SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the complex process of refactoring code modules, ensuring that changes are planned, implemented, reviewed, and tested systematically, minimizing risks and maintaining code integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Refactoring Workflow: Manages the entire refactor lifecycle from initial analysis to final validation.
  • Agent Orchestration: Leverages specialized AI agents (Researcher, Architect, Executor, Reviewer, Tester) for distinct refactoring tasks.
  • Controlled Scope: Enforces stable public APIs and avoids unrelated edits, escalating scope changes for approval.
  • Use Case: Refactor a large, monolithic module into smaller, more manageable microservices by defining the target module and a clear objective.

Quick Start

Use the refactor skill to refactor the module located at interactive-terminal/src/cxxqt_bridge to split it into focused modules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate a module refactor to split a monolithic codebase?

To orchestrate a module refactor, this Skill manages the entire lifecycle from initial analysis to final validation using a multi-agent system. It systematically handles planning, implementation, review, and testing to minimize risks while maintaining code integrity.

What is the best way to ensure stable public APIs during code refactoring?

Ensuring stable public APIs during code refactoring requires controlled scope management. This Skill enforces API stability by avoiding unrelated edits and escalating scope changes for approval before proceeding with the implementation phase.

Can I use automated agents for code review and testing in my development workspace?

Yes, you can use automated agents for code review and testing within your development workspace. This Skill leverages specialized AI agents including a Researcher, Architect, Executor, Reviewer, and Tester to handle distinct refactoring tasks.

How does a multi-agent system validate module design changes?

A multi-agent system validates module design changes by validating outcomes against predefined build and test criteria. The Tester agent executes these checks during the final phase to ensure the refactored code functions correctly.

What are the limitations of automated refactoring workflows for large modules?

A limitation of automated refactoring workflows is strict scope control; the process avoids unrelated edits and requires manual approval for escalated scope changes. This prevents unintended side effects when refactoring large modules into smaller components.
