clj-refactor

What problem does it solve?

clj-refactor helps you identify where Clojure code mixes reusable, stable logic with business-specific decisions, so your system stays easier to test, reuse, and evolve.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mixed code detection: Flags functions/modules where mechanism and policy are tangled and explains where the boundary should be drawn.
• Extraction candidates: Recommends specific pieces of logic to move into separate, context-free modules suitable for reuse and isolation.
• Misplaced policy discovery: Spots business assumptions that have leaked into lower-level infrastructure and specifies where they belong.
• Concrete refactoring proposals: Suggests before/after structural changes while preserving existing behavior and avoiding premature abstraction.

Quick Start

Use clj-refactor to scan a Clojure directory for mechanism/policy tangling and propose structural extractions that preserve behavior.
