Code Refactoring Assistant
Analyze and refactor code with Cowork to improve code quality and maintainability
★★★ Advanced 20-30 min January 11, 2025
📋
Scenario
Code inevitably becomes bloated over time. Cowork can help you analyze code structure, identify issues, propose refactoring suggestions, and even rewrite the code directly for you.
💬
Prompt
Please help me analyze the code in the ~/Projects/myapp/src/ directory and find areas that need refactoring
✨
Expected Result
Claude will generate a detailed code analysis report including: - File overview (lines of code, number of functions, complexity assessment) - Issues found (duplicate code, overly long functions, inconsistent naming, etc.) - Refactoring priority recommendations - Specific refactoring proposals and code changes
💡
Tips
- • Ensure code is committed to Git before refactoring - work on a new branch
- • Have Claude preserve existing test cases or generate tests for new code
- • For large projects, refactor module by module gradually
