Refactoring involves reorganizing code without changing external behavior, but teams often lack a clear, scoped process that ensures safety, test coverage, and maintainability after changes. This skill provides a structured approach to plan, execute, and validate refactors so improvements are predictable and reviewable.
Identify a small, well-scoped module and start the refactor workflow, ensuring tests remain green after each change.

To safely refactor code after tests pass, you should enforce scoped changes, adhere to naming conventions, and validate test coverage through a structured assessment, refactor, and commit cycle.
The best way to plan a scoped refactor is to focus on the minimal set of production and test code, assess risks before applying changes, and ensure tests remain green after every modification.
You should use a structured refactoring process for module maintenance when you need predictable, reviewable code improvements that enforce naming conventions and maintain test coverage.
Yes, you can refactor architecture and test suites without losing coverage by enforcing guardrails that assess risk, require naming conventions, and validate tests after each scoped change.
Yes, this refactoring approach works directly with red-green-refactor workflows by acting as the post-GREEN phase step to execute safe, scoped code cleanups.
Refactoring without a structured assessment step risks unpredictable changes, broken test coverage, and architecture degradation due to lacking enforced guardrails and naming conventions.
