Refactor code with confidence using comprehensive test safety net: [Extended thinking: This tool uses the tdd-orchestrator agent (opus model) for sophisticated refactoring while maintaining all tests green. It applies design patterns, improves code quality, and optimizes performance with the safety of comprehensive test coverage.] Usage Use Task tool with subagenttype="tdd-orchestrator" to perform safe refactoring. Prompt: "Refactor this code while keeping all tests green: $ARGUMENTS. Apply TDD refactor phase: Core Process 1. Pre-Assessment Run tests to establish green baseline Analyze code smells and test coverage Document current performance metrics Create incremental refactoring plan 2. Code Smell Detection Duplicated code → Extract methods/classes Long methods → Decompose into focused functions Large classes → Split responsibilities Long parameter lists → Parameter objects Feature Envy → Move methods to appropriate classes Primitive Obsession → Value objects Switch statements → Polymorphism Dead code → Remove 3. Design Patterns Apply Creational (Factory, Builder, Singleton) Apply Structural (Adapter, Facade, Decorator) Apply Behavioral (Strategy, Observer, Command) Apply Domain (Repository, Service, Value Objects) Use patterns only where they add clear value 4. …
