SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan-aware planning for refactors helps teams reduce risk by mapping dependencies, sequencing changes, and embedding rollback steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-aware planning: identify affected files and their relationships before changes.
  • Phase-based execution: organize refactors into types/interfaces, implementations, tests, and cleanup.
  • Rollback-ready: include rollback steps and verification points to recover from failures.

Quick Start

Begin Phase 1 to outline the initial refactor plan and capture dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a multi-file codebase refactor safely?▼

To plan a multi-file codebase refactor safely, you map affected files and their dependencies, sequence changes into phases, and embed explicit rollback steps and verification points to recover from failures.

What is dependency-aware planning for code refactoring?▼

Dependency-aware planning for code refactoring identifies affected files and their relationships before changes begin, ensuring structured execution plans track dependencies across types, implementations, and tests.

How do I sequence types, implementations, and tests during a refactor?▼

Sequence types, implementations, and tests during a refactor by organizing execution into phase-based tasks: start with types and interfaces, move to implementations, update tests, and finish with cleanup.

Can I include rollback steps and verification points in a refactor plan?▼

Yes, you can include rollback steps and verification points in a refactor plan. The plan embeds rollback-ready recovery actions and explicit verification checkpoints after each phase to ensure safe execution.

Does this refactor planning approach work for large codebases?▼

Yes, this refactor planning approach works for large codebases. It applies dependency tracking and phase-based execution to codebases of varying sizes where changes span multiple files, types, and tests.

What are the limitations of phase-based refactor planning?▼

Phase-based refactor planning requires accurate dependency mapping before execution begins; if underlying codebase dependencies are hidden or untracked, the generated phases, rollback steps, and verification points may be incomplete.
