Request Refactor Plan
The request-refactor-plan skill guides developers through a structured interview process to create detailed, incremental refactoring plans and files them as GitHub issues. It's designed for developers planning major code refactors, RFCs, or breaking large changes into safe, reviewable steps. The skill solves the problem of refactoring safely by breaking work into tiny commits that keep the codebase working at each step, while documenting decisions, scope, and testing strategies.
