Refactor Design Patterns

Use this skill to make design-pattern suggestions practical, incremental, and grounded in the code that already exists.

Start with references/refactoring-workflow.md.

If a pattern is warranted or the user requests a pattern comparison, use references/catalog.md to route by problem type:

• references/creational/index.md for creation and configuration problems
• references/structural/index.md for composition, wrapping, interoperability, or simplification problems
• references/behavioral/index.md for control flow, runtime behavior, communication, or orchestration problems

Use references/agent-mappings.md only when an AI-agent analogy would clarify the recommendation.

Working style

Anchor every recommendation in the current codebase and the user's actual pain points.
