How does it ensure my code doesn't break?

The skill includes a critical verification step that automatically runs your project's test suite. If tests fail, it analyzes the failure and fixes the code until all tests pass.

Can I review changes before they are applied?

Yes, for substantial changes, the skill provides a plan and asks for user confirmation before proceeding with the refactoring step.

Which programming languages does the Refactor skill support?

The skill is language-agnostic and works with any language where a standard test runner (like npm, pytest, go test, or cargo) is configured.

What kind of report does it provide after refactoring?

It provides a 'Refactoring Complete' summary including the specific files modified, a side-by-side 'Before' and 'After' code block, and a summary of test results.
