SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you convert a refactor idea or complaint about a code area into a precise, reviewable plan that reduces risk through incremental changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided user interview: Captures a long, detailed problem description plus implementation context to avoid guesswork.
  • Repo-aware verification: Checks the repository to confirm the user's assertions and understand the current state.
  • Tiny-commit execution plan + GitHub issue: Produces a commit-by-commit refactor roadmap that leaves the codebase working at every step, and files it as a GitHub issue using a structured template.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to create a refactor request plan for your Next.js/TypeScript codebase and file it as a GitHub issue.

Frequently Asked Questions about request-refactor-plan

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I break a risky codebase refactor into safe incremental commits?▼

To break a risky refactor into safe incremental commits, this Skill interviews you to scope the problem, verifies the current repository state, and generates a commit-by-commit roadmap that keeps the codebase working at every step.

What is the best way to plan an RFC-style software redesign for a Next.js codebase?▼

Planning an RFC-style software redesign involves exhaustive scoping and testing coverage assessment. This Skill captures your implementation context, explores options, and files the structured redesign plan directly as a GitHub issue.

How do I create a refactor plan that verifies my assumptions about the current repository state?▼

Creating a refactor plan that verifies repository assumptions requires repo-aware checks. This Skill cross-references your detailed problem description against the actual codebase to confirm assertions before generating incremental changes.

Can I use this to convert refactor ideas into structured GitHub issues?▼

Yes, you can convert refactor ideas into structured GitHub issues. The Skill produces a detailed refactor roadmap using a provided template and files it as an issue, ensuring clear scope and decisions for review.

Does this refactor planning workflow require a specific testing strategy beforehand?▼

A specific testing strategy is not required beforehand, but the workflow includes a testing coverage assessment. The Skill evaluates your existing tests during the exhaustive scoping phase to ensure each tiny commit remains safe.
