SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you make existing code changes safely by keeping refactors small, reviewable, and resistant to regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scope control: Limits changes to only the files and logic needed for the refactor.
  • Migration safety: Prevents competing implementations and supports phased adoption or clean removal of old paths.
  • Compatibility and testing: Preserves public contracts where possible and requires targeted tests, observability, and rollback-aware planning.
  • Use Case: Ideal for cleaning up a Kotlin Multiplatform app, moving logic into safer abstractions, or hardening a fragile flow without disrupting existing behavior.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to refactor the existing codebase safely while preserving behavior, minimizing scope, and adding regression tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor Kotlin Multiplatform code without breaking existing behavior?▼

Phased migration in Kotlin Multiplatform involves incrementally adopting new abstractions while keeping old paths available. This method prevents competing implementations and allows clean removal of deprecated logic only after the new path is fully validated.

Can I migrate logic into safer abstractions while preserving public contracts?▼

You can migrate logic into safer abstractions while preserving public contracts by enforcing scope control and rollback-aware planning. This approach hardens fragile flows without disrupting the existing behavior of your production systems.

What's the best way to clean up a Kotlin Multiplatform app architecture safely?▼

When refactoring Kotlin Multiplatform projects, you need targeted regression tests and observability to validate behavior. These constraints ensure the refactor remains reviewable, idempotent, and rollback-aware during architectural cleanup.

Why does refactoring production code cause regressions and how do I prevent it?▼

Refactoring production code causes regressions when scope expands beyond the intended logic. Prevent this by enforcing scope control, preserving compatibility, and requiring targeted regression tests to keep changes small and reviewable.
