refactor-skill
From the author
Use when about to refactor or refine an existing skill, its SKILL.md or sibling files, from a full restructure down to a one-line wording fix; a change that looks too small to need this skill is not an exemption. Not for creating a skill from scratch
Install
npx skills add vinta/hal-9000 --skill refactor-skill -a claude-code
Installs to .claude/skills/refactor-skill/ · Each command fetches the skill straight from GitHub with the open skills CLI.
Byte-identical to the scanned commit, with the repository’s licence and a SOURCE.txt.
Want your agent to suggest skills while you type? See how to use skills from your IDE.
Safety checks on SKILL.md
No warnings.
Why 84
aiqbench computes the trust score from public signals. It is not a security audit, so read a skill before you install it.

- creating-skilloaustegard/claude-skillsBuilds and revises a complete skill DIRECTORY — SKILL.md, scripts, references, assets — and packages it. Use for "create a skill for X", "turn this into a skill", "update/improve this skill", "why doesn't my skill trigger", "review this SKILL.md", "package this skill", or when a repeated procedure should become a reusable artifact. Enforces the structure that makes skills work — a concrete procedure rather than a goal statement, an explicit applicability boundary, failure modes with their signals, a runtime verification step, and a description checked against the existing catalogue for confusability. For choosing whether the instruction should be a skill at all rather than project instructions or a prompt, use crafting-instructions. For writing quality inside the prose, use writing-instructions.Writing★ 154

Use this skill whenever the user wants to build, scaffold, or design a new skill, improve or fix an existing skill that isn't working well, score or benchmark a skill's quality or run evals on it, or turn a repeated manual workflow into a skill ("I keep doing X manually", "can you remember how to do X", "turn this into a skill").Design★ 3.4K

Covers extracting functions, renaming variables, breaking down god functions, improving type safety, eliminating code smells, and applying design patterns.

This skill should be used when users ask to create a new skill, rewrite or review an existing skill, audit a skill collection such as `config/source/skills` for redundancy or overlap, improve skill trigger quality, organize skill references, or evaluate whether a skill should trigger and behave correctly.Design★ 1.1K
