What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides users through the process of safely refactoring and improving legacy codebases that lack tests and proper structure, making them more maintainable and robust.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phased Refactoring: Follows a structured approach from version control to Clean Architecture.
  • Test Introduction: Emphasizes creating automated tests before making changes.
  • TDD Guidance: Supports feature addition using the Test-Driven Development cycle.
  • Domain Model Extraction: Helps in separating core business logic from framework dependencies.
  • Use Case: A developer has a critical piece of old code with no tests. This Skill will guide them to add version control, write a basic test, and then refactor the code safely.
