Refactoring Hotspots
SkillDev toolsIdentify high-priority refactoring targets using hotspot scoring. Ranks modules by issue severity and coupling count.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.
Then ask your AI: use the Refactoring Hotspots skill
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by nwiizo/cargo-coupling in .claude/skills/hotspots/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Run the built-in ranking for the requested path (default ./src). Use the
requested limit; the CLI default is five:
rtk proxy cargo run -- coupling --hotspots ./src
rtk proxy cargo run -- coupling --hotspots=10 --verbose ./src
Use the returned scores and issue lists. If the scoring needs explanation, inspect hotspots.rs; do not maintain a separate formula or recompute scores from AI prose output.
Check the leading candidates in source and explain their likely change impact, business volatility, and a concrete next action. A high score or cycle is a signal to investigate, not automatic justification for an abstraction. Distinguish the CLI ranking from any adjusted recommendation and give the reason for it. Report scope and missing evidence; apply refactors when also requested.
