What problem does it solve?

This skill ensures refactoring is a deliberate, safe activity rather than ad-hoc cleanup that accumulates technical debt and introduces bugs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Refactor Timing Signals: Apply the Rule of Three, feature additions, bug fixes, and review feedback to choose when refactors make the most sense.
  • Implementation Workflow: Always start with passing tests, keep changes atomic, avoid mixing new features, and rerun the suite after each small step so behavior stays stable.
  • Use Case: When planning an export feature, map the Refactoring Strategy to cleaning up shared report logic before adding CSV output so the new work rests on solid, low-debt foundations.
  • Prioritization Lens: Target frequently changed, complex modules with high-interest debt and defer ugly-but-stable code.

Quick Start

Lead a planning discussion that maps upcoming feature work to Rule of Three refactors and high-interest debt cleanup.
