SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The refactor skill identifies and applies code transformations across the repository using parallel Snipper agents to accelerate large-scale changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch-safe: plans and groups affected files to minimize conflicts while preserving functionality.
  • Pattern-driven: renames methods, updates patterns, and fixes code smells across multiple files.
  • Audit-ready: generates a clear task log and verification steps for reproducibility.

Quick Start

Submit a refactor request such as '/refactor rename getUserData to fetchUserProfile' across the codebase.

Frequently Asked Questions about refactor

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I rename a method across multiple files in my codebase without breaking functionality?▼

To rename a method across multiple files, you can apply parallel code refactoring using explicit transformation instructions to update patterns while preserving functionality through post-change verification.

What is the best way to fix code smells across an entire repository?▼

Fixing code smells across a repository requires pattern-driven refactoring that identifies affected files, groups them to minimize conflicts, and applies consistent transformations using parallel agents for batch safety.

Can I update coding patterns in parallel across my codebase safely?▼

Yes, updating coding patterns in parallel is safe when the refactor process plans and groups affected files into batches to minimize conflicts while applying consistent changes across the codebase.

Do I need to specify a scope limit when refactoring my codebase?▼

Yes, you need to provide explicit transformation instructions and valid scope limits to ensure the parallel refactoring agents target the correct files and generate an audit-ready task log for reproducibility.

Why does large-scale code refactoring require post-change verification?▼

Large-scale code refactoring requires post-change verification to ensure functionality is preserved after applying transformations, generating clear verification steps that confirm the batch-safe changes did not introduce conflicts.
