System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Provides constraints and guardrails to perform safe, incremental refactoring of code during development sessions. It helps users clean up code, remove duplication, extract concepts, or improve structure without altering behavior, and generates a constraint block for the card's Context section in Claude Code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constraint block ready for Claude Code planning sessions, including explicit safety rules and a checklist.
  • The flocking rules guide the identification and elimination of duplication with the simplest change.
  • Common safe moves outline safe, one-step edits (rename, extract, inline, move, replace constants) to keep behavior intact.
  • Signals for violations help prevent multiple structural changes or unintended behavior changes in a single task.

Quick Start

Paste the constraint block into the card's Context before starting the Claude Code session to guide planning.
