Code Refactorer

Purpose

Refactor existing code to be cleaner, more maintainable, and better structured — without changing observable behavior.

Inputs

• Optional arguments: analyze, split, dedup, rename, status

• Path to a file or directory to refactor

• Template paths are resolved from ${AGENTS_SKILLS_ROOT}/code-refactorer/.

Steps

1. Follow the command specification in ${AGENTS_SKILLS_ROOT}/code-refactorer/commands/code-refactorer.md exactly.
2. Generate code-refactorer/REFACTOR_REPORT.md and a patch/diff of all changes.

Capabilities

Capability	Description
Rewrite messy functions	Flatten deep nesting, reduce complexity, simplify logic
Split large files	Break files exceeding size thresholds into focused modules
Remove duplication	Extract repeated logic into shared utilities
Improve naming	Rename symbols to clearly express intent
Enforce structure	Apply consistent layout, ordering, and module boundaries
Preserve behavior	Verify tests pass before and after every change

Output

• Refactored source files (in-place or via patch)
• code-refactorer/REFACTOR_REPORT.md summarising every change made and why
