What problem does it solve?

Refactoring is a disciplined activity that helps improve structure without changing observed behavior; this Skill provides a framework to plan, sequence, and assess risks for safe refactoring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe refactoring protocol: Follow rules, checklists, and gates to ensure changes are small, verifiable, and reversible.
  • Decision guidance: Decide between refactor, rewrite, or fix-first when behavior must be preserved across codebases.
  • Risk assessment & traceability: Document steps, risks, and verification results to reduce regression risk.

Quick Start

Review the STOP - Refactoring Rules and Core Patterns, then outline a small incremental plan: save state in version control, identify target modules, list steps, and run tests after each change.
