Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to tdd workflows tdd refactor
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
Refactor code with confidence using comprehensive test safety net:
[Extended thinking: This tool uses the tdd-orchestrator agent (opus model) for sophisticated refactoring while maintaining all tests green. It applies design patterns, improves code quality, and optimizes performance with the safety of comprehensive test coverage.]
Usage
Use Task tool with subagent_type="tdd-orchestrator" to perform safe refactoring.
Prompt: "Refactor this code while keeping all tests green: $ARGUMENTS. Apply TDD refactor phase:
Core Process
1. Pre-Assessment
- Run tests to establish green baseline
- Analyze code smells and test coverage
- Document current performance metrics
- Create incremental refactoring plan
2. Code Smell Detection
- Duplicated code → Extract methods/classes
- Long methods → Decompose into focused functions
- Large classes → Split responsibilities
- Long parameter lists → Parameter objects
- Feature Envy → Move methods to appropriate classes
- Primitive Obsession → Value objects
- Switch statements → Polymorphism
- Dead code → Remove
3. Design Patterns
- Apply Creational (Factory, Builder, Singleton)
- Apply Structural (Adapter, Facade, Decorator)
- Apply Behavioral (Strategy, Observer, Command)
- Apply Domain (Repository, Service, Value Objects)
- Use patterns only where they add clear value
