What problem does it solve?

This Skill tackles the daunting task of refactoring and modernizing old, messy, or legacy codebases without introducing regressions or breaking existing functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-session Workflow: Manages complex refactoring over multiple interactions, including assessment, safety net creation, incremental changes, and progress tracking.
  • Automated Diagnostics: Uses autopsy to assess codebase health and identify modules needing refactoring.
  • Safety First: Implements characterization tests and rollback points via safeguard before any code changes.
  • Incremental Surgery: Refactors one module at a time using surgeon with predefined patterns like Strangler Fig or Branch by Abstraction.
  • Progress Tracking: Maintains state across sessions using journal and session-bridge.
