request-refactor-plan

Plan a refactor by decomposing structural changes into the smallest commits that keep the codebase green. This approach uses an adversarial interview to verify each step maintains passing tests before proceeding.

An adversarial interview for code refactoring is a guided workflow that challenges your plan to break changes into tiny, verifiable commits. It ensures each commit leaves the tree green by applying strict checkpoint criteria.

Break down structural changes like rename, extract, move, split, or dedupe by following a concrete plan template. This template guides you through checkpoint criteria to isolate each operation into a minimal, green commit.

Yes, you can mirror refactor outcomes to issue trackers for traceability. The process includes an optional feature to emit GitHub issues directly from the finalized commit plan.

This refactoring approach requires keeping the codebase green at each commit, which inherently depends on existing test coverage. Without green tests, the checkpoint criteria cannot verify that each minimal commit leaves the tree in a valid state.
