Run it yourself

Restructure code while preserving behavior. Use for extraction, consolidation, ownership moves, or cleanup where verification must bracket structural edits.

Use this Skill: https://skilld.dev/gh/juliusbrussee/caveman/safe-refactor

Nothing lands on disk. Nothing to clean up.

Fork this Skill

Edit a local copy. It keeps the author and licence.

SKILL.md

≈43 tokens for metadata: the name and description. ≈127 when used: this file. ≈51 more on demand in 1 file.

Description uses 2.1% of example budget

Before choosing a Skill, your Agent reads its name and description. All available Skills share that space.

  • A shorter description leaves more room for other Skills. This entry exceeds our 1% size suggestion.

In our Claude Code example, all Skill names and descriptions share 8,000 characters. This Skill uses ≈172 characters, or 2.1%.

The 1% threshold is a size suggestion. Longer descriptions can still fit.

Your model, settings, and other Skills decide how much text your Agent can read.

Example settings and source

The example uses a 200k-token context and default Claude Code settings. The count includes the name, description, separators, and when_to_use when present. Codex also counts local file paths.

Skit's source and limits: Codex 0.160.1, Claude Code 2.1.292.

Safe refactor

Define behavior-preservation boundary and establish verification before structural edits.

  • Keep feature changes outside refactor.
  • Move one ownership boundary at a time.
  • Preserve public interfaces, failure behavior, ordering, and compatibility unless explicitly scoped.
  • Keep intermediate states buildable and testable.
  • Avoid dependency or configuration growth without correctness need.

Run same proof after change. Stop when behavior matches and requested structure is achieved.

No rule matched.

skilld matched fixed text patterns in SKILL.md and file names. Patterns miss obfuscated code.

skilld run checks every file with the same patterns. It asks for approval before it loads a Skill with a behavior marked Needs approval.
