refactor skillA

refactor is agent-read markdown (skill) from genai-io/san: Restructure existing code without changing its behavior — extract, rename, inline, split, deduplicate, reshape — with tests holding behavior fixed before and after. Scoped to structure only: no new features, no bug fixes, no behavior changes. Use when the user says "refactor", "clean up the structure", "extract this", "split this file", "untangle", or "restructure"..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add genai-io/san/refactor@git:20260717.120e9bb
Exact content
mdr add genai-io/san/refactor@sha256:103cd98082dc948a

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
