refactor-research-code
From the author
Clean research code for public release while preserving reported results. Uses release_audit.py to separate safe mechanical cleanup from ask-first behavior risks and identity leaks. Use for release-ready repos, dead experiment branches, config extraction, documented entrypoints, and double-blind code cleanup.

- test-research-codeShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skillsMake research code runnable and repeatable for artifact review by auditing README, dependencies, seeds, entrypoints, data instructions, result commands, and smoke tests with repro_check.py. Use for smoke tests, seed pinning, environment capture, reproducibility checks, or works-on-my-machine cleanup.Testing★ 60
- release-research-artifactsgxCaesar/open-research-skillsUse when packaging the code and data a reader or reviewer will download, including releasing the code for a paper, building an anonymized repository for double-blind submission, preparing an archive with a DOI for a journal, writing citation metadata, producing a data card or model card, or preparing a submission for artifact evaluation. Use once the results are frozen, so that what ships is what produced them.Science★ 63

- refactorgithub/awesome-copilotSurgical code refactoring to improve maintainability without changing behavior. Covers extracting functions, renaming variables, breaking down god functions, improving type safety, eliminating code smells, and applying design patterns. Less drastic than repo-rebuilder; use for gradual improvements.Engineering★ 40.8K
- code-refactoring-assistantArabelaTso/Skills-4-SESuggest and apply code refactorings to improve readability, maintainability, and code quality. Use this skill when improving existing code structure, eliminating code smells, applying design patterns, simplifying complex logic, extracting duplicated code, renaming for clarity, or preparing code for new features. Provides specific before/after examples, explains benefits, identifies risks, and ensures behavior preservation through tests.Engineering★ 260
- clean-codewondelai/skillsWrite readable, maintainable code through disciplined naming, small functions, and clean error handling. Use when the user mentions "clean up this code", "this function is too long", "code smells", "naming conventions", "boy scout rule", "single responsibility", or "unit test quality". Also trigger when reviewing a pull request for readability, untangling a messy function, debating comment styles, or improving error-handling patterns. Covers SRP, comment discipline, formatting, and unit testing. For refactoring techniques, see refactoring-patterns. For architecture and dependency rules, see clean-architecture.Engineering★ 2.6K
