hatch3r-refactor

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams improve internal code structure while guaranteeing the externally observable behavior stays the same, even across multiple modules and risk areas.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Behavioral-preserving refactor workflow: defines invariants, plan, implementation steps, and verification gates to prevent accidental changes.
• Test-first verification: requires existing tests to pass and adds targeted regression tests for at-risk behavior.
• Guardrails for refactor risk: detects ambiguity up front, preserves error handling and error propagation paths, and prevents new dependencies or silent scope creep.
• Orchestrated delegation: uses required researcher and reviewer agent roles to gather strategy and validate behavioral preservation.

Quick Start

Use the hatch3r-refactor skill to refactor the target codebase area while preserving public APIs and making sure all tests pass.
