At a glance
Refactoring rules for Handsontable code: SOLID applied to plugins, Law of Demeter fixes, performance patterns and strict protection of backward compatibility.
- Splitting an oversized Handsontable plugin or core module
- SKILL.md covers Conventions over configuration, Handsontable specifics, Patterns and Breaking changes protection, plus 2 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Redesigning an API while old names must keep working
What it does
The skill translates design principles into Handsontable terms. Each plugin owns one concern, new logic extends the system through hooks, plugins keep to the `BasePlugin` contract and narrow public APIs, and one plugin reaches another only through `hot.getPlugin()` instead of importing its class. Long call chains such as the one through `this.hot.view.wt.wtTable.holder` are replaced with a method on the intermediate layer. Settings that naming or location conventions already express should not become new options.
Pattern notes cover moving a second concern out of `core.js` into its own plugin, using a `forEach` loop where spreading a huge array into `push` overflows the stack, batching render cycles and scroll work, and modernizing code with `#privateFields` and arrow-function class fields. A table protects compatibility: default setting values, legacy CSS classes and legacy API names stay, deprecated APIs get a one-time warning, and removed hooks go on a removed list. Cognitive complexity is capped at 15 per function.
When your agent uses it
- Splitting an oversized Handsontable plugin or core module
- Redesigning an API while old names must keep working
- Speeding up code that renders or processes very large arrays
- Modernizing older class code without changing public behavior
Example prompts
- “Extract the column sorting indicator logic from this plugin into its own plugin that talks through hooks.”
- “Rename the old setting but keep the legacy name working with a one-time warning.”
- “Replace the spread-based push call in this renderer with a loop that will not overflow the stack.”
Requirements
- A checkout of the Handsontable repository
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 68b5e97. 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
Handsontable Refactoring Rules loads about 815 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 378 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 378 words (~815 tokens).
“Eliminate config that naming, location, or type conventions already express. Use auto-discovery or lifecycle hooks in place of new options or wiring.”
