maji-refactorlisted

Scope-guarded refactoring. Define target → identify minimum diff → preserve behaviour → verify with tests. Pre-Action Gate prevents scope drift into unrelated improvements. Use when you want a targeted refactor that does not turn into a 50-file rewrite.

# maji-refactor — Scope-Guarded Refactoring A skill that refactors code without sliding into "while I was there" syndrome. --- ## When to Use Type `maji-refactor <target>: <intent>` where: - target = file/function/module - intent = the specific refactor goal Examples: - `maji-refactor src/auth.ts: extract token logic into separate module` - `maji-refactor UserList component: switch from class to function with hooks` - `maji-refactor src/api/: consolidate duplicate fetch helpers` --- ## The Refactor Protocol ### Step 1 — Define Scope Write down explicitly: - **What changes:** [files / functions / modules] - **What stays the same:** [behaviour, public API, return shapes] - **Out of scope:** [adjacent improvements I'll resist] ### Step 2 — Identify Minimum Diff Find the smallest set of changes that achieves the intent. If diff exceeds expectation: - Re-question scope - Split into multiple refactors ### Step 3 — Pre-Action Gate Before writing the refactor: 1. Are tests covering the behaviour I'm preserving? 2. If not, write tests FIRST (so the refactor has a safety net). 3. Will my refactor change any public API? If yes, document the migration. 4. Are there callers I haven't checked? If yes, list them. ### Step 4 — Apply Diff - Touch only files in scope - Preserve naming where possible (rename only when necessary) - Keep diff readable in PR review ### Step 5 — Verify - Run tests — all pass - Diff is what was promised - No "while I was there" changes --- ##
