Apply meta-principles of software craftsmanship: DRY, orthogonality, tracer bullets, and design by contract. Use when the user mentions "best practices", "pragmatic approach", "broken windows", "tracer bullet", or "software craftsmanship". Covers estimation, domain languages, and reversibility. For code-level quality, see clean-code. For refactoring techniques, see refactoring-patterns.
Write readable, maintainable code through disciplined naming, small functions, and clean error handling. Use when the user mentions "code review", "naming conventions", "function too long", "code smells", or "readable code". Covers SRP, comment discipline, formatting, and unit testing. For refactoring techniques, see refactoring-patterns. For architecture, see clean-architecture.
Code refactoring patterns and techniques for improving code quality without changing behavior. Use for cleaning up legacy code, reducing complexity, or improving maintainability.
Modernize and improve legacy codebases while maintaining functionality. Use when you need to refactor old code, reduce technical debt, modernize deprecated patterns, or improve code maintainability without breaking existing behavior.
Use this skill when refactoring code to improve readability, reduce duplication, or simplify complex logic. Triggers on extract method, inline variable, replace conditional with polymorphism, introduce parameter object, decompose conditional, replace magic numbers, pull up/push down method, and any task requiring systematic code transformation without changing behavior.
Implement the minimal code needed to make failing tests pass in the TDD green phase.
Provides refactoring recommendations and step-by-step improvement plans. Use when planning refactoring, improving code structure, or reducing technical debt.
Restructures existing code to improve readability, maintainability, and performance without changing external behavior. USE WHEN: Restructuring code without changing behavior, extracting methods/classes, removing duplication, applying design patterns, improving code organization, reducing technical debt. DO NOT USE: For bug fixes (use /debugging), for adding tests (use /testing), for new features (implement directly). TRIGGERS: refactor, restructure, rewrite, clean up, simplify, extract, inline, rename, move, split, merge, decompose, modularize, decouple, technical debt, code smell, DRY, SOLID, improve code, modernize, reorganize.
Suggest refactoring opportunities to improve code structure and maintainability. Use when improving code design or reducing complexity.
Refactor code to improve clarity and maintainability without changing behavior. Use when improving readability, reducing complexity, or eliminating duplication.
Plans and executes safe refactoring with tests as a safety net. Use when restructuring code, extracting functions, renaming across files, or simplifying complex logic without changing behavior.
TDD-based code simplification that preserves behavior through tests. Use Red-Green-Refactor cycles to simplify code one test-verified change at a time. **DISTINCT FROM**: General code review or AI rewriting—this skill requires existing tests and only proceeds when tests confirm behavior is preserved. **PROACTIVE**: Auto-invoke when test-covered code has complexity (functions >50 lines, high cyclomatic complexity, duplication) and user wants to simplify it safely. Trigger phrases: 'clean up code', 'make code simpler', 'reduce complexity', 'refactoring help'. **NOT FOR**: Adding features or fixing bugs—use /tdd skill instead.
