-# Refactor Q&A Checklist
-
-**Purpose**: Structured questionnaire for planning code refactors to avoid scope creep and ensure clarity.
-
-**Status**: MANDATORY - Complete before creating refactor plan.
-
-## Refactor Goals & Scope
-
-- [ ] **Primary goal clearly stated**:
-  - Performance improvement? (which metrics?)
-  - Code quality/readability?
-  - Architecture simplification?
-  - Tech debt reduction?
-  - Preparation for new feature?
-  - Remove deprecated code?
-
-- [ ] **Scope boundaries defined**:
-  - Exactly which modules/files are in scope?
-  - What is explicitly NOT being refactored?
-  - Why these boundaries?
-
-- [ ] **Success Criteria measurable**:
-  - Performance: specific metrics (latency, memory, throughput)?
-  - Quality: complexity reduction targets?
-  - Lines of code reduction targets?
-  - Test coverage maintained/improved?
-
-## Impact Assessment
-
-- [ ] **Risk Level assessed**:
-  - Low risk (isolated, well-tested)?
-  - Medium risk (touches multiple areas)?
-  - High risk (core/critical system)?
-
-- [ ] **Affected Systems identified**:
-  - Which modules/components use this code?
-  - Public APIs that might change?
-  - Dependent code that needs updates?
-  - Cross-team dependencies?
-
-- [ ] **Breaking Changes evaluated**:
-  - Does this change public API?
-  - Will clients need updates?
-  - Backward compatibility strategy?
-  - Deprecation path if needed?
-
-- [ ] **Data/State Concerns**:
-  - Does this handle state/persistence?
-  - Migration strategy if data format changes?
-  - Existing data compatibility?
-
-## Technical Approach
-
-- [ ] **Refactor Strategy decided**:
-  - Big bang replacement or incremental?
-  - Parallel implementation then cut over?
-  - Feature flag strategy?
-  - Gradual migration approach?
-
-- [ ] **Alternatives considered**:
-  - Why this approach over others?
-  - Tradeoffs understood?
-  - Reversibility of changes?
-
-- [ ] **Dependencies researched**:
-  - Library/framework upgrades needed?
-  - New patterns or tools to learn?
-  - Compatibility concerns?
-
-## Testing & Verification
-
-- [ ] **Test Coverage analyzed**:
-  - Current coverage percentage?
-  - Coverage targets after refactor?
-  - Tests to add during refactor?
-
-- [ ] **Regression Testing planned**:
-  - Which tests must pass?
-  - Integration test scenarios?
-  - Performance benchmarks to run?
-  - Smoke tests for quick validation?
-
-- [ ] **Manual Testing scenarios**:
-  - Key user flows to validate?
-  - Edge cases to verify?
-  - Environment-specific tests (prod-like)?
-
-## Performance & Quality Metrics
-
-- [ ] **Current metrics captured**:
-  - Baseline performance measured?
-  - Code quality metrics (complexity, duplication)?
-  - Build time benchmarks?
-
-- [ ] **Target metrics defined**:
-  - Expected performance improvement %?
-  - Complexity reduction targets?
-  - Build time targets?
-
-- [ ] **Monitoring plan**:
-  - How will we track post-refactor metrics?
-  - Alerts for regressions?
-  - A/B testing if applicable?
-
-## Timeline & Effort
-
-- [ ] **Effort estimated**:
-  - Estimated hours/days?
-  - Complexity assessment?
-  - Blocking dependencies?
-
-- [ ] **Schedule considered**:
-  - Can this be done incrementally?
-  - Best time in release cycle?
-  - Sprint capacity available?
-
-- [ ] **Rollback plan**:
-  - How long to rollback if needed?
-  - Can we run A/B test?
-  - Version compatibility concerns?
-
-## Stakeholder Alignment
-
-- [ ] **Team consensus**:
-  - Tech lead approved?
-  - Code owners agree this is needed?
-  - Architecture team aligned?
-
-- [ ] **Priority confirmed**:
-  - Product owner informed?
-  - This won't block feature work?
-  - Business case documented?
-
-- [ ] **Knowledge sharing**:
-  - Team trained on new patterns?
-  - Documentation updated?
-  - Code review guidelines updated?
-
-## Documentation & Communication
-
-- [ ] **Refactor Plan documented**:
-  - Current state architecture?
-  - Target state architecture?
-  - Migration path clearly described?
-
-- [ ] **Design Decision recorded**:
-  - ADR created explaining refactor?
-  - Links to discussions/research?
-  - Why-decisions documented?
-
-- [ ] **Communication plan**:
-  - Stakeholders notified?
-  - Progress updates planned?
-  - Release notes prepared?
-
-## Code Quality Standards
-
-- [ ] **Code Quality Checklist**:
-  - Follows team conventions?
-  - No hardcoded values?
-  - Proper error handling?
-  - Comprehensive logging?
-  - Immutable patterns used?
-
-- [ ] **Security considerations**:
-  - No security regressions?
-  - Secrets handling correct?
-  - Access control maintained?
-
-- [ ] **Performance considerations**:
-  - Efficiency improvements realized?
-  - No performance regressions?
-  - Caching used appropriately?

-
-## Usage
-
-Use this checklist **before** calling `/plan refactor`:
-
-```
-1. Read this checklist completely
-2. Answer all questions
-3. Get stakeholder alignment on scope
-4. Capture current metrics
-5. Define success criteria
-6. Create implementation plan
-7. Execute incrementally with verification
-```
-
-## Pre-Refactor Checklist
-
-Before starting actual refactoring:
-- [ ] All tests passing in current state?
-- [ ] Current metrics captured/documented?
-- [ ] Feature branch created?
-- [ ] Notification sent to team?
-- [ ] Rollback plan documented and tested?
-
-## Refactor Type
-
-Choose one:
-- [ ] Performance optimization
-- [ ] Code quality improvement
-- [ ] Architecture simplification
-- [ ] Tech debt reduction
-- [ ] Pattern standardization
-- [ ] Library/framework upgrade
-- [ ] Other: _specify_
