SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Refactor Kotlin code toward clearer, more idiomatic design without breaking Spring behavior, serialization, persistence, or public contracts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incremental, safety-first refactors that preserve proxies, Jackson, JPA, and configuration binding.
  • Guidelines for identifying whether code is DTO, domain model, or configuration, and the minimal changes required.
  • Use cases include simplifying boilerplate in Spring-based Kotlin services without altering external interfaces.

Quick Start

Describe the Kotlin module to refactor and request a safe, idiomatic Spring-aware rewrite with minimal surface-area changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor Kotlin Spring code without breaking proxies and serialization?

Refactor Kotlin Spring code safely by applying small, incremental changes that respect framework constraints, preserving proxies, serialization, and persistence behavior while maintaining binary compatibility and public contracts.

What is the best way to simplify Kotlin boilerplate in Spring services?

Simplify Kotlin boilerplate in Spring services through idiomatic refactors that identify whether code is DTO, domain model, or configuration, applying minimal surface-area changes that do not alter external interfaces.

Can I use idiomatic Kotlin refactoring on JPA entities and configuration binding?

Yes, you can refactor JPA entities and configuration binding by following guidelines that distinguish model types and ensure changes remain binary-compatible, preserving persistence behavior and configuration properties.

Does refactoring Kotlin code toward idiomatic design alter public contracts in Spring?

No, refactoring Kotlin toward idiomatic design does not alter public contracts; changes are applied incrementally in the correct order to ensure binary compatibility and unchanged external interfaces across modules.

How do I verify Spring behavior is preserved after a Kotlin refactor?

Verify Spring behavior is preserved after a Kotlin refactor by following concrete test or verification steps provided for each change, ensuring build and test boundaries are respected across all affected modules.

When should I not use idiomatic Kotlin refactoring in a Spring application?

Avoid idiomatic Kotlin refactoring when changes would alter public contracts, break binary compatibility, or violate framework constraints related to proxies, Jackson serialization, and JPA persistence behavior.
