refactor-code

Refactor code with safety checks and pattern application. Use when user says "refactor this code", "clean up this function", "simplify this logic", "extract this into a separate function", "apply the strategy pattern here", "reduce the complexity of this module", or "reorganize this file structure".

Code Refactorer

Orchestrate sophisticated refactoring through multi-agent coordination with safety checks.

When to Activate

User wants to refactor code
Code complexity needs reduction
Design patterns should be applied
Technical debt cleanup needed
Code structure improvements requested
User mentions "clean up", "simplify", or "improve"

Refactoring Strategies

Strategy	Risk	Use When
Safe (default)	Low	Production code, critical paths
Aggressive	Medium	Comprehensive restructuring with tests
Architectural	High	System-wide pattern application

Quick Process

Analyze: Understand current structure and issues
Identify: Detect applicable design patterns
Plan: Create incremental, safe transformations
Validate: Ensure behavior preservation
Test: Generate tests for refactored code

Goals

readability: Extract expressions, rename for clarity
performance: Algorithm improvements, caching
maintainability: SOLID principles, reduce coupling
testability: Dependency injection, pure functions
all: Comprehensive improvement

Output Format

Provides:

Summary with metrics and risk assessment
Analysis of current issues and patterns
Incremental patches with diffs
Migration plan for architectural changes
Validation results

Safety

Small, reviewable patches
Dependency ordering
Rollback procedures
Validation checkpoints
