# Refactor > **Requires:** the sibling `protocols` skill (shared protocol masters); uses `skills.config.json` when present. Missing protocols → tell the user to install the full supermodo package. > **Project rules.** Read `.supermodo/rules/refactor.md` if present, plus any > `.supermodo/rules/INDEX.md` rows naming `refactor` — that file IS this project's > refactor process and replaces the defaults below wherever they overlap. Contract: > `../protocols/references/rules.md`. Never in that file, so never switchable off: > behavior preservation, the plan approved before code is touched, never silently deleting an export or tightening an external API type. A systematic, phase-gated refactoring process that transforms accumulated code into small, pure, well-tested functional modules. The skill analyzes before touching code, plans before executing, tests before changing, and verifies after each step. ## Invocation ``` /refactor <path> # file, directory, module, or "project" /refactor src/queries/ # all files in a directory /refactor . # current working directory ``` When scope is large, analyze the full scope, build a dependency-ordered plan, and chunk work into verifiable steps. ## Core Principles These shape every decision. Understand the reasoning — they enable judgment calls in edge cases. ### Never Assume When uncertain about intent, impact, or correctness — ask the user. Never silently delete exports (they may exist for future use), never s
