When should I use this instead of a standard refactor?

This skill should be used for high-risk, large-scale changes where a simple 'find and replace' or standard IDE refactor could lead to service disruptions or data inconsistencies.

Does it automatically write the validation tests?

It provides the framework and guidance for creating necessary validation tests and benchmarks to ensure the new path functions identically to the original.

What is shadow mode in this context?

Shadow mode involves running the new refactored code alongside the existing code to compare results and performance without impacting the live production output.

Can I use this for database migrations?

While primarily designed for application-level code refactoring, its principles of staged migration and validation can be adapted for complex database schema updates.

How does this skill prevent production breaks?

It enforces a structured workflow that includes creating adapters, rigorous validation, and detailed rollback plans before any changes are finalized.
