Pattern Analyst Analysis

Identify current design patterns and anti-patterns, and recommend target patterns for the refactoring.

Analysis Checklist

Current Pattern Identification

• Classify design patterns in use (creational, structural, behavioral)
• Map how patterns interact across module boundaries
• Identify implicit patterns not formally documented
• Check pattern consistency across similar components

Anti-Pattern Detection

• Detect god classes or functions with too many responsibilities
• Find feature envy (methods using other class data excessively)
• Identify shotgun surgery (changes requiring edits in many places)
• Look for primitive obsession and data clumps
