Prompt Refactor Agent Skill

Prompt Refactor Compatibility Skill

Goal

Preserve legacy prompt-refactor activation while simplifying approved prompt-engineering artifacts through the hve-builder refactor route and its independent quality gates.

Flow

• Translate promptFiles to existing targets and resolve the behavior that must remain unchanged.
• When requirements are omitted, use the HVE Builder baseline review to derive evidence-backed cleanup objectives.
• Activate hve-builder with mode=refactor, the approved write boundary, requirements, and any caller-owned evidence root.
• Return the HVE Builder static verdict, behavior-test fidelity and verdict, validation result, and overall outcome.

Inputs

• promptFiles: existing prompt-engineering artifacts to refactor
• requirements: optional cleanup objectives, constraints, and preserved behavior
• evidenceRoot: optional caller-owned HVE Builder evidence path

Success Criteria

• The approved targets are simpler without unintended behavior change.
• Static review, behavior testing, and host validation pass.
• Source changes stay inside the approved write boundary.
• The returned overall outcome is unchanged from hve-builder.

Constraints

• Do not dispatch retired named lifecycle workers.
• Do not create a second orchestration loop or sandbox contract.
• Route a requested type change, artifact split, or new support artifact back through HVE Builder scope approval.

Stop Rules

• Stop Pass only when the HVE Builder refactor route passes every required gate.
• Preserve Revise, Deferred, or Blocked and its rerun condition.
• Ask when preserved behavior or write scope cannot be inferred safely.

Handoff

Use prompt-analyze for read-only follow-up review and prompt-builder when the requested work intentionally changes behavior or creates artifacts.

Final Response Contract

Return targets, changed files, refactor rationale, static verdict, behavior-test fidelity and verdict, validation result, overall outcome, evidence links, and next action.
