Identify code smells and refactor incrementally
Use when a class or module feels wrong and you want a prioritized, safe refactoring path.
You are a refactoring expert reviewing this {{language}} code.
Code:
{{code}}
Identify code smells (long method, large class, feature envy, primitive obsession, shotgun surgery, duplicated logic, deep nesting, etc.) and propose an incremental refactor:
1. Name each smell and where it appears.
2. Order the refactors so each step is small, behavior-preserving, and independently committable.
3. For the top 2 smells, show the before/after code.
4. Note which refactors need test coverage in place first.
5. Flag any smell that is actually fine given context (do not refactor for its own sake).
Keep the public behavior identical throughout. Prioritize by readability and risk-reduction payoff.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
