When to use
Use this skill when asked to:
- clean up, simplify, refactor, or make more readable
- reduce duplication / improve naming / reorganize code
- improve maintainability without changing observable behavior
Rules
- Only refactor after verification is green for the current task.
- Preserve behavior: no semantic changes, no API changes unless explicitly requested.
- Keep diffs small and reviewable.
- Avoid introducing new dependencies unless explicitly approved.
- Follow
AGENTS.mdand the task handoff protocol intasks/.
Method
- Confirm the latest
tasks/<date>_<slug>/20_verification.mdis green. - Apply a small, focused refactor.
- Re-run the same checks used by the Verifier.
- Append a rerun transcript and summary to
20_verification.md.
Output requirements
- Summarize what was simplified and why.
- Update
20_verification.mdwith the rerun transcript.
