SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Refactoring is risky without proper tracking of imports and a structured workflow. This skill enforces import tracking and a disciplined four-phase process to prevent cascading build failures during code restructuring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces mapping of dependencies before moving files.
  • Provides a repeatable 4-phase workflow (discover, plan, execute, verify) to guide safe refactors.
  • Prevents common anti-patterns by documenting, planning, and validating changes to maintain build stability.

Quick Start

Begin the refactor by mapping dependencies, design the migration plan, execute changes one file at a time, and verify the build after each move.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely refactor code and move files without breaking imports?▼

Safe code refactoring requires mapping dependencies and updating imports before executing file moves. A structured discover, plan, execute, and verify workflow prevents cascading build failures during structural reorganization.

What is the best way to plan a code migration across a large project?▼

Planning a code migration involves a phased execution approach. You must first discover existing dependencies, design an atomic migration plan, execute file moves individually, and verify build stability after each change.

Why does my build fail after renaming or moving files during a refactor?▼

Builds fail during refactoring when imports are not tracked and updated alongside file moves. Without disciplined import tracking and post-move verification, structural changes cause cascading build failures across language ecosystems.

Can I use this refactoring workflow for projects across different programming languages?▼

Yes, this refactoring workflow applies to projects across various language ecosystems. It enforces import tracking and build verification regardless of the specific language, ensuring structural reorganizations maintain build stability.

Do I need to install any dependencies to track imports during a structural reorganization?▼

No dependencies are required. The refactoring process enforces import tracking and a four-phase workflow natively, allowing you to map dependencies and execute atomic moves without external tool installations.
