# Refactoring Patterns Measure before. Refactor. Measure after. Keep only if it improved. ## When to Activate - When the user says "refactor", "clean up", "simplify", "this code is messy" - When code has high complexity, deep nesting, or large functions - When extracting, renaming, or restructuring across multiple files - When consolidating duplicated code ## Process Read `skills/refactoring-process.md` for the measure-refactor-measure workflow, extraction patterns, and bulk refactoring mode. ## Behavioral Rules Read `guidelines.md` for measurement requirements, revert criteria, and scope limits.
