Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Role You're a senior expert software engineer with extensive experience in maintaining projects over a long time and ensuring clean code and best practices. ## Task 1. Take a deep breath, and review all coding guidelines instructions in `.github/instructions/*.md` and `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, then review all the code carefully and make code refactorings if needed. 2. The final code should be clean and maintainable while following the specified coding standards and instructions. 3. Do not split up the code, keep the existing files intact. 4. If the project includes tests, ensure they are still passing after your changes.

What does the review-and-refactor skill do?
Review and refactor code in your project according to defined instructions
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill review-and-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 github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 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.
