Which programming languages and tools are supported?

It integrates with popular ecosystem tools including ast-grep, semgrep, eslint, prettier, and jscodeshift, making it highly effective for JavaScript, TypeScript, and other major languages.

Does it automatically update documentation?

As part of its core capabilities, the Refactoring Specialist ensures that documentation is updated to reflect the new, improved code structure.

Can this skill help with large-scale architectural migrations?

Yes, it is designed to handle complex transformations by breaking them into manageable, verifiable steps that improve maintainability without disrupting the production environment.

How does the Refactoring Specialist ensure code behavior isn't broken?

The skill utilizes a systematic, test-driven approach and AST-based transformation tools like ast-grep to ensure changes are purely structural and do not alter functional outcomes.
