What it does
Refactoring Analysis is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Audit code quality and architectural health or plan refactoring using Fowler code smells and techniques; write prioritized findings to docs/refacs/. Excludes formatting, performance, and security audits.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/refactoring-report-template.md`, `checklists/analysis-checklist.md` and `references/code-smells-catalog.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
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
Refactoring Analysis loads about 513 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 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: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 212 words (~513 tokens).

Refactoring Analysis is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Audit code quality and architectural health or plan refactoring using Fowler code smells and techniques; write prioritized findings to docs/refacs/.
When should I use Refactoring Analysis?
Refactoring Analysis fits situations like: tasks that involve Refactoring.
How do I install Refactoring Analysis in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add pedronauck/skills --skill refactoring-analysis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/mine/refactoring-analysis in pedronauck/skills) into .claude/skills/refactoring-analysis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Refactoring Analysis in Codex?
Run `npx skills add pedronauck/skills --skill refactoring-analysis -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/mine/refactoring-analysis in pedronauck/skills) into .agents/skills/refactoring-analysis in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Refactoring Analysis in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add pedronauck/skills --skill refactoring-analysis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/refactoring-analysis, .gemini/skills/refactoring-analysis, .github/skills/refactoring-analysis and .opencode/skills/refactoring-analysis in your project.
What does Refactoring Analysis need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Refactoring Analysis needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Refactoring Analysis access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Refactoring Analysis safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md flagged 1 warning(s): tells the agent its actions are pre-authorized / not to stop for confirmation. Read the flagged lines before installing; the check is not a guarantee either way. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Refactoring Analysis use?
No licence was found for Refactoring Analysis or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Refactoring Analysis use?
About 513 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 6.4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Refactoring Analysis?
