Refactoring Engine

This skill moves beyond line-by-line changes to perform systemic improvements to the code architecture.

Capabilities

1. Pattern Migration

• Migrates components to new design systems (e.g., from CSS modules to Tailwind, or to Atomic Design).
• Converts legacy syntax to modern standards (e.g., Class components to Functional components in React).

2. Dependency Decoupling

• Identifies and breaks circular dependencies.
• Extracts shared logic into centralized services or utilities.

Workflow

1. Pinning Tests (Mandatory): Before changing any code, create tests that capture the current behavior (even if it's messy). This ensures no regression occurs.
2. Architectural Analysis: Use cognitive-load-auditor to identify high-complexity hotspots.
3. Pattern Migration: Apply clean code patterns (Guard Clauses, Strategy, etc.).

Knowledge Protocol

• This skill adheres to the knowledge/orchestration/knowledge-protocol.md. It automatically integrates Public, Confidential (Company/Client), and Personal knowledge tiers, prioritizing the most specific secrets while ensuring no leaks to public outputs.
