lmiranda 7c8a20c804 refactor: extract skills from commands across 8 plugins
Refactored commands to extract reusable skills following the
Commands → Skills separation pattern. Each command is now <50 lines
and references skill files for detailed knowledge.

Plugins refactored:
- claude-config-maintainer: 5 commands → 7 skills
- code-sentinel: 3 commands → 2 skills
- contract-validator: 5 commands → 6 skills
- data-platform: 10 commands → 6 skills
- doc-guardian: 5 commands → 6 skills (replaced nested dir)
- git-flow: 8 commands → 7 skills

Skills contain: workflows, validation rules, conventions,
reference data, tool documentation

Commands now contain: YAML frontmatter, agent assignment,
skills list, brief workflow steps, parameters

Workflow for previewing changes safely before applying them

Dry Run Workflow Skill

Overview

Dry run mode analyzes code and shows proposed changes without modifying files. Essential for reviewing impact before committing to changes.

Opportunity Scoring

Rate each refactoring opportunity on three dimensions:

Impact Score (1-5)

Score Meaning Example
5 Major improvement Cyclomatic complexity 15 -> 3
4 Significant improvement Function 50 lines -> 15 lines
3 Moderate improvement Better naming, clearer structure
2 Minor improvement Code style modernization
1 Cosmetic only Formatting changes

Risk Score (1-5)

Score Meaning Example
5 Very high risk Changes to core business logic
4 High risk Modifies shared utilities
3 Moderate risk Changes function signatures
2 Low risk Internal implementation only
1 Minimal risk Pure functions, no side effects

Effort Score (1-5)

Score Meaning Example
5 Major effort Requires architecture changes
4 Significant effort Many files affected
3 Moderate effort Multiple related changes
2 Low effort Single file, clear scope
1 Trivial Automated transformation

Priority Calculation

Priority = (Impact * 2) - Risk - (Effort * 0.5)
Priority Range Recommendation
> 5 Recommended - do it
3-5 Optional - consider it
< 3 Skip - not worth it

Output Format

High impact, low risk opportunities:

1. **pattern-name** at file:lines
   - Description of the change
   - Impact: High/Medium/Low (specific metric improvement)
   - Risk: Low/Medium/High (why)
   - Run: `/refactor <target> --pattern=<pattern>`

Optional Section

Lower priority opportunities grouped by type.

Summary

  • Count of recommended vs optional
  • Estimated overall improvement percentage
  • Any blockers or dependencies

Dependency Detection

Before recommending changes, check for:

  1. Test Coverage - Does this code have tests?
  2. Usage Scope - Is it used elsewhere?
  3. Side Effects - Does it modify external state?
  4. Breaking Changes - Will it change public API?

Flag dependencies in output:

Note: This refactoring requires updating 3 callers:
  - src/api/handlers.py:45
  - src/cli/commands.py:78
  - tests/test_handlers.py:23

Safety Checklist

Before recommending any change:

  • All affected code locations identified
  • No breaking API changes without flag
  • Test coverage assessed
  • Side effects documented
  • Rollback path clear (git)
