SOLID Refactoring Assistant
Analyze code for SOLID violations and suggest targeted improvements.
Purpose
Identify refactoring opportunities based on:
- SOLID principle violations
- Code smells and anti-patterns
- Complexity metrics
- Duplication detection
Instructions
Step 1: Scope Analysis
Determine the refactoring scope from user input:
- Single file: Deep analysis
- Directory: Pattern detection across files
- Function/class: Focused extraction suggestions
bash# Get file/directory stats if [ -f "$TARGET" ]; then wc -l "$TARGET" echo "Single file analysis" elif [ -d "$TARGET" ]; then find "$TARGET" -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.py" \) | wc -l echo "Directory analysis" fi
Step 2: SOLID Violations Detection
S - Single Responsibility
Look for:
- Files > 300 lines
- Functions > 50 lines
- Classes with > 10 methods
- Mixed concerns (data + UI + business logic)
bash# Find large files find . -name "*.{ts,js,py}" -exec wc -l {} + 2>/dev/null | sort -rn | head -10 # Functions with high line count (approximate) grep -rn "function\|def \|fn " --include="*.{ts,js,py,rs}" . | head -20
O - Open/Closed Principle
Look for:
- Switch/case statements on types
- Repeated if/else type checking
- Direct modifications vs extensions
L - Liskov Substitution
Look for:
- Overridden methods that throw "not implemented"
- Type checks before method calls
- Empty method overrides
I - Interface Segregation
Look for:
- Large interfaces (> 10 methods)
- Classes implementing unused interface methods
- Fat service classes
D - Dependency Inversion
Look for:
- Direct instantiation of dependencies (
new Service()) - Hardcoded class references
- Missing dependency injection
Step 3: Code Smells
bash# Duplication patterns grep -rn --include="*.{ts,js,py}" . 2>/dev/null | \ awk -F: '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10 # Long parameter lists (> 4 params) grep -rn "function.*,.*,.*,.*," --include="*.{ts,js}" . 2>/dev/null | head -10 # Deep nesting (4+ levels) grep -rn "^\s\{16,\}" --include="*.{ts,js,py}" . 2>/dev/null | head -10
Step 4: Complexity Assessment
For each issue found, assess:
- Impact: How much code is affected?
- Risk: What could break?
- Effort: Lines to change, tests needed?

🔧 Refactoring Analysis
Target: [file/directory] Lines Analyzed: [count]
📊 SOLID Scorecard
| Principle | Status | Issues Found |
|---|---|---|
| Single Responsibility | 🟡 | 3 large classes |
| Open/Closed | 🟢 | OK |
| Liskov Substitution | 🟢 | OK |
| Interface Segregation | 🔴 | 2 fat interfaces |
| Dependency Inversion | 🟡 | 5 direct instantiations |
🎯 Priority Refactorings
1. [Highest Impact] - Extract class from UserService
Violation: Single Responsibility Current: 450 lines handling auth + profile + notifications Suggested:
UserService.ts (450 lines) ↓ Extract AuthService.ts (~150 lines) ProfileService.ts (~150 lines) NotificationService.ts (~100 lines)
Risk: Medium (update imports) Tests Needed: Update dependency injection in tests
2. [Second Priority] - Replace switch with polymorphism
Location: src/handlers/payment.ts:45
Current:
typescriptswitch (paymentType) { case 'card': // 50 lines case 'bank': // 50 lines case 'crypto': // 50 lines }
Suggested: Strategy pattern with PaymentProcessor interface
Risk: Low (isolated change)
📝 Code Smells
| Smell | Location | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Long Method | api.ts:calculateTotal (120 lines) | 🟠 High |
| Duplicate Code | utils/*.ts (3 similar blocks) | 🟡 Medium |
| Deep Nesting | parser.ts:parse (6 levels) | 🟡 Medium |
🚀 Quick Wins (Low Risk, High Value)
- Extract
validateEmail()to shared utils (used in 4 places) - Replace magic numbers with named constants
- Add early returns to reduce nesting in
processOrder()
⚠️ Technical Debt Notes
- [Item to track for future sprints]
Refactoring Safety Checklist
Before applying suggestions:
- Tests exist for affected code
- Create feature branch
- Commit current state
- Apply one refactoring at a time
- Run tests after each change
- Review diff before committing
Usage
Analyze specific file:
/refactor src/services/user.ts
Analyze directory:
/refactor src/api/
Focus on specific principle:
/refactor --focus=srp src/services/
With complexity threshold:
/refactor --threshold=high
