Perform bounded, behavior-preserving frontend refactors such as component extraction, file moves, prop or interface cleanup, state simplification, and TypeScript tightening. Excludes bugfixes, features, redesign, packages, and unapproved behavior changes.
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
# Frontend Refactor Surgeon ## Purpose Refactor frontend code while preserving behavior, rendered output, and public contracts unless the user explicitly approves a behavior change. Refactor verification may use a bounded loop for related failures, but the refactor must not expand into feature work or broad rewrite. ## When To Use Use this skill when the user asks to simplify or reorganize frontend code, extract components, hooks, utilities, or styles, tighten TypeScript types, remove duplication within a clear frontend boundary, decompose mixed-responsibility components, or prepare code for a future change without adding the feature yet. ## When Not To Use Do not use this skill for bugfix-first debugging, new feature implementation, design/spec work, visual QA only, broad rewrites without a boundary, backend refactors, package installation, or testing workflow creation. Use `frontend-bugfix-debugger` when the primary goal is to fix a defect. ## Required Context 1. Read `AGENTS.md`. 2. Read `common/prompt-intent-routing-rules.md` when workflow level is unclear. 3. Read `common/refactor-safety-rules.md`. …

How to install
mdr add ytvee-dev/webdev-agent-kit/frontend-refactor-surgeon@sha256:71db31a7a14e259eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.7e396c9, 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.
