Refactoring by Martin Fowler

Rules from agent-rules-books (MIT). Follow rules.md for this task.

• Full reference: reference.md
• Compact fallback: rules.nano.md (if present)
• Book compatibility: COMPATIBILITY.md

Precedence

When editing this NixOS flake (/etc/nixos), @edit-nixos and bestpracticesnixos.md override general coding rules. Use this skill for code quality within those constraints.

Usage

1. Load one primary book skill per task (see compatibility matrix for overlaps).
2. Read and apply rules.md before implementing or reviewing.
3. Consult reference.md only when the mini rules are insufficient.
