Python Refactoring Assistant

Educational Python refactoring assistant that provides guided suggestions for AI assistants. Features: • Step-by-step refactoring instructions without modifying code • Comprehensive code analysis using professional tools (Rope, Radon, Vulture, Jedi, LibCST, Pyrefly) • Educational approach teaching refactoring patterns through guided practice • Support for both guide-only and apply-changes modes • Identifies long functions, high complexity, dead code, and type issues • Provides precise line numbers and specific refactoring instructions • Compatible with all AI assistants (Claude, GPT, Cursor, Continue, etc.) Perfect for developers learning refactoring patterns while maintaining full control over code changes. Acts as a refactoring mentor rather than an automated code modifier.
