SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates guided semantic refactoring of C# code by translating user intent into Roslyn-based transformations, enabling safer and faster code changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interpret natural-language refactor requests and map them to precise Roslyn actions (rename, extract interface/type, move type, split class, bulk replacements).
  • Provide previews of changes and validate compilation before applying to ensure code health.
  • Manage scope and risk with warnings when refactors touch many files, and offer safe, incremental edits across projects.

Quick Start

Describe your refactoring goal in natural language and load a solution to begin the guided refactor.

Frequently Asked Questions about refactor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely rename and move C# types across projects in a solution?▼

Safe C# refactoring uses Roslyn-based transformations to rename and move types across projects while enforcing safety rules. It previews changes and validates compilation afterward to prevent breaking updates.

Can I extract interfaces from existing C# classes using natural language?▼

Yes, you can extract interfaces from C# classes using natural language by mapping your intent to precise Roslyn actions. The process provides a preview and validates compilation before applying the interface extraction.

Does Roslyn support bulk code replacements across an entire workspace?▼

Roslyn supports bulk replacements across a loaded workspace by translating user intent into semantic transformations. It manages scope by warning about wide-impact changes and prompting for confirmation before applying edits.

What is the best way to preview refactoring changes before applying them?▼

The best way to preview refactoring changes is using a guided Roslyn-based process that generates transformations and displays them before execution. This allows you to validate compilation and confirm wide-impact edits safely.

How do I handle wide-impact refactors that touch many files?▼

To handle wide-impact refactors touching many files, the guided refactoring process manages scope and risk by issuing warnings. It offers safe, incremental edits across projects and prompts for confirmation before applying changes.
