How does it help with technical debt?

It provides a structured /refactoring-plan command that helps identify code smells and creates a prioritized checklist for systematic cleanup.

Can I use this for large architectural changes?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for architectural-level restructuring, such as refactoring service boundaries and redesigning database access patterns.

How does this skill ensure refactoring is safe?

The skill enforces a Red-Green-Refactor workflow that mandates existing tests pass before starting and requires incremental verification after every small change.

Does it support specific programming languages?

The patterns provided are language-agnostic and based on universal design principles, making them applicable to any programming language Claude can process.
