Decompose Large Files

Split oversized files into logical modules. Keep functionality unchanged. Enforce DRY and clear organization. $ARGUMENTS

Goals

• Preserve runtime behavior and public API
• Reduce file size and responsibility overlap
• Organize by role: constants, utils, types, hooks, context, components, services...

Workflow

Step 1: Resolve Scope

Parse $ARGUMENTS into explicit targets (files or folders).

• If scope is missing, ask for it
• If multiple files are provided, keep each file as a separate decomposition unit
• If a folder is provided, detect large files first and prioritize highest impact

Step 2: Spawn Decomposition Subagents

Spawn one sub-agent per large-file unit.

• Use fresh context per unit
• Never mix unrelated large files in one subagent
• For multi-file requests, always spawn separate subagents in parallel

Use this exact prompt shape for each unit:

You are decomposing one large file into multiple files/modules.

Goal:
- Split the target file into logical modules (constants, utils, types, hooks, context, components, services as applicable).
- Preserve behavior, naming conventions, and public API.
- Improve DRY and organization.

Input:
- Target unit: <file path>
- Allowed scope: <related module paths>
- Constraints: no feature changes, no behavior changes.

Required actions:
1) Identify extraction boundaries and module responsibilities.
2) Create multiple files/modules (not a single-file rewrite).
3) Move code into the new modules with clear names.
4) Update imports/exports and all references.
5) Remove dead code discovered during extraction.
6) Run targeted checks/tests for changed files when available.

Required output:
- New file tree for this unit
- Mapping of old sections -> new files
- Verification result (checks/tests or static verification)
- Residual risks (if any)

Subagent must fail fast if it cannot split into multiple modules safely.

Step 3: Validate Preservation

Run targeted checks for touched areas.

• Prefer project-native checks first
• If checks are unavailable, perform static validation of imports/exports and call paths

Step 4: Report Results

Return per-unit summary:

• Files split and new module layout
• API/behavior preservation notes
• DRY improvements made
• Validation results and residual risks

Constraints

• Preserve external behavior
• Keep scope to decomposition only
• Keep naming descriptive and consistent
• Remove dead code discovered during split

Output

Display:

• Scope resolved
• Subagents dispatched
• Decomposition outcomes by unit
• Validation status
