Refactoring Analysis

Perform a systematic analysis of a codebase to identify refactoring opportunities based on Martin Fowler's "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code" (2nd Edition). Produce a prioritized report with actionable findings.

Procedures

Step 1: Scope the Analysis

1. Determine the analysis target — a specific directory, module, feature area, or the entire project. If the user did not specify, ask which area to focus on.
2. Identify the project's language and paradigm (OOP, functional, mixed) to calibrate which smells and techniques are applicable.
3. If the project follows domain-driven design (DDD) or hexagonal architecture, read references/solid-ddd-context.md for additional SOLID-specific analysis criteria.

Step 2: Explore the Codebase
