refactor-radar skillA
refactor-radar is agent-read markdown (skill) from eltmon/overdeck: AI self-monitoring skill. Detects architectural debt, confusing schemas, inconsistent patterns that cause repeated AI mistakes. Offers to create refactoring proposals as issues. NOT user-invoked - AI triggers when detecting systemic codebase issues causing confusion..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Refactor Radar Detects systemic codebase issues that repeatedly confuse AI assistants and offers to create refactoring proposals. ## When to Trigger (Self-Assessment) **IMPORTANT:** This skill is NOT user-invoked. Trigger when you detect patterns that will cause ONGOING confusion, not one-time mistakes. ### Architectural Smells (High Confidence) 1. **Inconsistent Naming Across Layers** [category: `naming`] - DB uses snake_case, API uses camelCase, frontend uses kebab-case - Same concept has different names in different places (`user`, `account`, `member`) - Example: `users.created_at` → API returns `createdAt` → Frontend displays `creation-date` 2. **Schema/Model Mismatch** [category: `schema`] - ORM models don't match actual DB schema - TypeScript types don't match API responses - Documentation describes different structure than code - Example: Type says `user.email: string` but DB allows null 3. **Inconsistent Patterns in Same Codebase** [category: `patterns`] - Some services use Repository pattern, others direct DB access - Mixed async patterns (callbacks, promises, async/await) - Multiple state management approaches in same frontend …
