jade-recipe-1.7-strings-in-switch

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates a targeted Java refactor by replacing repetitive string-comparison conditional chains with cleaner switch statements, making legacy migration rules easier to apply and review.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Sequential chain conversion: Transforms if (v.equals("A")) return ...; if (v.equals("B")) return ...; patterns into a switch (v) structure.
• If / else-if / else conversion: Rewrites convertible multi-branch decision trees into a switch with a default branch when appropriate.
• Safe fallback behavior: Defers ambiguous or single-branch cases by marking them for manual review instead of forcing an unsafe rewrite.
• Use Case: A migration pass flags string-based conditionals across a Java codebase, and this Skill converts the eligible chains while preserving the rest for later inspection.

Quick Start

Use the jade-recipe-1.7-strings-in-switch skill to rewrite the flagged Java file at the specified line into a switch statement or defer it when conversion is not safe.
