Code Refactoring Orchestrator FAQs

Question 1

What is the difference between Standard and Agent Team modes?

Accepted Answer

Standard mode uses parallel subagents for quick analysis of local code, while Agent Team mode creates a persistent team of analysts recommended for refactoring 5+ files or large, interconnected modules.

Question 2

How does the skill guarantee code safety?

Accepted Answer

It establishes a test baseline before making any changes and runs your test suite after every individual refactoring step. If a test fails, it immediately reverts the change using git.

Question 3

Will this skill change my application's behavior?

Accepted Answer

No. The Refactor skill is strictly designed to improve internal code structure and readability while preserving all external behavior, public API contracts, and business logic results.

Question 4

Can I use this on code without unit tests?

Accepted Answer

The skill will identify coverage gaps and ask for user approval before proceeding. It is highly recommended to have a test suite in place so the orchestrator can verify behavior preservation.

Question 5

What specific code improvements does it perform?

Accepted Answer

It targets nested ternaries, magic numbers, obscure abbreviations, code duplication, and overly complex one-liners, turning them into descriptive, multi-line, and maintainable code.
