What problem does it solve?
Modifying existing code without degrading the design is challenging; this Skill guides engineers to resist quick fixes, maintain clean architecture, and prevent debt from creeping into legacy code.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Provides a disciplined modification workflow (RESIST -> ASK -> REFRACTOR -> COMMIT) to ensure changes improve rather than degrade design
- Emphasizes investment mindset (10-20%) for design improvements and documentation updates
- Helps teams identify and counter common rationalizations that degrade software quality across bugs, features, and refactors
Quick Start
Review a legacy module and apply the strategic modification workflow to produce a clean refactor plan.
