clean-code-refactor

What problem does it solve?

Clear code debt and tangled logic slow teams; this skill establishes a repeatable, test-backed pathway to detect smells, measure complexity, and execute safe refactors.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Characterization testing when behavior is not fully known.
• Smell catalog aligned to language stacks (Python, JS/TS, Go) with thresholds for cyclomatic and cognitive complexity.
• Stepwise refactor plan with small commits, audits, and reviewer checks.
• Risk-managed pattern application (Fowler patterns) to improve structure without changing external behavior.

Quick Start

Start by identifying the top two code smells in a module, write a characterization test if none exists, and outline a five-step, commit-scoped refactor plan.
