refactor from boshu2/agentops is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add boshu2/agentops/refactor@git:20261021.71bc1e4Pins git:20261021.71bc1e4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Restructure or clean up code with no behavior change, proved by before-and-after checks. Use when: asked to clean up, extract, dedupe or simplify, even one function.
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
# Refactor — one structural experiment Refactor changes structure while preserving observable behavior. It performs one caller-selected transformation and reports the result. "Behavior-preserving" is a claim to prove with before/after checks, never to assert. ## What counts as behavior Unless the caller explicitly excluded a surface, all of these must survive: - **Messages and exit codes.** Error and output text compares byte-for-byte; exit codes, error types and which input raises which error stay the same. Scripts and callers parse them. Preserve an inconsistent message and report it; normalizing it is a behavior change. - **Differences between near-duplicates.** When merging duplicated branches, carry every difference (constants, comparisons, messages, extra steps) as a parameter or a branch. Do not unify a difference the caller has not declared accidental. - **Interfaces.** Public signatures, defaults, return types, persisted field names, protocol values and CLI flags. Renaming one is a compatibility change unless the accepted scope provides for it. - **Order and coverage.** Branch priority, default handling, evaluation count, …

How to install
mdr add boshu2/agentops/refactor@sha256:07726aaa28c9d95fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.71bc1e4, 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.
