Refactor

Improve code structure without changing external behavior.

Process

Understand — Read all related code, run existing tests
Plan — Identify what to change and why
Execute — Make changes incrementally
Verify — Run tests after each change

Common Refactoring Patterns

Extract

Long function → smaller focused functions
Repeated code → shared helper
Magic numbers → named constants

Simplify

Deep nesting → early returns / guard clauses
Complex conditionals → descriptive functions
Large classes → smaller focused classes

Rename

Unclear names → descriptive names
Inconsistent naming → consistent conventions

Reorganize

Related functions scattered → grouped in modules
Circular dependencies → dependency inversion

Rules

Never change behavior — tests must pass before and after
One refactoring type per commit
If tests don't exist, write them first
Don't refactor and add features in the same change
