Guide structural code improvements using Kent Beck's Tidy First methodology. Use when seeing messy code, before making behavioral changes, after completing features, or discussing when to clean up code.
Identify messy code areas and apply small, safe structural tidying before introducing behavioral changes.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Refactor messy code safely by applying small, targeted structural tidying steps like guard clauses or renaming, keeping these changes isolated in separate commits before any behavioral changes.
Tidy First is a methodology for structural code improvements where developers apply small, safe changes to improve readability and maintainability, keeping tidying entirely separate from feature work.
Apply code tidying when you see messy code, before making behavioral changes, after completing features, or during code reviews to improve maintainability and readability.
Improve code maintainability using specific tidying steps like extracting helpers, inlining code, normalizing symmetries, chunking statements, and introducing explaining variables or constants.
Structural tidying integrates with TDD by ensuring safe, incremental code improvements are made in isolated steps with separate commits, maintaining test integrity during refactoring.
Avoid anti-patterns in code tidying by following a defined workflow with incremental, isolated steps and strict commit discipline, preventing structural changes from mixing with behavioral modifications.
