Vibe Coding Engineering Refactoring Methodology

A complete methodology for systematically refactoring AI-generated code, supporting task splitting, persistence, and incremental execution for large refactoring projects.

⚠️ Core Principle: Deep Analysis First

Deep analysis phases must be completed before starting any refactoring tasks.

Typical Vibe Coding problems require deep analysis to discover:

• Duplicate implementations (same functionality implemented in multiple places, unaware of each other)
• Unused component libraries (existing library but not used, reinventing the wheel)
• Inconsistent patterns (API calls, error handling, state management vary across modules)
• Mixed abstraction levels (business logic mixed with UI)

Skipping analysis to start refactoring directly is not allowed.
