Refactoring Suggester

Purpose and Intent

The refactoring-suggester teaches students and engineers how to evolve code. It doesn't just point out problems; it provides a recipe for how to fix them correctly.

When to Use

• Code Cleanup: Use when a codebase has become difficult to manage or "messy."
• Learning Exercises: Show students how to transform their working code into "clean" code.

When NOT to Use

• Performance Optimization: This tool focuses on maintainability, not necessarily on squeeze-every-cycle performance.

Security and Data-Handling Considerations

• Operates locally on provided source code.
