name	refactor-risk-assess
description	[Code Quality] Evaluates risk level of proposed refactoring changes. Use to assess dependencies, blast radius, rollback difficulty, and determine if changes are safe to proceed.

Refactor: Risk Assessment

Evaluate and mitigate risks before executing changes.

Risk Dimensions

1. Blast Radius

Level	Description	Example
LOW	Single file, private methods	Rename local variable
MEDIUM	Multiple files, internal APIs	Extract helper class
HIGH	Public APIs, many dependents	Change interface signature

2. Reversibility

Level	Description
LOW RISK	Git revert fixes everything
MEDIUM	Requires coordinated rollback
HIGH	Data migration, external deps

3. Test Coverage

Coverage	Risk Impact
> 80%	Safe to proceed
50-80%	Add tests first
< 50%	HIGH RISK

Go/No-Go Criteria

PROCEED if: Test coverage adequate, Blast radius understood, Rollback plan exists BLOCK if: Critical path no tests, Public API change without review
