  • Works in 6 steps: Project Partition (Required) → Key Identification (Required) → Architecture Layer Analysis (Required) → …

What it does

Vibecoding Refactor is an agent skill from GCWing/vibecoding-refactor-skill. Vibe Coding Engineering Refactoring Methodology. Systematically refactor AI-generated code through architecture-layer and module-layer deep analysis, discovering duplicate implementations, unused resources, inconsistent patterns, and other typical problems. Supports persistent task management for incremental execution. Use when asked to refactor code, clean up patches, improve code quality, analyze architecture, or optimize codebase.

Its SKILL.md is about 6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 27 other files (for example `README.md`, `README.zh-CN.md` and `analysis/architecture-analysis.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to refactor code
  • Clean up patches
  • Improve code quality
  • Analyze architecture

Example prompts

  • “/vibecoding-refactor”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Project Partition (Required)
  2. Key Identification (Required)
  3. Architecture Layer Analysis (Required)
  4. Module Layer Analysis (Core!)
  5. Execute Refactoring
  6. Finalize and Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccc15c5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg
    • cargo
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Vibecoding Refactor loads about 6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,011 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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 1,011 words (~5,978 tokens).

“A complete methodology for systematically refactoring AI-generated code, supporting task splitting, persistence, and incremental execution for large refactoring projects.”
