User: /refactor Extract the validation logic into a separate module
Claude: Starting /refactor workflow...
Phase 1: Analyzing current structure...
[Spawns phoenix]
Found: Validation logic spread across 4 files
- form.ts (lines 45-120)
- api.ts (lines 200-280)
- user.ts (lines 15-45)
- order.ts (lines 88-130)
Phase 2: Planning extraction...
[Spawns plan-agent]
Plan:
1. Create src/validation/index.ts
2. Extract common validators
3. Update imports one file at a time
4. Run tests after each change
Phase 3: Implementing...
[Spawns kraken]
Completed all 4 steps, tests green after each
Phase 4: Reviewing changes...
[Spawns plan-reviewer]
✅ All behavior preserved
✅ DRY improved (removed 45 duplicate lines)
✅ New structure consistent
Phase 5: Final validation...
[Spawns arbiter]
✅ 312 tests passing, 0 regressions
Refactoring complete!
--dry-run: Plan but don't implement--step-by-step: Pause after each change for approval--coverage-check: Require >80% coverage before proceeding
