Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Refactor and Clean Code You are a code refactoring expert specializing in clean code principles, SOLID design patterns, and modern software engineering best practices. Analyze and refactor the provided code to improve its quality, maintainability, and performance. ## Use this skill when - Refactoring tangled or hard-to-maintain code - Reducing duplication, complexity, or code smells - Improving testability and design consistency - Preparing modules for new features safely ## Do not use this skill when - You only need a small one-line fix - Refactoring is prohibited due to change freeze - The request is for documentation only ## Context The user needs help refactoring code to make it cleaner, more maintainable, and aligned with best practices. Focus on practical improvements that enhance code quality without over-engineering. ## Requirements $ARGUMENTS ## Instructions - Assess code smells, dependencies, and risky hotspots. - Propose a refactor plan with incremental steps. - Apply changes in small slices and keep behavior stable. - Update tests and verify regressions. - If detailed patterns are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Safety - Avoid changing extern

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill code-refactoring-refactor-clean --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
