code-refactor
From the author
Perform bulk code refactoring operations like renaming variables/functions across files, replacing patterns, and updating API calls. Use when users request renaming identifiers, replacing deprecated code patterns, updating method calls, or making consistent changes across multiple locations.

- 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★ 40.3K
- refactor-cleandzhng/skillsRefactor cleanly instead of layering sediment. Use for rename requests, stale or misleading names, legacy leftovers, changed scope, or when a change reveals duplicated concepts, local adapters, obsolete owners, redundant inputs or guards, compatibility wrappers, parallel abstractions, an over-large module that has accreted many responsibilities, or "just tack this on" pressure in any code area.Engineering★ 1.4K
- csharp-refactoringdotnet/skillsSafely refactors C#/.NET code without changing behavior. USE FOR any request to refactor, rename, move, extract, inline, merge, consolidate, deduplicate, split, or modernize C# code, including partial/generated declarations, wrappers, public APIs, serialization/reflection/configuration names, friend assemblies, conditional compilation, and multi-targeted projects. Also use when a request calls a feature, bug fix, package/framework upgrade, or public nullability change a refactor and the behavior-changing part must be separated or declined. DO NOT USE FOR ordinary feature or bug fixes not presented as refactoring; standalone upgrades after reclassification (use dotnet-upgrade); adding tests; or formatting-only work.Engineering★ 5.7K
- review-and-refactorgithub/awesome-copilotReview and refactor code in your project according to defined instructionsEngineering★ 40.3K
- refactoring-patternswondelai/skillsApply named refactoring transformations to improve code structure without changing behavior. Use when the user mentions "refactor this", "code smells", "extract method", "replace conditional", "technical debt", "move method", "inline variable", "decompose conditional", or "clean up this messy code". Also trigger when cleaning up legacy code, preparing code for new features by restructuring, or identifying which transformation fits a specific code smell. Covers smell-driven refactoring, safe transformation sequences, and testing guards. For code-quality foundations, see clean-code. For managing complexity, see software-design-philosophy.Engineering★ 2.5K
- deep-module-refactorzebbern/claude-code-guideExplore a codebase to find opportunities for architectural improvement, focusing on making the codebase more testable by deepening shallow modules. Use when user wants to improve architecture, find refactoring opportunities, consolidate tightly-coupled modules, or make a codebase more AI-navigable.Engineering★ 4.7K
