Refactoring Patterns

重构模式

Refactoring is the discipline of restructuring existing code without changing its observable behavior. The goal is to make code easier to understand, cheaper to modify, and less likely to harbor bugs. Each refactoring move is a named, repeatable transformation - applying them in small, tested steps keeps the codebase safe. This skill gives an agent the vocabulary and judgment to recognize structural problems, choose the right refactoring move, and execute it correctly.
重构是在不改变代码可观测行为的前提下，对现有代码进行结构调整的规范做法。其目标是让代码更易于理解、修改成本更低，且更不容易隐藏Bug。每一种重构手法都是一个有命名、可重复的转换操作——通过小步迭代并在每一步后验证测试通过，能保证代码库的安全性。此Skill赋予Agent识别代码结构问题、选择合适重构手法并正确执行的专业能力。

When to use this skill

何时使用此Skill

Trigger this skill when the user:
  • Asks to extract a method, function, or block into a named helper
  • Has a long 
    if/else
    chain or 
    switch
    that grows with every new case
  • Wants to simplify a function with too many parameters
  • Asks to replace magic numbers or string literals with named constants
  • Wants to break apart a large class that does too many things
  • Has complex conditional logic that is hard to read at a glance
  • Asks for "systematic" code improvement without changing behavior
  • Wants to eliminate duplication across multiple files or classes
Do NOT trigger this skill for:
  • Performance optimization - refactoring targets readability, not speed
  • Architecture decisions that change system boundaries (use clean-architecture instead)
当用户有以下需求时，触发此Skill：
  • 请求将某个方法、函数或代码块提取为一个具名辅助函数
  • 存在会随新场景不断膨胀的长
    if/else
    链或
    switch
    语句
  • 希望简化参数过多的函数
  • 请求将魔术数字或字符串字面量替换为具名常量
  • 希望拆分职责过多的大型类
  • 存在一眼难以读懂的复杂条件逻辑
  • 要求在不改变行为的前提下“系统性”地优化代码
  • 希望消除多个文件或类之间的代码重复
请勿在以下场景触发此Skill：
  • 性能优化——重构的目标是可读性，而非执行速度
  • 会改变系统边界的架构决策（请使用clean-architecture Skill）

Key principles

核心原则

  1. Small steps with tests - Apply one refactoring at a time and verify tests pass after each step. A failing test means the refactoring changed behavior.
  2. Preserve observable behavior - Callers must not notice the change. Return values, side effects, and thrown errors must remain identical.
  3. One refactor at a time - Don't mix Extract Method with Rename Variable in one commit. Each commit should contain exactly one named refactoring move.
  4. Refactor before adding features - Fowler's rule: make the change easy, then make the easy change. Restructure first, add the feature second.
  5. Code smells signal refactoring need - Smells like long functions, duplicated code, and large parameter lists are symptoms pointing to the correct refactoring move. See 
    references/code-smells.md
    for the full catalog.
  1. 小步迭代+测试验证 - 每次只应用一种重构手法，且每一步后都要验证测试通过。测试失败意味着重构改变了代码行为。
  2. 保留可观测行为 - 调用者不应察觉到任何变化。返回值、副作用和抛出的错误必须完全一致。
  3. 一次只做一种重构 - 不要在一次提交中同时进行Extract Method和Rename Variable操作。每次提交应只包含一种有明确命名的重构手法。
  4. 先重构再新增功能 - Fowler法则：先让修改变得容易，再完成这个容易的修改。先调整代码结构，再添加新功能。
  5. 代码坏味道（Code Smells）提示重构需求 - 长函数、重复代码、过长参数列表等“坏味道”，是指向正确重构手法的信号。完整的“坏味道”列表请参考
    references/code-smells.md
    。

Speculative Generality存在没有实际使用场景的抽象Collapse Hierarchy / Remove

Refactoring safety net

重构安全保障

Never refactor without tests. If tests don't exist, write characterization tests first - tests that capture the current behavior before you change anything. The test suite is the contract that proves the refactoring preserved behavior.
绝对不要在没有测试的情况下进行重构。如果没有测试，请先编写特性测试（characterization tests）——即在修改代码前，先编写能捕获当前代码行为的测试。测试套件是证明重构未改变代码行为的契约。

Common tasks

常见任务

Extract method

Extract Method

Apply when a function contains a section that can be given a meaningful name.
Before:
typescript
function printOrderSummary(order: Order): void {
  // print header
  console.log("=".repeat(40));
  console.log(`Order #${order.id} - ${order.customer.name}`);
  console.log(`Date: ${order.createdAt.toLocaleDateString()}`);
  console.log("=".repeat(40));

  // print line items
  for (const item of order.items) {
    const lineTotal = item.price * item.quantity;
    console.log(`  ${item.name} x${item.quantity} @ $${item.price} = $${lineTotal}`);
  }

  // print totals
  const subtotal = order.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
  const tax = subtotal * 0.08;
  console.log(`Subtotal: $${subtotal.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Tax (8%): $${tax.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Total:    $${(subtotal + tax).toFixed(2)}`);
}
After:
typescript
function printOrderSummary(order: Order): void {
  printOrderHeader(order);
  printLineItems(order.items);
  printOrderTotals(order.items);
}

function printOrderHeader(order: Order): void {
  console.log("=".repeat(40));
  console.log(`Order #${order.id} - ${order.customer.name}`);
  console.log(`Date: ${order.createdAt.toLocaleDateString()}`);
  console.log("=".repeat(40));
}

function printLineItems(items: OrderItem[]): void {
  for (const item of items) {
    const lineTotal = item.price * item.quantity;
    console.log(`  ${item.name} x${item.quantity} @ $${item.price} = $${lineTotal}`);
  }
}

function printOrderTotals(items: OrderItem[]): void {
  const subtotal = items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
  const tax = subtotal * 0.08;
  console.log(`Subtotal: $${subtotal.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Tax (8%): $${tax.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Total:    $${(subtotal + tax).toFixed(2)}`);
}
当函数中存在可被赋予明确名称的代码块时，可使用此手法。
重构前：
typescript
function printOrderSummary(order: Order): void {
  // print header
  console.log("=".repeat(40));
  console.log(`Order #${order.id} - ${order.customer.name}`);
  console.log(`Date: ${order.createdAt.toLocaleDateString()}`);
  console.log("=".repeat(40));

  // print line items
  for (const item of order.items) {
    const lineTotal = item.price * item.quantity;
    console.log(`  ${item.name} x${item.quantity} @ $${item.price} = $${lineTotal}`);
  }

  // print totals
  const subtotal = order.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
  const tax = subtotal * 0.08;
  console.log(`Subtotal: $${subtotal.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Tax (8%): $${tax.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Total:    $${(subtotal + tax).toFixed(2)}`);
}
重构后：
typescript
function printOrderSummary(order: Order): void {
  printOrderHeader(order);
  printLineItems(order.items);
  printOrderTotals(order.items);
}

function printOrderHeader(order: Order): void {
  console.log("=".repeat(40));
  console.log(`Order #${order.id} - ${order.customer.name}`);
  console.log(`Date: ${order.createdAt.toLocaleDateString()}`);
  console.log("=".repeat(40));
}

function printLineItems(items: OrderItem[]): void {
  for (const item of items) {
    const lineTotal = item.price * item.quantity;
    console.log(`  ${item.name} x${item.quantity} @ $${item.price} = $${lineTotal}`);
  }
}

function printOrderTotals(items: OrderItem[]): void {
  const subtotal = items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
  const tax = subtotal * 0.08;
  console.log(`Subtotal: $${subtotal.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Tax (8%): $${tax.toFixed(2)}`);
  console.log(`Total:    $${(subtotal + tax).toFixed(2)}`);
}

Replace conditional with polymorphism

Replace Conditional with Polymorphism

Apply when a 
switch
or 
if/else
dispatches behavior by type, and new types keep getting added. Each new case is a modification to existing code - a violation of OCP.
Before:
typescript
function calculateShipping(order: Order): number {
  switch (order.shippingMethod) {
    case "standard": return order.weight * 0.5;
    case "express":  return order.weight * 1.5 + 5;
    case "overnight": return order.weight * 3.0 + 15;
    default: throw new Error(`Unknown shipping method: ${order.shippingMethod}`);
  }
}
After:
typescript
interface ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number;
}

class StandardShipping implements ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number { return order.weight * 0.5; }
}

class ExpressShipping implements ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number { return order.weight * 1.5 + 5; }
}

class OvernightShipping implements ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number { return order.weight * 3.0 + 15; }
}

// Adding a new method = new class only, no modification to existing code
function calculateShipping(order: Order, strategy: ShippingStrategy): number {
  return strategy.calculate(order);
}
当
switch
或
if/else
语句根据类型分发行为，且不断有新类型被添加时，可使用此手法。每新增一个场景就修改现有代码的做法违反了OCP（开闭原则）。
重构前：
typescript
function calculateShipping(order: Order): number {
  switch (order.shippingMethod) {
    case "standard": return order.weight * 0.5;
    case "express":  return order.weight * 1.5 + 5;
    case "overnight": return order.weight * 3.0 + 15;
    default: throw new Error(`Unknown shipping method: ${order.shippingMethod}`);
  }
}
重构后：
typescript
interface ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number;
}

class StandardShipping implements ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number { return order.weight * 0.5; }
}

class ExpressShipping implements ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number { return order.weight * 1.5 + 5; }
}

class OvernightShipping implements ShippingStrategy {
  calculate(order: Order): number { return order.weight * 3.0 + 15; }
}

// Adding a new method = new class only, no modification to existing code
function calculateShipping(order: Order, strategy: ShippingStrategy): number {
  return strategy.calculate(order);
}

Introduce parameter object

Introduce Parameter Object

Apply when a function receives 4+ related parameters that travel together.
Before:
typescript
function createReport(
  title: string,
  startDate: Date,
  endDate: Date,
  authorId: string,
  format: "pdf" | "csv",
  includeCharts: boolean
): Report { ... }
After:
typescript
interface ReportOptions {
  title: string;
  dateRange: { start: Date; end: Date };
  authorId: string;
  format: "pdf" | "csv";
  includeCharts: boolean;
}

function createReport(options: ReportOptions): Report { ... }
当函数接收4个及以上相关联且总是一起传递的参数时，可使用此手法。
重构前：
typescript
function createReport(
  title: string,
  startDate: Date,
  endDate: Date,
  authorId: string,
  format: "pdf" | "csv",
  includeCharts: boolean
): Report { ... }
重构后：
typescript
interface ReportOptions {
  title: string;
  dateRange: { start: Date; end: Date };
  authorId: string;
  format: "pdf" | "csv";
  includeCharts: boolean;
}

function createReport(options: ReportOptions): Report { ... }

Replace magic numbers with named constants

Replace Magic Numbers with Named Constants

Apply when numeric or string literals appear in logic without explanation.
Before:
typescript
function isEligibleForDiscount(user: User): boolean {
  return user.totalPurchases > 500 && user.accountAgeDays > 90;
}

function calculateLateFee(daysLate: number): number {
  return daysLate * 2.5;
}
After:
typescript
const DISCOUNT_PURCHASE_THRESHOLD = 500;
const DISCOUNT_ACCOUNT_AGE_DAYS = 90;
const LATE_FEE_PER_DAY = 2.5;

function isEligibleForDiscount(user: User): boolean {
  return (
    user.totalPurchases > DISCOUNT_PURCHASE_THRESHOLD &&
    user.accountAgeDays > DISCOUNT_ACCOUNT_AGE_DAYS
  );
}

function calculateLateFee(daysLate: number): number {
  return daysLate * LATE_FEE_PER_DAY;
}
当逻辑中出现无解释的数字或字符串字面量时，可使用此手法。
重构前：
typescript
function isEligibleForDiscount(user: User): boolean {
  return user.totalPurchases > 500 && user.accountAgeDays > 90;
}

function calculateLateFee(daysLate: number): number {
  return daysLate * 2.5;
}
重构后：
typescript
const DISCOUNT_PURCHASE_THRESHOLD = 500;
const DISCOUNT_ACCOUNT_AGE_DAYS = 90;
const LATE_FEE_PER_DAY = 2.5;

function isEligibleForDiscount(user: User): boolean {
  return (
    user.totalPurchases > DISCOUNT_PURCHASE_THRESHOLD &&
    user.accountAgeDays > DISCOUNT_ACCOUNT_AGE_DAYS
  );
}

function calculateLateFee(daysLate: number): number {
  return daysLate * LATE_FEE_PER_DAY;
}

Decompose conditional

Decompose Conditional

Apply when a complex boolean expression obscures what condition is actually being tested. Extract each clause into a named predicate.
Before:
typescript
if (
  user.subscription === "premium" &&
  user.accountAgeDays > 30 &&
  !user.isSuspended &&
  (user.region === "US" || user.region === "CA")
) {
  grantEarlyAccess(user);
}
After:
typescript
function isPremiumUser(user: User): boolean {
  return user.subscription === "premium";
}

function isEstablishedAccount(user: User): boolean {
  return user.accountAgeDays > 30 && !user.isSuspended;
}

function isEligibleRegion(user: User): boolean {
  return user.region === "US" || user.region === "CA";
}

if (isPremiumUser(user) && isEstablishedAccount(user) && isEligibleRegion(user)) {
  grantEarlyAccess(user);
}
当复杂的布尔表达式掩盖了实际要判断的条件时，可使用此手法。将每个条件子句提取为具名谓词函数。
重构前：
typescript
if (
  user.subscription === "premium" &&
  user.accountAgeDays > 30 &&
  !user.isSuspended &&
  (user.region === "US" || user.region === "CA")
) {
  grantEarlyAccess(user);
}
重构后：
typescript
function isPremiumUser(user: User): boolean {
  return user.subscription === "premium";
}

function isEstablishedAccount(user: User): boolean {
  return user.accountAgeDays > 30 && !user.isSuspended;
}

function isEligibleRegion(user: User): boolean {
  return user.region === "US" || user.region === "CA";
}

if (isPremiumUser(user) && isEstablishedAccount(user) && isEligibleRegion(user)) {
  grantEarlyAccess(user);
}

Extract class

Extract Class

Apply when a class has a cluster of fields and methods that form a distinct responsibility. The test: can you describe the class in one sentence without "and"?
Before:
typescript
class User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  street: string;
  city: string;
  state: string;
  zip: string;

  getFullAddress(): string {
    return `${this.street}, ${this.city}, ${this.state} ${this.zip}`;
  }

  isValidAddress(): boolean {
    return Boolean(this.street && this.city && this.state && this.zip);
  }
}
After:
typescript
class Address {
  constructor(
    public street: string,
    public city: string,
    public state: string,
    public zip: string
  ) {}

  toString(): string {
    return `${this.street}, ${this.city}, ${this.state} ${this.zip}`;
  }

  isValid(): boolean {
    return Boolean(this.street && this.city && this.state && this.zip);
  }
}

class User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  address: Address;
}
当一个类包含一组形成独立职责的字段和方法时，可使用此手法。判断标准：你能否用一句话描述该类的职责且不使用“和”字？
重构前：
typescript
class User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  street: string;
  city: string;
  state: string;
  zip: string;

  getFullAddress(): string {
    return `${this.street}, ${this.city}, ${this.state} ${this.zip}`;
  }

  isValidAddress(): boolean {
    return Boolean(this.street && this.city && this.state && this.zip);
  }
}
重构后：
typescript
class Address {
  constructor(
    public street: string,
    public city: string,
    public state: string,
    public zip: string
  ) {}

  toString(): string {
    return `${this.street}, ${this.city}, ${this.state} ${this.zip}`;
  }

  isValid(): boolean {
    return Boolean(this.street && this.city && this.state && this.zip);
  }
}

class User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  address: Address;
}

Replace temp with query

Replace Temp with Query

Apply when a local variable stores a computed value that could be a method call. Eliminates the variable and makes the intent reusable.
Before:
typescript
function applyDiscount(order: Order): number {
  const basePrice = order.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
  const discount = basePrice > 100 ? basePrice * 0.1 : 0;
  return basePrice - discount;
}
After:
typescript
function basePrice(order: Order): number {
  return order.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
}

function discount(order: Order): number {
  return basePrice(order) > 100 ? basePrice(order) * 0.1 : 0;
}

function applyDiscount(order: Order): number {
  return basePrice(order) - discount(order);
}
当局部变量存储的计算值可被方法调用替代时，可使用此手法。这样能消除临时变量，让代码意图更清晰且可复用。
重构前：
typescript
function applyDiscount(order: Order): number {
  const basePrice = order.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
  const discount = basePrice > 100 ? basePrice * 0.1 : 0;
  return basePrice - discount;
}
重构后：
typescript
function basePrice(order: Order): number {
  return order.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0);
}

function discount(order: Order): number {
  return basePrice(order) > 100 ? basePrice(order) * 0.1 : 0;
}

function applyDiscount(order: Order): number {
  return basePrice(order) - discount(order);
}

Anti-patterns / common mistakes

反模式 / 常见错误

MistakeWhy it's wrongWhat to do instead
Refactoring without testsNo proof that behavior was preserved; bugs introduced invisiblyWrite characterization tests before the first change
Mixing refactoring with featuresMakes diffs unreadable and bugs hard to attributeSeparate commits: one for refactoring, one for the feature
Over-extracting tiny functionsDozens of 2-line functions destroy navigabilityExtract when a block has a clear name and independent purpose
Applying polymorphism to stable switchesStrategy pattern adds classes for no gain when the switch never growsOnly replace with polymorphism when new cases are expected
Renaming everything at onceMass renames hide structural changes and cause merge conflictsRename one thing per commit; use IDE rename-refactor to stay safe
错误做法问题所在正确做法
无测试情况下重构无法证明代码行为未被改变，Bug会被隐形引入在第一次修改前编写特性测试
重构与新增功能混合提交差异难以阅读，Bug难以定位拆分提交：一次提交用于重构，一次提交用于新增功能
过度提取微小函数大量2行函数会破坏代码的可导航性仅当代码块有明确名称且具备独立职责时才进行提取
对稳定的switch语句使用多态当switch语句不会再新增场景时，策略模式只会增加不必要的类仅当预期会新增场景时，才用多态取代条件语句
一次性重命名所有内容大规模重命名会掩盖结构变化，引发合并冲突每次提交只重命名一个内容；使用IDE的重命名重构功能以确保安全
