Add the refactor-plan skill, which was missing from the archive, with agent-agnostic frontmatter. Remove the tool settings from pyproject.toml, since the tutorial has readers add them in the setup step. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Reword the refactoring rules in AGENTS.md to match the tutorial - Have the refactor-plan skill add one row per file for repeated smells - Add ai-refactor-python-final.zip with the refactoring plan, the CLI characterization tests, and the code after every refactoring - Mention the final archive in the README Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The two previous commits shipped the refactored rptodo/ package in the starter archive by mistake. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The IntEnum adds more machinery than the unnamed error codes justify, so the plan no longer includes it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Drop the error masking smell from the refactor-plan skill catalog - Note that some refactoring names are additions to Fowler's catalog - Add the init database-wipe bug to REFACTOR.md in the final project Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Let the agent move tests along with code it moves to another module - Move test_get_database_path to test_config.py and drop the re-export - Pin ID 0 behavior in test_set_done and test_remove - Update REFACTOR.md notes 8, 9, and 13 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update the note in the REFACTOR-template.md asset (starter and final) and in the final project's REFACTOR.md to use the tutorial's wording. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
