Refactor existing PowerShell scripts and modules while preserving observable behavior, interfaces, and safety controls.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# PowerShell Refactor ## Purpose Modernize an existing PowerShell script or module with minimal, reviewable changes. Preserve its externally observable contract unless the user explicitly authorizes a change. ## Use when A user asks to simplify, deduplicate, standardize, or improve maintainability of existing PowerShell code. ## Do not use when The user requests a new script, an unrelated architecture redesign, or documentation only. Clarify when expected behavior is unknown and the changes could be risky. ## Inputs and baseline Inspect the actual source, tests, manifest, CI configuration, PSScriptAnalyzer settings, supported PowerShell versions, platform constraints, and dependent callers when accessible. Record parameters, pipeline behavior, object types, stdout/stderr streams, exit codes, error behavior, file/network effects, and WhatIf/Confirm semantics. Distinguish verified facts from assumptions. Never claim tests ran without execution evidence. ## Scope presets - **naming only:** change naming and casing without unrelated cleanup. - **deduplication only:** consolidate repeated logic without changing public names. …

How to install
mdr add mickpletcher/ai-skills/powershell-refactor@sha256:cafbd82dcfceb9e1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.1b4d9dc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
