Code Refactoring

Orchestrate large structural refactors using ast-grep to discover scope and gritql to apply transformations safely.

When to Use

Use this skill for:

• Multi-file refactoring (rename classes, methods, variables)
• API migrations (framework updates, library changes)
• Pattern refactoring (inheritance → composition)
• Code modernization (language idioms, best practices)

Don't use for:

• Single-file simple changes → Use Edit tool directly
• Logic changes requiring context → Manual review
• Non-code files (YAML, JSON, MD) → Use Edit tool
