What it does
Review And Refactor is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Review and refactor code in your project according to defined instructions
Its SKILL.md is about 190 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. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Refactoring
Example prompts
- “/review-and-refactor”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Take a deep breath, and review all coding guidelines instructions in .github/instructions/*.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md, then…
- The final code should be clean and maintainable while following the specified coding standards and instructions.
- Do not split up the code, keep the existing files intact.
- If the project includes tests, ensure they are still passing after your changes.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Review And Refactor loads about 193 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 95 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 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.
