Code Refactoring Refactor Clean

When you've got legacy code that works but makes you wince every time you touch it, this skill walks through the refactoring systematically. It identifies code smells and dependency tangles, then proposes incremental changes that won't blow up your app. The emphasis on keeping diffs reviewable and behavior stable is smart, since big bang refactors are where things usually go sideways. It applies SOLID principles and clean code patterns without over-engineering, and includes a verification step to catch regressions. Best for medium to large refactoring efforts where you need a structured approach, not quick cosmetic fixes.
