Does this skill change how my code works?

No, the primary goal of the refactor skill is to improve internal structure and readability without altering the external functionality or behavior of the code.

Does it support specific programming languages?

The skill is language-agnostic and applies general, high-level refactoring patterns suitable for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, and other major languages.

Can it refactor multiple files at once?

Yes, the skill can use tools like Glob and Grep to identify patterns and apply structural improvements across multiple files or components.

Can I target specific files for refactoring?

Yes, you can provide specific file paths or component names as arguments to focus the skill's analysis and refactoring efforts on a specific area.

How does it ensure the code still works?

The skill follows a strict protocol of making small, incremental changes and emphasizes the importance of verifying that tests pass after every modification.

Developer Tools

Refactors source code to enhance readability, maintainability, and architectural structure without altering external behavior.

About

The Smart Code Refactor skill empowers Claude to systematically improve code quality by applying proven engineering patterns such as method extraction, deduplication, and conditional simplification. It follows a 'Make it Work, Make it Right, Make it Fast' philosophy, ensuring that functionality remains intact through incremental changes and rigorous verification. This skill is ideal for cleaning up legacy code, reducing technical debt, and preparing complex logic for future feature additions by ensuring every change is focused, documented, and tested.

Key Features

Systematic renaming of variables and functions to better reveal developer intent
Incremental change management that prioritizes stability and passing tests
Intelligent deduplication of code using DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles
Simplification of nested or convoluted conditional logic for improved readability
Automated extraction of complex methods and variables for better modularity
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Cleaning up 'spaghetti code' in legacy modules to reduce technical debt
Standardizing variable naming and function patterns across a multi-file project
Preparing a codebase for a new feature by restructuring existing components
