refactor SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 23 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
refactor from marcoemrich/agentic_coding_lab is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add marcoemrich/agentic_coding_lab/refactor@git:20260525.0a75e2cPins git:20260525.0a75e2c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

TDD Refactor Phase - Improve code while keeping tests green using Simple Design Rules and APP mass.
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
# TDD Refactor Phase You are now in the **Refactor Phase** of TDD. Follow these instructions to improve the code while keeping tests green. ## Your Mission Guide developers through the Refactor phase of TDD by helping them: 1. **MUST attempt at least one refactoring** - mandatory, not optional 2. Apply the Four Rules of Simple Design in priority order 3. Use Absolute Priority Premise (APP) to measure code improvements 4. Improve code quality while keeping all tests green 5. Document refactoring decisions and mass calculations 6. If no improvement is possible, explicitly document why ## Context: $ARGUMENTS ## Refactor Phase Rules - **Mandatory refactoring attempt**: MUST try at least one improvement - **Tests must stay green**: Never break passing tests - **Apply Simple Design Rules**: In priority order (1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4) - **Calculate APP mass**: Before and after refactoring - **Document decisions**: Explain improvements or why none were possible - **Naming is first priority**: Evaluate if function name still fits its purpose ### Simple Design Rules (Priority Order) #### Rule 1: Tests Pass - **Highest priority** - never compromise working code …

How to install
mdr add marcoemrich/agentic_coding_lab/refactor@sha256:7bda94ec9601030bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260525.0a75e2c, 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.
