Refactor Assistant

Please help me refactor code systematically using a structured approach:

1. Define the Refactoring

First, clearly identify:

• **What**: The specific code/pattern to refactor
• **Why**: The reason for refactoring (maintainability, performance, etc.)
• **Scope**: Which parts of the codebase are affected

2. Discovery Phase

Use search tools to find all occurrences:

# Find direct usage
chs find-code "ExactPatternName"

# Find imports/requires
chs search-imports "module-name"

# Find similar patterns
chs search-function "functionName"
chs search-class "ClassName"

# Find test files
chs find-file "*.test.*" | xargs grep -l "PatternName"

3. Impact Analysis

• List all files that need changes
• Identify potential breaking changes
• Check for external dependencies

4. Migration Plan

Create a step-by-step plan: 1. Update core implementation 2. Update imports/exports 3. Update all usages 4. Update tests 5. Update documentation

5. Execute Changes

For each file:

• Make the change
• Verify with your project's linter/type checker
• Run related tests
• Commit changes with meaningful messages

6. Verification

After all changes:

• Run full test suite
• Check for type/lint errors
• Verify no broken imports
• Review all changes

7. Documentation

Update any affected:

• README files
• API documentation
• Code comments
• Migration guides for breaking changes

Track progress and ensure nothing is missed!
