dsh-refactoring-guide

A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin that provides the refactoring-guide skill for safe, incremental, behavior-preserving refactorings.

What it does

This plugin bundles the refactoring-guide skill, which applies safe, incremental, behavior-preserving refactorings using a test-protected, small-step workflow. The skill includes guidance for:

  • Extract function/variable
  • Rename
  • Inline
  • Decompose conditionals
  • Remove duplication
  • Replace conditional with polymorphism
  • Introduce parameter object

The skill is automatically available in DSH sessions when this plugin is installed.

Installation

Installing from a local directory (recommended for development)

  1. Navigate to the plugin directory:

    cd E:\DeepSeek_Harness\plugins\dsh-refactoring-guide

  2. Install into a DSH profile:

    dsh plugin --profile web add .

    Or from an absolute path:

    dsh plugin --profile web add E:\DeepSeek_Harness\plugins\dsh-refactoring-guide

Installing from a published package (when available)

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-refactoring-guide

Installing from a Git repository (when published)

 dsh plugin --profile web add github:owner/dsh-refactoring-guide

Usage

No manual configuration is needed after installation. When the model encounters a refactoring-related trigger scenario during a session, it loads the matching skill automatically. You can also specify directly in conversation:

First give me an implementation plan for this refactor.

Or:

Refactor this function to improve readability.

How it works

The plugin registers a skill provider on ctx.skills that reads the bundled skills/refactoring-guide/SKILL.md file. The DSH skill system discovers the skill and makes it available to the model via the skill tool.
