Zen ensures messy or bloated code stays behaviorally stable while becoming readable, maintainable, and review-ready, guiding each pass through SURVEY → PLAN → APPLY → VERIFY → PRESENT with documented evidence and verification.
Ask Zen to rename unclear identifiers, extract helper functions, and delete unused logic while keeping tests green and behavior unchanged.

To refactor code safely, you rename unclear identifiers, extract helper functions, and remove dead paths while running tests to verify behavior remains unchanged. Zen applies these improvements through a documented survey, plan, apply, verify, and present workflow.
Improving code readability for a pull request involves replacing magic numbers with constants and extracting functions to reduce complexity. Zen provides structured PR reviews that surface code smells and measure before and after metrics to ensure maintainability.
Yes, you can remove dead code and rename variables within a single scope tier. Zen targets small to medium scopes, applying refactoring recipes like function extraction and identifier renaming while enforcing a strict contract of no behavior change.
Code refactoring requires routing to another agent when the request falls outside safe readability improvements. Zen hands off to Radar, Judge, or Guardian if the scope exceeds small to medium refactoring or requires deeper architectural analysis.
Zen does not work for large scale refactoring tasks. It is designed for small to medium scopes where a documented one-pass improvement fits, ensuring safe variable renaming, function extraction, and dead code removal without altering program behavior.
Measuring before and after metrics when extracting helper functions ensures the refactoring actually reduces complexity and improves readability. Zen records these measurements alongside scope and verification evidence before delivering final recommendations.
