Skills for Code review and refactoring

Skills for Code review and refactoring: what each one does, an install command and example prompts.

improve-codebase-architecture Matt Pocock skill This skill scans a codebase for architectural friction, then builds a visual HTML report with refactoring candidates. Use it before a deeper architecture review. 1,163,035installs tdd Matt Pocock skill Guides the red-green TDD loop: ensures tests are written first, keep them at public interfaces, and avoid coupling to implementation details. 1,141,062installs triage Matt Pocock skill This skill moves issues and external PRs through triage states, verification, and agent briefs. It fits maintainers managing an issue queue. 990,453installs codebase-design Matt Pocock skill This skill helps design modules with small interfaces and hidden complexity. Use it when refactoring code, choosing a seam, or making tests easier to write. 850,344installs code-review Matt Pocock skill Reviews changes from a chosen reference point against repository standards and the originating spec. Use it for a branch, PR, or work in progress. 789,521installs implement Matt Pocock skill Implements work from a specification or tickets, following a test-driven flow and ending with review and a commit. Use it when a coding task needs a defined delivery routine. 774,700installs migrate-to-shoehorn Matt Pocock skill Replaces as type assertions in tests with helpers from @total-typescript/shoehorn. Use it when tests need partial objects or deliberately invalid data. 475,388installs systematic-debugging Jesse Vincent skill Makes the agent investigate the cause of a failure before it suggests a patch. Use it for failing tests, build errors, and behaviour that does not match expectations. CX Codex 306,118installs requesting-code-review Jesse Vincent skill Sends completed work to a reviewer subagent after a task, major feature, or before merging to main. It keeps the review focused on the change and its requirements. CX Codex 262,135installs test-driven-development Jesse Vincent skill This skill guides an agent through test-first development: verify a test fails, write the smallest passing change, then refactor. It covers features, bug fixes, and behavior changes. CX Codex 259,292installs verification-before-completion Jesse Vincent skill This skill blocks completion claims until the agent runs a fresh check and reads the result. Use it before commits or PRs when an agent report is not enough. CX Codex 251,313installs executing-plans Jesse Vincent skill Runs an implementation plan in the current session instead of assigning each task to a subagent. Use it for inline work with TDD, a decision ledger, and a final branch review. CX Codex 242,988installs subagent-driven-development Jesse Vincent skill This skill runs an implementation plan through fresh subagents for independent tasks and reviews each result. Use it for multi-step work in one session. CX Codex 237,746installs receiving-code-review Jesse Vincent skill Reviews code review feedback before changes: it clarifies unclear points, checks the repository, and supports reasoned pushback. Use it before acting on review comments. CX Codex 221,216installs retro Matt Pocock skill Reviews a coding session and suggests changes to the agent environment for later runs. Use it after mistakes, slow repository navigation, or costly tool calls. 276,027installs caveman-review JuliusBrussee skill Turns code review comments into one line per finding: location, problem, fix. Useful when a diff or PR needs a fast pass without the filler. CX Codex +1 411,800installs cavecrew JuliusBrussee skill cavecrew delegates code searches, small edits, and diff reviews to three subagents. Use it when keeping the main agent's context lean matters. CX Codex +1 359,000installs karpathy-guidelines multica-ai skill Guidelines that cut typical LLM coding mistakes: less overcomplication, surgical edits, verifiable outcomes. CX Codex +1 42,700installs vercel-composition-patterns vercel skill A rule set that pushes your agent away from boolean props and toward compound components, shared context and state lifted into providers. CX Codex +1 418,600installs ponytail DietrichGebert skill ponytail puts an agent into a senior-dev mode focused on the smallest complete change. Use it when you want clear replies and less code added to a project. CX Codex +1 106,200installs emil-design-eng emilkowalski skill This skill guides UI polish, component details, and animation choices. Use it when an interface works but its states and transitions need closer review. CX Codex +1 388,200installs review-animations emilkowalski skill Reviews UI animation and motion code against Emil Kowalski's design standards. Flags slow easings, non-GPU properties, and unnecessary transitions. CX Codex +1 256,500installs ponytail-review DietrichGebert skill ponytail-review reviews a change beyond the diff, checking connected code, bugs, risks, load, tests, speed, and unnecessary code. Use it for PRs and commits. CX Codex +1 57,000installs improve-animations emilkowalski skill Surveys motion and animation code across your project, then generates self-contained fix plans. It spots janky keyframes and poor easing without altering source files. CX Codex +1 224,200installs find-animation-opportunities emilkowalski skill Scans a codebase or UI for motion that would clarify states and interactions, while rejecting decoration that gets in the way. It is read-only. CX Codex +1 208,900installs caveman-explore JuliusBrussee skill A read-only skill locates relevant files and line ranges in a repository. Use it for cold-start orientation or broad searches. CX Codex +1 107,500installs caveman-learn JuliusBrussee skill This skill reads Caveman learn reports, proposes token-cost reductions, and asks for consent before each edit. Use it for heavy CLAUDE.md files or repeated context. CX Codex +1 106,700installs safe-refactor JuliusBrussee skill Restructures code while preserving existing behavior, enforcing verification boundaries before structural edits. CX Codex +1 106,500installs caveman-optimize JuliusBrussee skill This skill turns a Caveman report observation into an operator-selected candidate and a paired baseline evaluation. Approval is required before code changes. CX Codex +1 105,800installs ponytail-audit DietrichGebert skill It audits a repository and ranks bugs, risks, and redundant code in a one-shot report. Use it when you need a review without code changes. CX Codex +1 45,400installs investigate-first JuliusBrussee skill The skill keeps the agent in diagnosis mode: gather evidence, rank hypotheses, name the cause. Only then does it touch code. CX Codex +1 105,400installs surgical-patch JuliusBrussee skill The skill constrains AI coding agents to the narrowest layer responsible for a bug. It prevents unwanted refactoring and demands focused regression checks. CX Codex +1 104,800installs lean-build JuliusBrussee skill Prevents overbuilding when adding new features or integrations. It sets strict acceptance bounds, cuts speculative abstractions, and stops immediately once proof passes. CX Codex +1 104,500installs caveman-evidence-review JuliusBrussee skill A read-only skill reviews Caveman Cloud evidence on LLM spend, traces, and routing. Use it to see where a project’s model budget goes. CX Codex +1 104,500installs ponytail-debt DietrichGebert skill Turns every deliberate ponytail shortcut into one debt ledger: file, line, the ceiling the comment names, and the trigger for revisiting it. CX Codex +1 42,900installs ponytail-gain DietrichGebert skill Displays measured benchmark savings across code volume, token spend, and execution time for Ponytail. Useful when evaluating the toolset. CX Codex +1 40,900installs migrate-radix-to-base shadcn-ui skill Migrates React components and full projects from Radix UI to Base UI (@base-ui/react). Useful when switching the underlying primitives in shadcn/ui projects. CX Codex +1 30,400installs security-audit cloudflare skill Reviews codebases and APIs for vulnerabilities using safe sandboxing. Fits pre-release security reviews, pen-test triage, and architecture checks. CX Codex +1 54,800installs write-swift emilkowalski skill This skill guides Swift coding, reviews, and migrations using the language’s current practices. Use it to investigate concurrency errors, hangs, data races, or retain cycles. CX Codex +1 119,300installs code-review-and-quality addyosmani skill Five review axes and a limit on diff size, so an agent checks a change before merge instead of after. CX Codex +1 73,200installs
