Side-route skill for planning refactors as safe, tiny-commit RFCs. Use when the user wants a structured refactor plan before implementation. Feeds approved refactor work back into /execute. Not for new-feature shaping or already-concrete implementation tasks.
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
# Request Refactor Plan This is a side-route skill for work that is primarily about restructuring code safely rather than shaping a new feature. ## Invocation Position Use `/request-refactor-plan` when the user wants a refactor RFC, a tiny-commit migration path, or a safer way to reorganize code without jumping straight into implementation. Do not use it when the work is still a product-shaping problem for `/write-a-prd`, or when the refactor task is already concrete enough to execute directly in `/execute`. This skill will be invoked when the user wants to create a refactor request. You should go through the steps below. You may skip steps if you don't consider them necessary. 1. Ask the user for a long, detailed description of the problem they want to solve and any potential ideas for solutions. 2. Explore the repo to verify their assertions and understand the current state of the codebase. 3. Ask whether they have considered other options, and present other options to them. 4. Interview the user about the implementation. Be extremely detailed and thorough. …

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/request-refactor-plan@sha256:a4ca708b45daec7dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260407.d6d717b, 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.
