Refactoring Assistant Skill
Suggests appropriate refactoring patterns and guides their application to improve code quality, maintainability, and migration readiness.
Purpose
Enable guided refactoring for:
- Code quality improvement
- Design pattern application
- Migration preparation
- Technical debt reduction
- Maintainability enhancement
Capabilities
1. Extract Method/Class Suggestions
- Identify extraction candidates
- Suggest method boundaries
- Recommend class decomposition
- Guide interface extraction
2. Move Method Recommendations
- Detect misplaced methods
- Suggest target classes
- Analyze dependencies
- Guide safe relocation
3. Rename Refactoring
- Suggest meaningful names
- Propagate renames safely
- Handle cross-references
- Update documentation
4. Inline Refactoring
- Identify inline candidates
- Remove unnecessary indirection
- Simplify call chains
- Reduce complexity
5. Pull Up/Push Down Member
- Analyze inheritance hierarchies
- Suggest member movement
- Optimize class hierarchies
- Improve polymorphism
6. Design Pattern Application
- Recognize pattern opportunities
- Guide pattern implementation
- Suggest appropriate patterns
- Validate pattern application
