Windsurf Refactoring Large

Overview

This skill enables large-scale refactoring operations that span hundreds or thousands of files. It provides phased execution with checkpoints, comprehensive rollback capabilities, and AI-assisted planning.

Prerequisites

• Windsurf IDE with Enterprise or Pro subscription
• Active Cascade AI connection
• Git repository with clean working state
• Comprehensive test suite for validation
• Backup strategy for critical code paths
• Team coordination for multi-developer codebases

Instructions

1. Analyze Scope
2. Create Plan
3. Prepare Environment
4. Execute with Cascade
5. Verify Completion

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

• Refactored codebase with all patterns migrated
• Phase completion reports with metrics
• Before/after performance comparison
• Updated documentation and API references
• Archived rollback artifacts (kept 30 days)

Error Handling
