name: code-refactoring description: Expert refactoring orchestrator for large-scale code changes with change tracking. Use when (1) renaming/moving files or directories, (2) restructuring database schemas, (3) refactoring APIs or Edge Functions, (4) splitting/merging components, (5) querying what changed in a system ("what critical changes were made to subscription system?"). Maintains changelog for docs-updater sync.
Code Refactoring Wizard
Orchestrate large-scale refactoring with change tracking. Uses code-wizard for discovery.
Context Files
For structure and conventions, read from Docs/context/:
-
Docs/context/conventions.md- Architecture rules, refactor guidelines -
Docs/context/repo-structure.md- Where to place files -
Docs/context/packages-map.md- Package boundaries
Changelog Location
All significant changes logged to: Docs/ai/CHANGELOG.md
This file is monitored by docs-updater skill for documentation sync.
Change Categories
| Category | Tag | Example |

Workflow
1. Discover (use code-wizard)
/code-wizard "find all usages of ai_plan_quotas table"
/code-wizard "where is subscription logic implemented"
2. Plan
- Current state → Target state
- Migration path
- Rollback strategy
- Affected files list
3. Execute
Order: Database → Backend → Frontend → Tests
4. Log to CHANGELOG.md
## 2026-01-08 - Subscription System Refactor
### [SCHEMA] Replace per-feature quotas with token pools
**Before:**
- `ai_plan_quotas` table (40+ rows)
- Per-feature token limits
**After:**
- `subscription_plans` table
- `token_pools` table
- `ai_operations` table
**Impact:**
- Files: 15 | Migration: Yes | Breaking: Yes
**Related:** #20260108_token_pool_system
5. Sync Docs
/docs-updater "sync changelog to API docs"
Query Changes
To answer "what changed in X system":
- Read
Docs/ai/CHANGELOG.md - Filter by date/category/system
- Summarize
Example response:
## Subscription System Changes (Jan 2026)
1. [SCHEMA] Token pool migration (Jan 8)
- Replaced ai_plan_quotas → unified token system
- 15 files, breaking
2. [API] New check_token_balance RPC (Jan 8)
- User token balance endpoint
- Non-breaking
