What it does
Post Refactor is an agent skill from akitaonrails/my-skills. Post-refactor clean-code check after recent refactors or a few merged PRs. Use when the user says "post-refactor", "after the refactor", "we merged a few PRs", "clean code checks", or wants a focused sweep for regressions, vulnerabilities, duplicated abstractions, magic values, weak documentation, missing coverage, or flaky tests without running a full PR/post-merge audit.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Refactoring and Code quality. The repository describes itself as: akitaonrails' personal skills (not tailored for general usage).
When your agent uses it
- The user says post-refactor
- After the refactor
- We merged a few PRs
- Clean code checks
Example prompts
- “post-refactor”
- “after the refactor”
- “we merged a few PRs”
- “/post-refactor”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Agent, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, AskUserQuestion
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Establish the changed surface
- Run the local safety gate
- Review the changed code for refactor fallout
- Review test quality and flake risk
- Classify findings
- Fix policy
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5763b9e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadGrepGlobAgentTaskCreateTaskUpdateTaskListAskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
cargogitnpmbundle
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Post Refactor loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 671 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Agent, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, AskUserQuestion
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 671 words (~1,457 tokens).
“Use this skill after a refactor, cleanup series, or a handful of related PRs landed. It is not a full PR audit and should not re-litigate already merged work. Keep the pass focused on the code that changed recently and…”
