SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematically applies code improvements based on analysis, ensuring changes preserve functionality while improving readability, maintainability, and performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

Incremental Refactoring: Applies improvements one focused change at a time with immediate verification.
Preserves Behavior: Changes are designed to keep external behavior unchanged.
Common Refactoring Patterns: Extract methods, replace magic numbers with constants, rename identifiers, and reduce nesting.
Test-driven Validation: Verifies changes with existing tests after each step.

Quick Start

Ensure an implementation_plan.md exists (produced by code-analysis or critic), then run refactor-code to apply the planned improvements. You can opt to refactor incrementally and verify after each change.
