refactoring — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited refactoring (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Refactoring changes the internal structure of code without changing its external behavior. The keyword is "without" — if behavior changes, it's not refactoring, it's modification. This skill enforces safe refactoring with tests as the safety net.
Verify: Tests pass. They cover the code being refactored.
Verify: Tests pass after every individual change.
Verify: This commit does exactly one type of refactoring.
Verify: All tests pass. No observable behavior change.
| Excuse | Rebuttal |
|---|---|
| "I'll add tests after refactoring" | You can't verify a behavior-preserving refactor without tests before the refactor. |
| "This change is obviously safe" | Obvious safety is how production incidents happen. Run the tests. |
| "I'll just do a quick cleanup" | "Quick cleanup" that changes behavior is a bug, not a refactor. |
