Refactoring Patterns

Skill Verified Active

Apply named refactoring transformations to improve code structure without changing behavior. Use when the user mentions "refactor this", "code smells", "extract method", "replace conditional", "technical debt", "move method", "inline variable", or "decompose conditional". Also trigger when cleaning up legacy code, preparing code for new features by restructuring, or identifying which transformation to apply to a specific code smell. Covers smell-driven refactoring, safe transformation sequences, and testing guards. For code quality foundations, see clean-code. For managing complexity, see software-design-philosophy.

Purpose

To systematically improve code structure and reduce technical debt by applying proven, named refactoring patterns, ensuring code remains maintainable and understandable.

Features

  • Apply named refactoring transformations
  • Improve code structure without changing behavior
  • Guidance on smelling code and applying fixes
  • Comprehensive catalog of refactoring patterns
  • Safe refactoring workflow with testing guards

Use Cases

  • Refactoring code to improve its internal structure
  • Reducing technical debt through systematic transformations
  • Preparing code for new features by restructuring existing logic
  • Identifying and applying the correct refactoring for specific code smells

Non-Goals

  • Changing the observable behavior of the code
  • Adding new features during the refactoring process
  • Performing a complete rewrite of the codebase
  • Optimizing code for performance before clarity

Cleanup Cycles

100

Detect and untangle circular dependencies. Runs madge/skott (TS), pycycle (Py), or compiler-only checks (Go/Rust). Auto-fixes leaf-extractable cycles; reports core cycles for human review. Use when the user asks to find circular imports, fix dependency cycles, or untangle module graph. Example queries — "find circular imports", "fix dependency cycles", "untangle our module graph", "why is madge complaining".
