prompt-refactor

Prompt Refactor Compatibility Skill

Goal

Preserve legacy prompt-refactor activation while simplifying approved prompt-engineering artifacts through the hve-builder refactor route and its independent quality gates.

Flow

1. Translate promptFiles to existing targets and resolve the behavior that must remain unchanged.
2. When requirements are omitted, use the HVE Builder baseline review to derive evidence-backed cleanup objectives.
3. Activate hve-builder with mode=refactor, the approved write boundary, requirements, and any caller-owned evidence root.
4. Return the HVE Builder static verdict, behavior-test fidelity and verdict, validation result, and overall outcome.

Inputs

• promptFiles: existing prompt-engineering artifacts to refactor
• requirements: optional cleanup objectives, constraints, and preserved behavior
• evidenceRoot: optional caller-owned HVE Builder evidence path

Success Criteria

• The approved targets are simpler without unintended behavior change.
• Static review, behavior testing, and host validation pass.
• Source changes stay inside the approved write boundary.
• The returned overall outcome is unchanged from hve-builder.

Constraints

• Do not dispatch legacy Prompt Tester, Prompt Evaluator, or Prompt Updater workers.
• Do not create a second orchestration loop or sandbox contract.
• Route a requested type change, artifact split, or new support artifact back through HVE Builder scope approval.

Stop Rules

• Stop Pass only when the HVE Builder refactor route passes every required gate.
• Preserve Revise, Deferred, or Blocked and its rerun condition.
• Ask when preserved behavior or write scope cannot be inferred safely.

Handoff

Use prompt-analyze for read-only follow-up review and prompt-builder when the requested work intentionally changes behavior or creates artifacts.

Final Response Contract

Return targets, changed files, refactor rationale, static verdict, behavior-test fidelity and verdict, validation result, overall outcome, evidence links, and next action.
