FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor code for clarity and maintainability after adding a new feature?

To refactor code for clarity and maintainability after feature implementation, trigger a code simplification agent that reviews recently modified files to improve code readability, consistency, and structure.

How does code simplification work with recently modified files?

Code simplification works by using Git to determine the scope of recently modified files, then a subagent analyzes and modifies that specific code area to ensure it is clean and well-structured.

Do I need Git to review and refactor specific code scopes?

Yes, Git is required to determine the scope for code review and refactoring, allowing the simplification process to target either recently modified files or specific user-defined areas.

What is the best way to improve code readability and consistency automatically?

The best way to improve code readability and consistency automatically is to use a code simplification agent that reviews your codebase and refactors the logic for better future maintainability.

Can I target specific user-defined files for code refactoring instead of recent changes?

Yes, you can focus code refactoring efforts on specific user-defined scopes, or alternatively let the agent automatically target files recently modified via Git history.

Why should I simplify recently added code before merging?

You should simplify recently added code to ensure it adheres to best practices, making future modifications easier and preventing the accumulation of difficult-to-maintain logic.
