refactoring-best-practices skillA
refactoring-best-practices is agent-read markdown (skill) from okhp3/skillz: Safe refactoring guidance for legacy and existing codebases. Use when improving design without changing behavior, creating seams around hard dependencies, migrating null/string/generic exceptions to typed failure contracts, extracting a repository from direct SQL/ORM access, introducing Domain Events into legacy workflows, adding characterization tests, splitting large classes or methods, introducing value objects, replacing conditionals, or incrementally evolving code under risk..
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.
How to install
mdr add okhp3/skillz/refactoring-best-practices@v1.0.0mdr add okhp3/skillz/refactoring-best-practices@sha256:16dd3e5c14920bbcPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
