What it does

Refactor is an agent skill from greenfield-inc/Pane. Post-PR refactor pass. Sizes the diff against the remote default branch, fans out refactor-simple (and refactor-deep on large changes) as fresh subagents that run blind to each other, merges their plans once with max-severity rules, shows the merged report, and hands it to refactor-apply on the user's word. Use after a PR is open, or whenever the user asks to refactor or clean up the branch.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/specialist-review.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring and Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Terminal-first, open-source AI agent manager for any CLI agent (agent agnostic), any OS (mac, windows, linux). The Open-Source Agentic Development Environment for running…

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to refactor
  • Clean up the branch

Example prompts

  • “/refactor”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Size the change
  2. Fan out, independently
  3. Merge once
  4. Stop for the user
  5. Apply, then prove it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b08541d. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Refactor loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,296 words (~2,306 tokens).

“One command for the post-PR quality pass. It sizes the change, runs the right analyses independently, merges once, stops for the user, then applies. It is a manual post-PR quality pass. It changes the head, so run it before QA…”
