skill
review-and-refactor
Review and refactor code in your project according to defined instructions
Set up
Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.
The download comes from github.com/github/awesome-copilot itself, not from our server, so what you get is exactly what its author published. The ZIP holds the whole collection; take the folder skills/review-and-refactor out of it for review-and-refactor.
Part of the collection github/awesome-copilot.
npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill review-and-refactor
Or by hand: Copy the folder skills/review-and-refactor from github.com/github/awesome-copilot into ~/.claude/skills/review-and-refactor/ (Claude Code) or your agent's skills folder. Check the collection's own README for other agents.
