Refactor
BDK — Broneq Dev Kit. Reusable Claude Code workflows: skills, agents, and hooks for TDD, planning, code review, and architecture documentation.

Refactor
Relies on BDK foundation (STARTUP_INSTRUCTIONS.md) for project context and MCP tool preference.
For each <!-- INJECT: <name> --> marker below, run python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/inject-rules.py <name> and substitute its stdout in place of the marker before acting on it.
Complex refactor needed. Code messy, needs clean class separation.
Workflow:
- Architecture survey:
!python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/inject.py --chain ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/fragments/tool-tiers/explore.chain.json
Using the exploration tools above: understand current community structure, identify tightly-coupled communities, detect cross-cutting concerns, and identify dead code with refactor_tool(mode="dead_code") if graph is available.
2. Launch explorer subagent with architecture findings as context (not blind). For follow-up questions on the same exploration, prefer SendMessage(to: "<agentId>", ...) over re-spawning. See STARTUP "Continuing a Spawned Agent".
3. Propose OO architecture with well-separated classes — reference community boundaries, address surprising connections
4. Identify applicable design patterns and explain fit — see rules below
5. Create docs in .bdk/refactor/:
- Architecture overview
- Applicable patterns with rationale
- Implementation plan

Said here and by no other author read
- Run the injection script for each marker
- Explore current architecture using the specified tools
- Detect tightly-coupled communities and dead code
- Launch the explorer subagent with architecture findings
- Prefer messaging the existing agent over re-spawning
- Propose well-separated classes referencing community boundaries
Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once.
