What problem does it solve?

This collection teaches proven refactoring techniques for moving responsibilities between objects to improve cohesion and reduce coupling.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Move Method: relocate behavior to the class that uses its data most.
• Move Field: relocate a field to the owning class to reduce cross-class dependencies.
• Extract Class: split responsibilities into a new class for maintainability.
• Inline Class: collapse a tiny helper class into its usage site.
• Hide Delegate: expose a cleaner API by hiding delegation chains.
• Remove Middle Man: let client code access delegates directly when appropriate.
• Introduce Foreign Method: add a utility method for unmodifiable or external classes.
• Introduce Local Extension: extend an unmodifiable class with a local wrapper or subclass.

Quick Start

Identify a candidate method or field that frequently uses data from another class and move it to the owning class to improve cohesion.
