safe-refactor

Safe refactor orchestrates a risk-aware cycle enforcing assessment, implementation, verification, and documentation phases. It uses pre-mortem checks, automated gates with bash, git, pytest, and jest, and produces auditable steps to minimize breaking changes across large rewrites and migrations on critical paths.

Structure migrations through phase-based discipline: assess risk upfront, implement changes methodically, verify with automated checks, and document decisions. This approach integrates common tools for testing and version control, creating governance-ready gates that prevent accidental breaking changes.

Yes. Safe refactor supports integration with bash, git, pytest, and jest for automated checks and safe gates. It works with your existing tools to enforce verification and documentation without requiring external dependencies.

Pre-mortem assessment identifies risks before implementation by simulating failure scenarios on critical paths. Safe refactor integrates or simulates these checks in the first phase, allowing teams to surface and mitigate issues before code changes begin.

Document risk assessment findings, implementation decisions, verification results, and deployment gates. Safe refactor enforces structured documentation throughout its phases, producing auditable records that demonstrate governance compliance and support rollback decisions.
