Request Refactor Plan

This is a side-route skill for work that is primarily about restructuring code safely rather than shaping a new feature.

Invocation Position

Use /request-refactor-plan when the user wants a refactor RFC, a tiny-commit migration path, or a safer way to reorganize code without jumping straight into implementation.

Do not use it when the work is still a product-shaping problem for /write-a-prd, or when the refactor task is already concrete enough to execute directly in /execute.

This skill will be invoked when the user wants to create a refactor request. You should go through the steps below. You may skip steps if you don't consider them necessary.

  1. Ask the user for a long, detailed description of the problem they want to solve and any potential ideas for solutions.

  2. Explore the repo to verify their assertions and understand the current state of the codebase.

  3. Ask whether they have considered other options, and present other options to them.

  4. Interview the user about the implementation. Be extremely detailed and thorough.
