What it does

Reviews code and performs refactoring according to predefined instructions and coding standards.

Overview

Review and Refactor is a skill that performs comprehensive code review and refactoring based on your project's defined coding guidelines and instructions. It acts as a senior software engineer, reading all coding standards from .github/instructions/*.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md, then systematically reviewing and cleaning up code to ensure it meets those standards.

Key Features

Standards-Driven Review - Reads and applies all coding guidelines defined in .github/instructions/*.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md to ensure consistent adherence
Clean Code Refactoring - Refactors code for maintainability and cleanliness while preserving existing file structure and not splitting up code unnecessarily
Test Preservation - Verifies that existing tests still pass after refactoring changes, ensuring no regressions are introduced
Non-Destructive Approach - Keeps existing files intact and focuses on improving code quality within the current project structure

Who is this for?

This skill is ideal for developers and teams who have established coding guidelines in their repository and want an automated way to enforce them consistently. It is particularly useful for maintaining code quality across large projects where manual code review may miss guideline violations.
