What problem does it solve?
Technical debt and messy refactors slow teams; this skill provides a disciplined approach to safely restructure code without changing behavior, improving long-term velocity.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cadenced refactoring workflow: perform a single structural change per commit, with tests and reviews to validate behavior.
- Debt inventory and code-smell guidance to prioritize changes and track improvements over time.
- Use Case: when a legacy module shows high coupling, apply this process to gradually extract responsibilities while preserving functionality.
Quick Start
Identify one safe refactor in the current module and implement it with a small, atomic commit.
