Plugin Refactoring Workflow

Start a comprehensive plugin refactoring workflow for the specified plugin.

Arguments

• <plugin_path/>: Path to the plugin directory to refactor (e.g., ./plugins/python-engineering)

Workflow Overview

This command orchestrates the complete refactoring workflow:

1. Assessment - Analyze plugin structure and identify issues
2. Design - Create refactoring design specification
3. Planning - Generate task file with dependencies
4. Execution - Run tasks via specialized agents
5. Validation - Verify refactoring quality

Instructions

Step 1: Validate Input

If no plugin path provided:

ERROR: No plugin path provided.
Usage: /plugin-creator:refactor <plugin-path>
Example: /plugin-creator:refactor ./plugins/python-engineering

Step 2: Verify Plugin Exists

Check that the path contains a valid plugin:

• .claude-plugin/plugin.json exists
• OR skills/ directory exists

Step 3: Run Assessment

Invoke the assessor skill to analyze the plugin:

/plugin-creator:assessor <plugin_path/>

This generates:

• Plugin Assessment Report
• Refactoring Design Map at .plugin-creator/plans/refactor-design-{slug}.md
• Task File at .plugin-creator/plans/tasks-refactor-{slug}.md

Step 4: Review Plan

After assessment completes, display:

================================================================================
                    REFACTORING PLAN READY FOR REVIEW
================================================================================

Plugin: <plugin_path/>
Assessment Score: [X/100]

Plan Files Created:
- Design: .plugin-creator/plans/refactor-design-{slug}.md
- Tasks: .plugin-creator/plans/tasks-refactor-{slug}.md

Tasks Summary:
- Total tasks: [N]
- Skill splits: [N]
- Agent optimizations: [N]
- Documentation improvements: [N]

Next Steps:
1. Review the plan files
2. Run `/plugin-creator:implement-refactor {slug}` to execute
================================================================================

Step 5: Await User Decision

Ask user:

• Continue: Proceed to implementation
• Review: Open plan files for review
• Abort: Cancel refactoring

• /plugin-creator:ensure-complete - Validate completed refactoring
• /plugin-creator:count-lines - Quick line count check
