plan-refactoring

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns ambiguous refactor requests and sprawling project state into a clear, actionable, phased refactoring plan so teams can reduce risk, estimate effort, and perform verifiable changes with rollbacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Scope & Requirements Clarification: Extracts scope, goals, constraints, and priorities from user input or repository context and surfaces necessary assumptions.
• Minimal-necessary Project Assessment: Lists relevant dependencies, entry/exit points, and existing implementations focused only on the refactor target to avoid expensive full-repo scans.
• Phased, Verifiable Plan Output: Produces phase-by-phase tasks that are single-commit/one-session actionable, includes validation steps, rollback strategies, and acceptance criteria; supports Blueprint→AngelScript migrations and subsystem replacements.
• Tooling & Integration Guidance: Advises when to use soft-ue-cli, Angelscript workflows, Git/P4 practices, and test-driven iteration to validate changes.
• Use Case: Converting a Weapon subsystem from Blueprint to AngelScript while preserving editor-facing interfaces and adding smoke tests.

Quick Start

Create a phased refactoring plan for the "Weapons" subsystem that lists dependencies, phase breakdowns, step-by-step actions, validation checks, and a rollback strategy.
