request-refactor-plan

To plan a code refactor with tiny commits, this Skill interviews you to define the scope and desired outcomes, then outlines an incremental, testable commit plan applied directly to your repository.

You create a GitHub issue for a refactoring plan by generating a standardized template that includes the problem statement, proposed solution, tiny commits, decision document, testing decisions, and out-of-scope items.

Defining scope before refactoring a legacy module is best handled through an interview-driven problem framing process that captures exact desired outcomes and establishes clear testing decisions before any code changes.

You track refactoring progress using GitHub issues by applying a tiny-commit workflow that breaks complex changes into incremental steps, filing them as traceable issues with standardized decision documents.

A refactoring issue template should include the problem statement, solution, tiny commits, decision document, testing decisions, out of scope items, and further notes to ensure full visibility and traceability.
