quality-refactoring-safe

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps engineering teams perform refactorings safely by ensuring external behavior remains unchanged while improving structure, guiding risk assessment, strategy selection, and requiring governance before making compatibility decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Risk-driven strategy selection among Inline, Strangler Fig, and Branch by Abstraction to minimize blast radius.
• Mandatory test coverage and regression guardrails before any behavioral changes are committed.
• Atomic commits and rigorous code review to ensure traceability, reversibility, and safety.
• Governance-policy compliance when public interfaces are affected, with debt tracking for resolved issues.

Quick Start

Describe the refactor scope and risk, choose a strategy (Inline, Strangler Fig, or Branch by Abstraction), and apply atomic commits with tests before changing behavior.
