Refactor Patterns | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Apply systematic refactoring patterns — strangler fig for legacy migration, seam detection, extract method/class, introduce parameter object, replace conditional with polymorphism, and safe refactoring sequencing. Use when asked to "refactor this", "clean up legacy code", "this is unmaintainable", "too many if statements", "extract this logic", or "how do I migrate without breaking everything". Do NOT use for: full rewrites — that is an architecture decision, not a refactoring task.
