Improves code maintainability and readability by identifying and removing code smells, simplifying complex logic, and organizing responsibilities without altering external behavior.
Use the refactor skill to incrementally simplify and remove duplication in the file src/utils/parser.ts while preserving behavior and running tests after each significant change.

To refactor code safely, read all implicated source files first, identify code smells like duplication or long functions, make small reversible changes, and run tests after each significant edit to verify the external behavior is preserved.
You should extract functions to remove duplicate code only when real duplication occurs three or more times across modules, ensuring the refactoring genuinely reduces redundancy rather than fragmenting logic unnecessarily.
Simplify complex conditionals during a code review by applying incremental refactors that break down intricate logic into clearer, smaller expressions, renaming variables for clarity, and executing tests to confirm behavior remains unchanged.
Yes, you can reorganize responsibilities between services by moving misplaced logic to appropriate modules through small, reversible changes, then executing your test suite after each significant refactor to ensure no runtime behavior breaks.
The best way to clean up a complex UI component is to simplify its internal logic and remove dead code incrementally, verifying after each change that all tests pass and the component's external output remains identical.
Refactoring requires reading all implicated source files before making edits to fully understand existing dependencies, identify subtle code smells, and ensure incremental changes do not introduce regressions or alter external behavior.
