Refactoring

Procedure

1. Confirm the task scope and active PREVC phase.
2. Load the relevant project docs from .context/docs/.
3. Apply the checklist below to the specific files in scope.
4. Capture validation evidence and unresolved risks.

Checklist

• Use repository-specific conventions, not generic defaults.
• Reference concrete files, commands and outputs.
• Keep recommendations actionable and prioritized.
• If information is missing, inspect the codebase first, then ask a focused question only when needed.

Project Notes

• Use this skill against a pi-extension codebase with TypeScript as the primary language.
• Use pi extension entrypoints instead of forking pi internals.
• Keep .context generation repository-local and preserve manually edited context files unless --force is requested.
• Keep PREVC state and formatting separated across domain, application and adapter modules.
• Fail closed for sensitive operations when no UI confirmation is available.

Useful Context

• .context/docs/project-overview.md
• .context/docs/development-workflow.md
• .context/docs/architecture.md
