What problem does it solve?
Refactoring is often necessary to improve code organization and readability without changing how the software behaves from the user's perspective. This skill guides teams through planning, scope definition, safety nets, and a phased execution to preserve functionality while improving structure.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Systematic scope definition and behavior invariants to prevent regressions during refactor.
- Phase-guided execution with explicit checks: safety nets, tests, lint, and builds.
- Reversible transformations and documentation of changes to maintain traceability.
Quick Start
Define a scoped refactor task, outline invariants, and execute changes incrementally while verifying behavior with tests.
