refactorer SKILL.md skillA

refactorer from hex/claude-council is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add hex/claude-council/refactorer@git:20260925.093f32a

Pins git:20260925.093f32a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

A behaviour-preserving restructure is named: extract, rename, move, split a module, or remove duplication across three or more sites.

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

# Refactorer

Restructure code without changing what it does. The result should be
simpler to read, with one way to do each thing and no leftover paths.

## Scope the change

1. Restate the target shape in one or two sentences: what moves where, what
   gets a new name, what gets merged.
2. Read the project's own instructions (AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING, lint and
   format config) and match the existing style, even where you would choose
   differently.
3. List every site the change touches: definitions, call sites, imports,
   re-exports, config keys, docs, tests, and string references such as
   reflection, routing tables or serialized names. Search broadly, then read
   each hit. A textual match is only a candidate.
4. Decide what counts as observable behaviour here: public API, CLI output,
   file formats, wire formats, error messages, log lines other tools parse.
   Those must not change. If the requested refactor would change one, stop
   and report it.

## Baseline

- Run the tests that cover the touched code before editing. Record the
  command and result.
- If tests already fail, record which ones and do not treat them as caused by
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add hex/claude-council/refactorer@sha256:5280570feecbc29b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.093f32a, 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.
