refactor-plan SKILL.md skillA
refactor-plan from vivantel/kms is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vivantel/kms/refactor-plan@git:20260830.b13e8e9Pins git:20260830.b13e8e9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Produces a safe, phased refactoring plan that respects existing decisions and guardrails, without writing anything. Use when the user wants a refactor planned against what the project has already committed to, e.g. "plan a refactor of the payment module to use Stripe instead of Braintree", "plan migrating from REST to GraphQL".
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
Given a refactoring goal, produce a phased plan grounded in the project's existing knowledge base — without writing to disk.
## Phase 1: query the knowledge base
Search `docs/{facts,decisions,guardrails,skills}/` for anything relevant — constraining decisions, guardrails the refactor must not violate, facts bearing on feasibility. Cite every artifact by path, the same discipline `query` uses. If nothing relevant is found, say so plainly rather than proceeding as if the knowledge base had settled something it didn't.
## Phase 2: map dependencies
Identify what the refactor touches and what depends on it — call sites, config, other modules, external consumers. Do this directly (read the code, follow references); don't assume access to `lint` or any other skill running as a sub-step. If the knowledge base bears on the dependency map, separately recommend running `lint` before/after for full validation — but the map itself doesn't depend on that recommendation being followed.
## Phase 3: produce the phased plan
Ordered phases, each with:
- **Steps** — concrete, in order.
- **Verification checkpoint** — how to confirm this phase succeeded before starting the next.

How to install
mdr add vivantel/kms/refactor-plan@sha256:3c438dd37ce871ceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.b13e8e9, 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.
