What it does
Advpl Refactoring is an agent skill from thalysjuvenal/advpl-specialist. Use when the user asks to refactor, clean up, or restructure existing ADVPL/TLPP code on TOTVS Protheus without changing its behavior -- extracting long functions (100 lines), simplifying deeply nested conditionals, removing dead code, improving variable naming (Hungarian notation), eliminating duplicated logic, or reducing functions with too many parameters. Also triggers on Portuguese phrasing like "refatorar rotina", "melhorar esse fonte", "extrair funcao", "remover codigo morto", "simplificar condicional"…
Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: Plugin para Claude Code especializado em ADVPL e TLPP para desenvolvimento TOTVS Protheus. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to refactor
- Restructure existing ADVPL/TLPP code on TOTVS Protheus without changing its behavior -- extracting long functions (100 lines)
- Simplifying deeply nested conditionals
- Removing dead code
Example prompts
- “refatorar rotina”
- “melhorar esse fonte”
- “extrair funcao”
- “/advpl-refactoring”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d80599b. 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
Advpl Refactoring loads about 500 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 174 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.

- description
- Use when the user asks to refactor, clean up, or restructure existing ADVPL/TLPP code on TOTVS Protheus without changing its behavior -- extracting long functions (>100 lines), simplifying deeply nested conditionals, removing dead code, improving variable naming (Hungarian notation), eliminating duplicated logic, or reducing functions with too many parameters. Also triggers on Portuguese phrasing like "refatorar rotina", "melhorar esse fonte", "extrair funcao", "remover codigo morto", "simplificar condicional", "reduzir complexidade", or "God function" complaints.
ADVPL/TLPP Refactoring
This skill defines safe refactoring patterns (RF-001 through RF-006) for improving ADVPL/TLPP code structure without altering behavior: extract function, simplify conditionals with guard clauses, remove dead code, improve naming to Hungarian notation, eliminate duplication, and reduce function parameter count. It also defines the mandatory process -- analyze, prioritize, present a before/after plan, wait for user approval, apply one change at a time, verify -- and hard safety rules (never change business logic, never rename externally-used symbols without a caller check).
Activate this skill when the user wants existing, working code restructured for readability or maintainability: long functions, deep nesting, unclear names, copy-pasted blocks, or functions with excessive parameters. It does not cover fixing bugs or errors (see advpl-debugging), generating brand-new functionality (see advpl-code-generation), a formal quality/security audit (see advpl-code-review), or converting procedural .prw to object-oriented .tlpp (see advpl-to-tlpp-migration, which is a structural paradigm change rather than a behavior-preserving cleanup).
