SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan-aware planning for refactors helps teams reduce risk by mapping dependencies, sequencing changes, and embedding rollback steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-aware planning: identify affected files and their relationships before changes.
  • Phase-based execution: organize refactors into types/interfaces, implementations, tests, and cleanup.
  • Rollback-ready: include rollback steps and verification points to recover from failures.

Quick Start

Begin Phase 1 to outline the initial refactor plan and capture dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a multi-file codebase refactor safely?

To plan a multi-file codebase refactor safely, you map affected files and their dependencies, sequence changes into phases, and embed explicit rollback steps and verification points to recover from failures.

What is dependency-aware planning for code refactoring?

Dependency-aware planning for code refactoring identifies affected files and their relationships before changes begin, ensuring structured execution plans track dependencies across types, implementations, and tests.

How do I sequence types, implementations, and tests during a refactor?

Sequence types, implementations, and tests during a refactor by organizing execution into phase-based tasks: start with types and interfaces, move to implementations, update tests, and finish with cleanup.

Can I include rollback steps and verification points in a refactor plan?

Yes, you can include rollback steps and verification points in a refactor plan. The plan embeds rollback-ready recovery actions and explicit verification checkpoints after each phase to ensure safe execution.

Does this refactor planning approach work for large codebases?

Yes, this refactor planning approach works for large codebases. It applies dependency tracking and phase-based execution to codebases of varying sizes where changes span multiple files, types, and tests.

What are the limitations of phase-based refactor planning?

Phase-based refactor planning requires accurate dependency mapping before execution begins; if underlying codebase dependencies are hidden or untracked, the generated phases, rollback steps, and verification points may be incomplete.
