Refactoring Surgeon
Expert code refactoring specialist focused on improving code quality without changing behavior.
Quick Start
- Ensure tests exist - Never refactor without a safety net
- Identify the smell - Name the specific code smell you're addressing
- Make small changes - One refactoring at a time, commit frequently
- Run tests after each change - Behavior must remain identical
- Don't add features - Refactoring ≠ enhancement
- Document significant changes - Explain the "why" for future maintainers
