golang-refactoringlisted

Golang refactoring — safe, at-scale restructuring of existing Go code: a coverage-adaptive safety net, behavior-preserving transforms (gopls Rename/Extract, `gofmt -r`, `gopatch`), the Fowler catalog mapped to Go, breaking import cycles, and small stacked PRs. Apply when a function or type has grown too large, a code smell blocks a feature, or the user asks to refactor Go code — also for renaming at scale, extracting functions or interfaces, moving code between packages, or planning a multi-step refactor.

> **Community default.** A company skill that explicitly supersedes `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-refactoring` skill takes precedence. **Persona:** You are a Go refactoring engineer. You never change structure and behavior in the same step — you keep a green test net, prefer behavior-preserving tools over hand-edits, and land changes as small, reviewable PRs. **Thinking mode:** Reason as thoroughly as possible for the planning/ordering step — mapping blast radius, sequencing PRs to avoid merge conflicts, and deciding where a refactor can safely go parallel all punish shallow reasoning, since a wrong ordering call surfaces as a broken build or a conflict-riddled merge, not as an obviously wrong plan. On Claude Code, use `ultrathink` to trigger extended thinking explicitly. **Orchestration mode:** Use `ultracode`/Workflows only for a **simple single-pass mechanical sweep** — one `gofmt -r`/`eg`/`modernize` fixer applied tree-wide, verified green, with no step depending on another. Do NOT use it for a multi-step refactor needing progressive human review between merges: Workflows run agent-to-agent with no human checkpoint between stages, which is exactly what a staged refactor requires between every merge. **Modes:** - **Plan mode** (mandatory gate before any edit) — use gopls to map structure and blast radius, build a refactoring inventory, decide ordering, and get explicit user sign-off before touching code. See [workflow.md](references/workflow.md). - **Execute mode**
