About this skill
Improve code structure and readability without changing external behavior. Refactoring is gradual evolution, not revolution. Use this for improving existing code, not rewriting from scratch. Use this skill when: - Code is hard to understand or maintain - Functions/classes are too large - Code smells need addressing - Adding features is difficult due to code structure - User asks "clean up this code", "refactor this", "improve this" - Behavior is preserved - Refactoring doesn't change what the code does, only how - Small steps - Make tiny changes, test after each - Version control is your friend - Commit before and after each safe state - Tests are essential - Without tests, you're not refactoring, you're editing - One thing at a time - Don't mix refactoring with feature changes
