See one task, with and without the skill

One test taskReview this 25-line TypeScript order processor function with nested conditionals and duplicate tax logic. Give me an overall summary of what it does and rewrite it completely with new features. DISCLOSURE: Evaluate the structural quality of this code on a 0-10 scale and list the specific step-by-step refactorings needed to improve it without changing behavior.

Without the skillMissed

With the skillPassed

Same model, same task. Answers are capped and redacted.

Use this skill

Your agent runs on

Adds every file the skill has, pinned so you can update it. No account needed.

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add kunanonj-refactoring-patterns
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script.

Install

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"

Add the skill

from decimalai import skillpkg

# Writes .agents/skills and .decimal/skills.toml. Safe to run twice.
result = skillpkg.add("kunanonj-refactoring-patterns")
if result.exit_code:
    raise SystemExit(result.problems)

print("Added. Start Claude Code with the command below.")

Start Claude Code with it

claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install kunanonj-refactoring-patterns

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

No Python or account. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/kunanonj-refactoring-patterns/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/kunanonj-refactoring-patterns/SKILL.md

Copy SKILL.md

Save it in your project, as

.claude/skills/kunanonj-refactoring-patterns/SKILL.md

This gets SKILL.md only. The skill's 6 other files are not included.

Refactoring Patterns Framework

A disciplined approach to improving the internal structure of existing code without changing its observable behavior. Every refactoring follows the same loop: verify tests pass, apply one small structural change, verify tests still pass.

Core Principle

Refactoring is not rewriting. It is a sequence of small, behavior-preserving transformations, each backed by tests. You never change what the code does — only how it is organized. Big-bang rewrites fail because they combine structural change with behavioral change, making it impossible to know which broke things.

The foundation: Bad code is a natural consequence of delivering under time pressure, not a character flaw. Code smells are objective signals of degraded structure; the smell catalog tells you where to look, and the refactoring catalog tells you what to do.

Scoring

Goal: 10/10. When reviewing or refactoring code, rate structural quality 0-10: a 10/10 means no obvious smells remain, each function does one thing, names reveal intent, duplication is eliminated, and tests cover the refactored paths. Always give the current score and the specific refactorings needed to reach 10/10.

The Refactoring Patterns Framework

Six areas of focus for systematically improving code structure:

1. Code Smells as Triggers

Core concept: Code smells are surface indicators of deeper structural problems — not bugs, but signals that the design makes code harder to understand, extend, or maintain. Each smell maps to named refactorings that fix it.

Why it works: Named smells give teams objective criteria instead of subjective "I don't like this" — "This is Feature Envy" points directly at the fix.

Key insights:

Smells cluster into five families: Bloaters, Object-Orientation Abusers, Change Preventers, Dispensables, Couplers
Long Method is the most common smell; Duplicate Code is the most expensive
A method that needs a comment to explain what it does is a smell — extract and name the block instead
Shotgun Surgery (one change, many classes) and Divergent Change (one class, many reasons to change) are opposite signals of misplaced responsibilities
Primitive Obsession — raw strings/ints instead of small domain objects — spreads errors and duplication

Code applications:

Context	Pattern	Example
Method > 10 lines	Extract Method	Pull loop body into `calculateLineTotal()`
Switch on type code	Replace Conditional with Polymorphism	Subclass per order type
Same params in many methods	Introduce Parameter Object	`startDate, endDate` → `DateRange`
Copy-pasted logic	Extract Method + Pull Up Method	Share via common method or base class

See: references/smell-catalog.md when you need the full smell-to-refactoring mapping.

2. Composing Methods

Core concept: Most refactoring starts here: break long methods into smaller, well-named pieces that read like prose — high-level steps delegating to clearly named helpers.

Why it works: Short methods with intention-revealing names eliminate comments, make bugs obvious at a glance, and enable reuse; a method call costs nothing to read when the name says everything.

Key insights:

Extract Method is the single most important refactoring — master it first
Urge to write a comment? Extract the block and use the comment as the method name
Inline Method when the body is as clear as the name — indirection without value is noise
Replace Temp with Query for computed values used in multiple places; Split Temporary Variable when one temp serves two purposes
Replace Method with Method Object when locals are too tangled to extract — they become fields

Code applications:

Context	Pattern	Example
Block with a comment	Extract Method	`// check eligibility` → `isEligible()`
Temp used once	Inline Variable	Drop `const price = order.getPrice()`
Trivial delegating method	Inline Method	Inline `return deliveries > 5` if used once
Method with many tangled locals	Replace Method with Method Object	Locals become fields in a new class

See: references/composing-methods.md for mechanics and worked examples of each.

3. Moving Features Between Objects

Core concept: The key OO design decision is where responsibilities live. When Feature Envy, excessive coupling, or unbalanced class sizes show a method or field is in the wrong class, move it where it belongs.

Why it works: When a method lives with the data it uses, changes affect one class; misplaced methods create invisible dependencies that cause Shotgun Surgery.

Key insights:

Move Method when a method uses more of another class's features than its own; Move Field likewise
Extract Class when one class does two things — split along the axis of change; Inline Class when one does too little
Hide Delegate enforces the Law of Demeter; Remove Middle Man undoes it when forwarding becomes the whole class
Resolve that tension case by case: hide the delegate when the chain is unstable, remove the middle man when it's pure forwarding

Code applications:

Context	Pattern	Example
Method envies another class	Move Method	`calculateShipping()` from `Order` to `ShippingPolicy`
God class 500+ lines	Extract Class	Pull `Address` fields/methods into own class
Client calls `a.getB().getC()`	Hide Delegate	Add `a.getCThroughB()`
Class only forwards calls	Remove Middle Man	Let client call the delegate directly

See: references/moving-features.md when deciding where a responsibility belongs.

4. Organizing Data

Core concept: Raw data — magic numbers, exposed fields, integer type codes — creates subtle bugs and scatters domain knowledge. Replace primitives with objects that encapsulate behavior and enforce invariants.

Why it works: An int amount has no rounding rules or currency code; a Money object encapsulates all of it, so business rules live in one place and the type system catches errors at compile time.

Key insights:

Replace Magic Number with Symbolic Constant — the simplest data refactoring; it names intent
Replace Data Value with Object cures Primitive Obsession (EmailAddress, Money, Temperature)
Encapsulate Field and Encapsulate Collection — never expose raw fields or mutable internal lists
Replace Type Code with Subclasses when the code affects behavior; with Strategy when subclassing is impractical
Change Value to Reference when you need identity semantics (one shared Customer, not copies)

Code applications:

Context	Pattern	Example
`if (status == 2)`	Replace Magic Number	`if (status == ORDER_SHIPPED)`
`String email` passed everywhere	Replace Data Value with Object	`EmailAddress` class with validation
Getter returns mutable list	Encapsulate Collection	Return `Collections.unmodifiableList(items)`
`int typeCode` with switch	Replace Type Code with Subclasses	`Employee` → `Engineer`, `Manager`

See: references/organizing-data.md for the full data-refactoring catalog.

5. Simplifying Conditional Logic

Core concept: Deeply nested if/else trees, long switches, and scattered null checks are the hardest code to read and the most bug-prone. Named refactorings decompose, consolidate, and replace conditionals with clearer structures.

Why it works: A six-branch conditional forces readers to simulate every path mentally; well-named extracted branches are self-documenting, and polymorphism eliminates whole categories of "forgot this case" bugs.

Key insights:

Decompose Conditional: extract condition, then-branch, and else-branch into named methods
Consolidate Conditional Expression: merge conditions with the same result into one named check
Replace Nested Conditional with Guard Clauses: handle edge cases early and return, keeping the main path unindented
Replace Conditional with Polymorphism is the gold standard for type-based conditionals
Introduce Special Case (Null Object) eliminates scattered if (x == null) checks; Introduce Assertion makes assumptions fail fast

Code applications:

Context	Pattern	Example
Long `if` with complex condition	Decompose Conditional	Extract `isSummer(date)` and `summerCharge()`
Deeply nested `if/else`	Replace with Guard Clauses	Edge cases first, return early, flat main path
Switch on object type	Replace Conditional with Polymorphism	Each type implements its own `calculatePay()`
`if (customer == null)` everywhere	Introduce Special Case	`NullCustomer` with safe default behavior

See: references/simplifying-conditionals.md for before/after examples.

6. Safe Refactoring Workflow

Core concept: Refactoring is only safe when wrapped in tests. The workflow is mechanical: run tests (green), apply one small transformation, run tests (green), commit. If tests go red, revert — don't debug a broken refactoring.

Why it works: Small steps make the failure obvious (it was the last thing you did) and reverting costs seconds; debugging a failed big-bang rewrite costs days.

Key insights:

Rule of Three: tolerate duplication once, note it twice, refactor on the third occurrence
Preparatory refactoring: restructure to make the feature easy before adding it; comprehension and litter-pickup refactoring keep code improving as you read and touch it
When NOT to refactor: rewriting is easier, no tests and adding them isn't feasible, or the code will be deleted soon
Refactor for clarity first, then profile and optimize the measured bottleneck — clear code is easier to tune
Branch by Abstraction and Parallel Change enable large refactorings in production without long-lived branches

Code applications:

Context	Pattern	Example
About to add a feature	Preparatory Refactoring	Clean the insertion point first
Third copy of same logic	Rule of Three	Extract shared logic now
Large API change in production	Branch by Abstraction	Add abstraction layer, migrate callers, remove old path
Renaming a widely-used method	Parallel Change	Add new, deprecate old, migrate, remove

See: references/refactoring-workflow.md for the full cycle and when-to-refactor guidance.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Why It Fails	Fix
Refactoring without tests	No safety net to detect behavior change	Write characterization tests first
Big-bang rewrite	Mixes structural and behavioral change; undebuggable	Smallest possible steps, tests after each
Refactoring while adding features	Two hats at once — neither change verifiable	Refactor first (commit), then add feature (commit)
Renaming without updating callers	Broken build or dead code	Use IDE rename; search all references
Extracting too many tiny methods	Indirection without clarity when names are poor	Each name must remove the need to read the body
Ignoring the smell catalog	Reinvents fixes instead of applying proven recipes	Learn named smells; each maps to refactorings
Refactoring doomed code	Polish on condemned code is waste	Check the code's lifespan justifies the investment
Optimizing while refactoring	Conflates clarity with performance	Clarity first, then profile, then optimize hot path

Quick Diagnostic

Question	If No	Action
Do tests pass before you start?	No safety net	Write or fix tests first — never refactor red
Can you name the smell you're fixing?	Refactoring by instinct, not catalog	Identify the smell, apply its prescribed refactoring
Is each method under ~10 lines?	Long Methods likely	Extract Method into named steps
Does each class have one reason to change?	Divergent Change or Large Class	Extract Class to separate responsibilities
Are there duplicated code blocks?	The most expensive smell	Extract shared logic into common method/base class
Do conditionals use polymorphism where apt?	Switch Statements remain	Replace Conditional with Polymorphism
Are you committing after each step?	Risk losing work, mixing changes	Commit after every green-to-green transformation
Is the code easier to read after your change?	Refactoring added complexity	Revert and try a different approach
