This Skill restructures code without changing its behavior, reducing the risk of breaking functionality during large or complex refactors.
Ask your agent to run refactor with the goal "separate the business logic from the HTTP handlers and keep behavior identical" so it creates a safe worktree, verifies env files, establishes a passing test baseline, and performs test-checked atomic changes.

Test-gated refactoring works by running make test before and after each atomic code change. If a test fails, the workflow automatically reverts only the failed files to quickly recover, ensuring the codebase maintains a passing test baseline throughout the incremental transformation.
Setting up a git worktree for isolated refactoring requires branching from the latest main. You must exactly copy and verify .env* files and optional local settings into the worktree, validating they match the source repo to preserve the environment configuration before starting transformations.
Refactoring at scale is managed through incremental single-change commits and optional Codex delegation for large scopes. The workflow isolates transformations in a dedicated git worktree branch, running per-step regression testing and opening the final PR via /agent-dashboard:pr to handle cleanup, formatting, and push.
The best way to structure commits during a complex refactor is using conventional commits for incremental single-change transformations. Each atomic change is committed independently after passing test gating, creating a clear history that isolates failures and simplifies reverting specific files if needed.
