Skills in this pack
Refactor Planner
Plan a refactor as a sequence of small, test-anchored steps. Trigger on 'refactor plan', 'how should I refactor', 'break this up', 'restructure this', or when the user wants to change code structure without behaviour changes.
Dead Code Remover
Identify and remove dead code safely. Trigger on 'dead code', 'unused code', 'remove unused', 'tree-shake', 'prune', or when the user wants to reduce codebase surface.
God-Class Decomposer
Break apart a large class or module into cohesive units. Trigger on 'god class', 'break this up', 'too big', 'split this module', 'god function', or when the user has a huge class/file they want to decompose.

FAQ
What is a Claude skill?
A Claude skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. It tells Claude when to trigger the skill and how to execute the task. Skills live inside your Claude account once uploaded.
Do these work on Free, Pro and Max plans?
Yes, as long as code execution is enabled. On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin needs to enable skills at the organisation level first.
Can I edit the skills?
Yes — the skills are plain markdown files. Open SKILL.md in any editor and change the description, steps, templates, or output format to match how you work.
Do I need all the skills in the pack?
No. Upload only the ones you'll use. Too many active skills makes Claude less precise about which one to pick.
