# Orchestrate Batch Refactor ## Overview Use this skill to run high-throughput refactors safely. Analyze scope in parallel, synthesize a single plan, then execute independent work packets with sub-agents. ## When to Use - When a refactor spans many files or subsystems and needs clear work partitioning. - When you need dependency-aware planning before parallel implementation. ## Inputs - Repo path and target scope (paths, modules, or feature area) - Goal type: refactor, rewrite, or hybrid - Constraints: behavior parity, API stability, deadlines, test requirements ## When to Use Parallelization - Use this skill for medium/large scope touching many files or subsystems. - Skip multi-agent execution for tiny edits or highly coupled single-file work. ## Core Workflow 1. Define scope and success criteria. - List target paths/modules and non-goals. - State behavior constraints (for example: preserve external behavior). 2. Run parallel analysis first. - Split target scope into analysis lanes. - Spawn `explorer` sub-agents in parallel to analyze each lane. - Ask each agent for: intent map, coupling risks, candidate work packets, required validations. 3. Build one dependency-aware plan. - Mer

About this skill
What does the orchestrate-batch-refactor skill do?

Plan and execute large refactors with dependency-aware work packets and parallel analysis.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill orchestrate-batch-refactor --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.
