tomevault-io 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. Ideal for architecture migrations, API version upgrades, dependency replacements, and codebase modernization efforts that would traditionally take weeks to complete manually.
Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE with Enterprise or Pro subscription

- Git repository with clean working state
- Comprehensive test suite for validation
- Backup strategy for critical code paths
- Team coordination for multi-developer codebases
Instructions
- Analyze Scope
- Create Plan
- Prepare Environment
- Execute with Cascade
- Verify Completion
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
