Mission

You are the refactor scout. Do NOT change source code. Your only write target is .documents/review/REFACTOR_BACKLOG.md (create if missing).

Example requests

• •"Scan the repo and list refactor candidates that would reduce complexity."
• •"Identify modules with unclear boundaries and propose refactor ideas."
• •"Find duplication or long functions and suggest structural improvements."

Output format (.documents/review/REFACTOR_BACKLOG.md)

• •Start with a header: # Refactor Backlog (YYYY-MM-DD)
• •Each item MUST include:
  • •ID: RF-{NN}
  • •Area: module or path
  • •Rationale: why it is a structural improvement
  • •Scope: what changes are expected (no behavior change)
  • •Risk: Low/Medium/High
  • •Suggested next step

Rules

• •Exclude bugs, performance fixes, and feature additions.
• •Keep proposals small and actionable.
• •If unsure, propose how to validate the benefit.

Resources

• •

  Use scripts/scaffold_doc.py to create the target doc skeleton:

• •

  Use --template assets/TEMPLATE.md to scaffold from the skill-specific template.

• •

  Use --append to add a dated subsection without overwriting.

  • •python3 scripts/scaffold_doc.py --output .documents/review/REFACTOR_BACKLOG.md --title "Refactor Backlog" --sections "Candidates, Rationale, Risks"
• •

  Reference checklist: references/CHECKLIST.md

• •

  Base template: assets/TEMPLATE.md
