SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automated, scope-locked code refactoring that preserves external behavior, minimizing risk and manual review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope-locked refactoring to exactly what the user specifies (files, functions, classes, modules).
  • Preserves external behavior while improving structure, readability, or performance.
  • Regression test scaffolding and guidance for when tests exist or not.

Quick Start

Provide the exact target scope (files, functions, classes, or modules) and invoke the refactor tool to apply changes strictly within that boundary.

Frequently Asked Questions about devflow-refactor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor code safely without changing behavior in a multi-file codebase?▼

Scope-locked code refactoring restricts changes to explicitly defined boundaries like files, functions, or modules, preserving external behavior and minimizing blast radius while enforcing SOLID principles and regression testing.

What is the best way to rename APIs and extract functions without breaking existing architecture?▼

Automated, scope-controlled refactoring applies SOLID principles and clean architecture standards to operations like extracting functions and renaming APIs, ensuring structural improvements do not alter external behavior.

Can I restructure modules if my project does not have existing regression tests?▼

Yes, you can restructure modules without existing regression tests because the refactoring process provides a regression-test scaffold to verify that external behavior remains unchanged during the restructure.

Does scope-locked refactoring support clean architecture and SOLID principles enforcement?▼

Scope-locked refactoring supports clean architecture and SOLID principles by strictly enforcing these standards within the specified target scope, ensuring structural improvements remain isolated and safe.

How do I minimize the blast radius when restructuring code across multiple files?▼

Minimizing blast radius during multi-file restructuring requires specifying the exact target scope such as specific files, functions, classes, or modules, which locks the automated refactoring boundaries.

Why does automated refactoring require specifying exact target scope boundaries?▼

Automated refactoring requires exact target scope boundaries to lock the changes strictly to the specified files or modules, preventing unintended modifications and minimizing manual review overhead.
