code-refinement

Analyze and improve living code quality: duplication, algorithmic efficiency, clean code principles, architectural fit, anti-slop patterns, and error handling robustness. Use when improving code quality, reducing AI slop, refactoring for clarity, optimizing algorithms, applying clean code principles. Do not use when removing dead/unused code (use conserve:bloat-detector). reviewing for bugs (use pensive:bug-review). selecting architecture paradigms (use archetypes skills). This skill actively improves living code, complementing bloat detection (dead code removal) with quality refinement (living code improvement).
