How does it ensure the refactoring process is safe?

The skill follows the 'Golden Rule' of refactoring: making small, incremental changes backed by existing tests and constant validation to prevent regressions.

Which programming languages does the Refactoring Advisor support?

The advisor uses language-agnostic design patterns, making it effective for any major programming language including JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, and Ruby.

Does this skill automatically refactor my code?

No, it acts as an advisor by analyzing your code and providing a detailed strategy and step-by-step instructions for you to implement safely.

What is the Refactoring Advisor skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that provides structured guidance on improving existing code through proven refactoring patterns and incremental planning.

Can it help with large-scale architectural debt?

Yes, it includes strategies for high-risk problems like 'God Classes' and 'Long Parameter Lists,' helping you transition to more modular and testable architectures.

Generates structured refactoring recommendations and incremental execution plans to reduce technical debt and improve code maintainability.

소개

The Refactoring Advisor is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to help developers systematically improve their codebase. It analyzes existing logic for common 'code smells'—such as long methods or god classes—and suggests proven design patterns to resolve them. By generating detailed, step-by-step plans that prioritize safety and test coverage, it allows engineers to modernize legacy code and simplify complex logic without breaking existing functionality. This tool is essential for teams looking to maintain high-quality standards and streamline long-term software evolution.
