This Skill eliminates the guesswork and regression risk of refactoring complex, hard-to-maintain code by providing step-by-step, behaviour-preserving refactoring plans with measurable complexity reduction targets.
Use the complexity-reducer skill to generate a refactoring plan for the complex validate_order function in src/orders/validator.py, including quantified complexity metrics and codemod recipes for repeated type-checking conditionals.

Behaviour-preserving refactoring requires step-by-step plans that quantify cyclomatic and cognitive complexity reduction before and after each step. This approach eliminates regression risk by calculating exact metrics for complex, hard-to-maintain code.
To reduce cyclomatic complexity in legacy Python code, apply AST-based codemod recipes and guard clause extractions. This provides measurable complexity reduction targets while following Fowler's refactoring best practices for maintainable code.
Yes, behaviour-preserving refactoring enforces an 80% test coverage prerequisite before recommending any code changes. This safety guardrail validates refactoring steps and grades finding severity based on impact to current development workflows.
Yes, you can generate AST-based codemod recipes for cross-file changes in Java and C#. The multi-language pattern catalog provides before/after examples and codemod recipes for 7 supported languages including C#, Java, Python, C, C++, TypeScript, and SQL.
You can quantify technical debt reduction by calculating exact cyclomatic and cognitive complexity before and after refactoring nested conditional functions. This yields measurable complexity reduction percentages, effort estimates, and risk ratings for each step.
