To create a safe incremental refactor plan, you need a structured approach that breaks code changes into the smallest possible working steps. This ensures the codebase remains functional and produces a standardized GitHub issue with problem statements, solution details, and testing guidelines for team review.

A refactoring RFC is a decision document that validates refactor assertions by exploring the codebase before making changes. It prevents broken code and missed edge cases by defining exact scope, out-of-scope items, and tiny commit plans, eliminating unstructured, high-risk refactoring efforts.

Yes, structured refactor planning applies directly to legacy module migration. It guides you through a structured interview to document the exact scope, testing requirements, and step-by-step commit plan, generating a shareable GitHub issue for your team to review and track the migration safely.

You break large code refactoring work into reviewable steps by generating a detailed plan that emphasizes incremental commits. This process produces standardized GitHub issues containing tiny commit plans and decision documents, ensuring each step is safe, functional, and easily reviewable by your team.

Yes, this refactor planning approach validates existing codebase states. It features structured problem validation that explores the codebase to confirm the current state of the affected code, ensuring your refactor assertions are accurate before generating the incremental commit plan.
