Install

npx skills add JuliusBrussee/caveman@safe-refactor

Runs in your terminal. Adds the skill globally for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others; add -g -y to skip prompts.

What it does

Safe refactor Define behavior-preservation boundary and establish verification before structural edits. - Keep feature changes outside refactor. - Move one ownership boundary at a time. - Preserve public interfaces, failure behavior, ordering, and compatibility unless explicitly scoped. - Keep intermediate states buildable and testable. - Avoid dependency or configuration growth without correctness need. Run same proof after change. Stop when behavior matches and requested structure is achieved.
