To standardize OCaml coding style for safer refactoring, you should enforce interface-first design, create explicit module boundaries with .mli files, and mandate pure functions with Option and Result combinators for safe error handling.

Interface-first design in OCaml involves creating clean .mli boundary files before implementation. It improves module hygiene by promoting modularity, ensuring explicit types, and simplifying the evolution of small, cohesive modules.

To refactor OCaml code to use Option and Result combinators, apply monadic syntax and pattern matching to reduce complexity. This approach improves robustness by replacing exceptions with safe, explicit error handling patterns.

Functional programming refactoring in OCaml does require explicit types and pure functions. Defining clear module boundaries and avoiding side effects ensures maintainability and type-safety across the codebase during feature refactors.

You should apply naming conventions and modular boundaries during OCaml code reviews whenever consistency across projects and teams is needed. This ensures readability, maintainability, and safe onboarding for new contributors.
