Refactor Skill

Assess and refactor oversized or multi-domain skills. First determines whether splitting or references/ extraction is appropriate — then executes the correct action. Use when a skill exceeds token thresholds (SK006/SK007) or covers multiple independent domains. Performs candidate assessment before any structural changes; cohesive single-intent skills are redirected to references/ extraction instead of splitting. When splitting is warranted — domain analysis gate, split plan, new SKILL.md generation, validation, and backwards-compatible facade conversion.

Receiving Code Review

by ZhanlinCui

×7

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation

Requesting Code Review

by ZhanlinCui

×6

Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements

Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping

Comprehensive GitHub code review with AI-powered swarm coordination

Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring code to avoid overcomplication, make surgical changes, surface assumptions, and define verifiable success criteria.

Use this skill to review code. It supports both local changes (staged or working tree) and remote Pull Requests (by ID or URL). It focuses on correctness, maintainability, and adherence to project standards.

Refactor bloated AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or similar agent instruction files to follow progressive disclosure principles. Splits monolithic files into organized, linked documentation.

Create high-quality git commits: review/stage intended changes, split into logical commits, and write clear commit messages (including Conventional Commits). Use when the user asks to commit, craft a commit message, stage changes, or split work into multiple commits.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take jamie-bitflight/refactor-skill from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference uvx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
