What it does
AI DevKit · Systematic structural or multi-file refactors across any stack while preserving behavior and public contracts. Use for reorganizing modules, boundaries, naming, APIs/contracts, staged refactor plans, or refactor risk review.
Refactor
Use for structural refactors. Use dev-simplify for local readability, dead code, or small logic cleanup.
Rules
- Preserve behavior and public contracts unless changes are explicit.
- Classify first: small = local/no public movement; medium = multi-file/extraction/boundary/export touch; large = package/cross-package/staged migration/broad consumers.
- For medium/large refactors, write a brief before editing: evidence, pressure, remaining delta, do/defer/avoid ranking, non-goals, contracts, target shape, validation, compatibility.
- Do not propose target trees without current-code evidence: tree, file size/mixed concerns, imports/exports, consumers, validation commands.
- Separate moves/renames from logic changes and design/API behavior questions.
- Prefer existing conventions, provider locality, and the smallest structure that solves observed pressure.
- Subtract before adding: remove dead wrappers, redundant validators, stale exports, and unused paths before introducing new structure.
- Avoid taste refactors, premature abstractions, and thin one-file directories unless staged or conventional.
- Validate with fresh command output.
