Code refactoring patterns and techniques for improving code quality without changing behavior. Use for cleaning up legacy code, reducing complexity, or improving maintainability.
Apply named refactoring transformations to improve code structure without changing behavior. Use when the user mentions "refactor this", "code smells", "extract method", "replace conditional", or "technical debt". Covers smell-driven refactoring, safe transformation sequences, and testing guards. For code quality foundations, see clean-code. For managing complexity, see software-design-philosophy.
Code quality standards. Defines complexity management, modular design, code smell detection. Applied automatically when writing or reviewing code.
Refactor code for quality, reduce technical debt, and improve maintainability. Use for cleanup tasks and code improvements.
Apply safe refactoring patterns to improve code structure without changing behavior. Use when cleaning up code, reducing technical debt, or improving maintainability.
Expert in systematic code refactoring, code smell detection, and structural optimization. Use PROACTIVELY when encountering duplicated code, long methods, complex conditionals, or any code quality issues. Detects code smells and applies proven refactoring techniques without changing external behavior.
Code refactoring best practices based on Martin Fowler's catalog and Clean Code principles (formerly refactoring). This skill should be used when refactoring existing code, improving code structure, reducing complexity, eliminating code smells, or reviewing code for maintainability. Triggers on tasks involving extract method, rename, decompose conditional, reduce coupling, or improve readability.
Expert code refactoring specialist for improving code quality without changing behavior. Activate on: refactor, code smell, technical debt, legacy code, cleanup, simplify, extract method, extract class, DRY, SOLID principles. NOT for: new feature development (use feature skills), bug fixing (use debugging skills), performance optimization (use performance skills).
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.
Deep architectural audit focused on finding dead code, duplicated functionality, architectural anti-patterns, type confusion, and code smells. Use when user asks for architectural analysis, find dead code, identify duplication, or assess codebase health.
This skill guides systematic code refactoring following the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. Use it when users request to eliminate code duplication, refactor repetitive code, apply the DRY principle, or mention code smells like copy-paste code, magic numbers, or repeated logic. It implements a 4-step workflow from identifying repetition to verified refactoring.
This skill provides expert-level guidance for refactoring VS Code extension code. Use when extracting classes or functions, reducing code duplication, improving type safety, reorganizing module structure, applying design patterns, or optimizing performance. Covers systematic refactoring workflows, code smell detection, safe transformation techniques, and VS Code-specific patterns.
