Use when code needs restructuring without changing observable behavior.
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
## Purpose Restructure code in small, safe steps while preserving all externally observable behavior. Prevents refactor regressions where behavior silently changes. ## When to Use - Code needs structural improvement but its public API must remain unchanged. - Naming, organization, or duplication needs cleanup after a feature is complete. - Technical debt needs reduction without introducing risk. Do not use this skill if there are no existing tests — write tests first. ## Inputs - Code to refactor. - Existing test suite (required). - Optional: specific goals (extract function, rename module, remove duplication). ## Workflow 1. **Confirm behavior** — Run the test suite. All tests must pass before starting. 2. **Plan** — List the structural changes. Check each for API impact. 3. **Refactor in small steps** — One change at a time, each independently reversible. 4. **Avoid interface changes** — Do not alter public APIs, exported types, or CLI behavior unless explicitly intended. 5. **Validate after each step** — Re-run targeted tests after each meaningful change. ## Output ```markdown Changed: - <structural change 1> - <structural change 2> …

How to install
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/safe-refactor@sha256:4be2e32a79fb55ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.26a6bfa, 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.
