Automated Project Refactor

About

The refactor-project skill is a high-autonomy tool designed for large-scale code maintenance and technical debt reduction. It utilizes a specialized code-simplifier agent to perform aggressive, project-wide improvements without requiring step-by-step user confirmation. By analyzing the entire repository structure, the skill identifies cross-file duplication, removes legacy compatibility hacks, and applies consistent architectural patterns, allowing developers to modernize aging codebases or cleanup complex logic in minutes rather than hours.

Key Features
