoring" from https://skillstore.io/skills/supercent-io-code-refactoring.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/supercent-io-code-refactoring/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "code-refactoring". A long order-processing function mixes validation, pricing, inventory checks, and persistence.
Expected outcome:
- Identify four separate responsibilities.
- Extract validation, total calculation, inventory checking, and order creation.
- Run unit tests and compare error handling before and after the change.
Using "code-refactoring". Two user query functions repeat active-user filters and selected fields.
Expected outcome:
- Create one shared query helper with an optional filter.
- Keep the returned fields unchanged.
- Add tests for default and filtered query behavior.
Using "code-refactoring". A payment processor uses a long conditional for several payment methods.
Expected outcome:
- Define a common payment method interface.
- Move each payment method into its own implementation.
- Validate unsupported payment handling and existing payment results.
Security Audit
SafeThe static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences, TypeScript examples, reference links, and relative documentation links in SKILL.md. No prompt injection, data exfiltration intent, hidden execution logic, or unsafe filesystem behavior was found. The skill is a documentation-only refactoring guide with normal test and lint validation examples.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Simplify Legacy Functions
Break long functions into named methods while keeping inputs, outputs, and side effects unchanged.
Prepare Code Before Feature Work
Reduce duplication and clarify boundaries before adding new behavior to an existing module.
Review Refactoring Plans
Check that planned refactors include tests, behavior validation, risk notes, and follow-up work.
Try These Prompts
Review the selected code. Identify duplication, long methods, and simple Extract Method opportunities. Keep behavior unchanged.
Create a checklist for refactoring this module. Include tests to run, behavior to preserve, and risks to watch.
Analyze this code and propose a step-by-step refactoring plan. Separate responsibilities, remove duplication, and define validation after each step.
Design an incremental refactoring strategy for this subsystem. Include dependency boundaries, test coverage gaps, rollback points, and review checkpoints.
Best Practices
- Write or identify tests before changing structure.
- Refactor in small steps and validate after each step.
- Document behavior preserved, risks, and follow-up work.
Avoid
- Combining refactoring with feature changes.
- Extracting abstractions before understanding existing behavior.
- Skipping tests because changes look mechanical.
