+ description: Orchestrate a behavior-preserving refactor — confirm tests are green, restructure without changing behavior, keep tests green, review, and gated commit. Use when the structure should improve but behavior must not change.

+ # orch-refine-code
9
+
10
+ Actor · action · target: **orch · refine · code**. Thin wrapper over the shared
11
+ engine in [`orch-pipeline`](../orch-pipeline/SKILL.md).
12
+
13
+ ## When to Use
14
+
15
+ - Same behavior, **better structure**: extract modules, remove duplication, kill
16
+ dead code, reduce nesting, rename for clarity.
17
+ - Distinguish from siblings: if behavior is meant to change at all, this is the
18
+ wrong skill (`orch-change-feature` / `orch-fix-defect`).
19
+
20
+ ## Operation settings
21
+
22
+ - **Default size floor:** standard — restructures touch multiple files.
23
+ - **Phase mask:** 0 → 2 (plan the restructure) → 4 (keep green) → 5 → 6. No new
24
+ behavior tests are written — the existing suite is the safety net.
25
+ - **First move (phase 4):** confirm the relevant tests exist and are **green
26
+ before** touching code; if coverage is thin, add characterization tests first.
27
+ Then restructure in small steps, re-running tests after each.
28
+
29
+ ## How It Works
30
+
31
+ 1. Run the `orch-pipeline` engine with the settings above.
32
+ 2. For dead-code / duplication sweeps, delegate to the `refactor-cleaner` agent
33
+ (it runs knip / depcheck / ts-prune and removes safely).
34
+ 3. Stop at **Gate 1** (restructure plan) and **Gate 2** (pre-commit).
35
+ 4. Commit as `refactor:` — the diff must be behavior-neutral.
36
+
37
+ ## Example
38
+
39
+ ```
40
+ orch-refine-code: extract the NWS HTTP client out of poller.py
41
+ → confirm tests green → plan extraction [GATE 1: approve]
42
+ → move in small steps, tests green throughout → code-review
43
+ → commit refactor: [GATE 2: confirm]
44
+ ```

+ deploy readbacks, or multi-worktree implementation passes.
15
+
16
+ ## Core Pattern
17
+
18
+ Turn urgency into a dependency graph before acting.
19
+
20
+ 1. Define the objective and done signal.
21
+ 2. Split work into lanes.
22
+ 3. Mark each lane as parallel, sequential, or gated.
23
+ 4. Run independent reads/checks together.
24
+ 5. Keep writes isolated by file, worktree, branch, service, or dataset.
25
+ 6. Merge only after evidence shows the lanes are compatible.
26
+ 7. End with a verification table, not a vague speed claim.
27
+
28
+ ## Lane Matrix
29
+
30
+ Before a large push, write a compact matrix:
31
+
32
+ ```text
33
+ Lane | Can run in parallel? | Write surface | Risk | Verification
34
+ Repo scan | yes | none | low | rg/git status outputs
35
+ Backend patch | maybe | src/api | medium | unit tests
36
+ Frontend patch | maybe | app/components | medium | browser screenshot
37
+ Deploy readback | after build | remote service | high | live URL + logs
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ Only run lanes in parallel when their write surfaces do not collide.
41
+
42
+ ## Execution Rules
43
+
44
+ - Batch file reads, searches, status checks, and metadata queries.
45
+ - Use isolated worktrees for large unrelated implementation lanes.
46
+ - Start long-running tests, builds, backfills, and deploys in separate sessions,
47
+ then poll them deliberately.
48
+ - If a lane discovers a blocker that changes the plan, pause dependent lanes
49
+ and update the matrix.
50
+ - Never let a background process outlive the turn unless the user explicitly
51
+ asked for a continuing service.
52
+ - Do not parallelize destructive commands, migrations, writes to the same table,
53
+ or live customer-impacting deploys without an explicit gate.
54
+
55
+ ## Output Shape
56
+
57
+ Use this when reporting:
58
+
59
+ ```text
60
+ Parallel execution result:
61
+ - Lanes run: 5
62
+ - Lanes completed: 4
63
+ - Blocked lane: deploy readback, waiting on DNS propagation
64
+ - Fast path found: batched repo scan + focused tests
65
+ - Verification: lint pass, unit pass, live smoke pass
66
+ ```
67
+
68
+ ## Failure Modes
69
+
70
+ - More concurrency that creates conflicting edits.
71
+ - Benchmarking the tool instead of the task.
72
+ - Treating "fast" as done before correctness is proven.
73
+ - Forgetting to poll running sessions.
74
+ - Hiding skipped checks behind a success summary.

9
+
10
+ Idiomatic Perl 5.36+ patterns and best practices for building robust, maintainable applications.
11
+
12
+ ## When to Activate
13
+
14
+ - Writing new Perl code or modules
15
+ - Reviewing Perl code for idiom compliance
16
+ - Refactoring legacy Perl to modern standards
17
+ - Designing Perl module architecture
18
+ - Migrating pre-5.36 code to modern Perl
19
+
20
+ ## How It Works
21
+
22
+ Apply these patterns as a bias toward modern Perl 5.36+ defaults: signatures, explicit modules, focused error handling, and testable boundaries. The examples below are meant to be copied as starting points, then tightened for the actual app, dependency stack, and deployment model in front of you.
23
+
24
+ ## Core Principles
25
+
26
+ ### 1. Use `v5.36` Pragma
27
+
28
+ A single `use v5.36` replaces the old boilerplate and enables strict, warnings, and subroutine signatures.
29
+
30
+ ```perl
31
+ # Good: Modern preamble
32
+ use v5.36;
33
+
34
+ sub greet($name) {
35
+ say "Hello, $name!";
36
+ }
37
+
38
+ # Bad: Legacy boilerplate
39
+ use strict;
40
+ use warnings;
41
+ use feature 'say', 'signatures';
42
+ no warnings 'experimental::signatures';
43
+
44
+ sub greet {
45
+ my ($name) = @_;
46
+ say "Hello, $name!";
47
+ }
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ ### 2. Subroutine Signatures
51
+
52
+ Use signatures for clarity and automatic arity checking.
53
+
54
+ ```perl
55
+ use v5.36;
56
+
57
+ # Good: Signatures with defaults
58
+ sub connect_db($host, $port = 5432, $timeout = 30) {
59
+ # $host is required, others have defaults
60
+ return DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:host=$host;port=$port", undef, undef, {
61
+ RaiseError => 1,
62
+ PrintError => 0,
63
+ });
64
+ }
65
+
66
+ # Good: Slurpy parameter for variable args
67
+ sub log_message($level, @details) {
68
+ say "[$level] " . join(' ', @details);
69
+ }
70
+
71
+ # Bad: Manual argument unpacking
72
+ sub connect_db {
73
+ my ($host, $port, $timeout) = @_;
74
+ $port //= 5432;
75
+ $timeout //= 30;
76
+ # ...
77
+ }
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ ### 3. Context Sensitivity
81
+
82
+ Understand scalar vs list context — a core Perl concept.
83
+
84
+ ```perl
85
+ use v5.36;
86
+
87
+ my @items = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
88
+
89
+ my @copy = @items; # List context: all elements
90
+ my $count = @items; # Scalar context: count (5)
91
+ say "Items: " . scalar @items; # Force scalar context
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ ### 4. Postfix Dereferencing
95
+
96
+ Use postfix dereference syntax for readability with nested structures.
97
+
98
+ ```perl
99
+ use v5.36;
100
+
101
+ my $data = {
102
+ users => [
103
+ { name => 'Alice', roles => ['admin', 'user'] },
104
+ { name => 'Bob', roles => ['user'] },
105
+ ],
106
+ };
107
+
108
+ # Good: Postfix dereferencing
109
+ my @users = $data->{users}->@*;
110
+ my @roles = $data->{users}[0]{roles}->@*;
111
+ my %first = $data->{users}[0]->%*;
112
+
113
+ # Bad: Circumfix dereferencing (harder to read in chains)
114
+ my @users = @{ $data->{users} };
115
+ my @roles = @{ $data->{users}[0]{roles} };
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ ### 5. The `isa` Operator (5.32+)
119
+
120
+ Infix type-check — replaces `blessed($o) && $o->isa('X')`.
121
+
122
+ ```perl
123
+ use v5.36;
124
+ if ($obj isa 'My::Class') { $obj->do_something }
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ ## Error Handling
128
+
129
+ ### eval/die Pattern
130
+
131
+ ```perl
132
+ use v5.36;
133
+
134
+ sub parse_config($path) {
135
+ my $content = eval { path($path)->slurp_utf8 };
136
+ die "Config error: $@" if $@;
137
+ return decode_json($content);
138
+ }
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ ### Try::Tiny (Reliable Exception Handling)
142
+
143
+ ```perl
144
+ use v5.36;
145
+ use Try::Tiny;
146
+
147
+ sub fetch_user($id) {
148
+ my $user = try {
149
+ $db->resultset('User')->find($id)
150
+ // die "User $id not found\n";
151
+ }
152
+ catch {
153
+ warn "Failed to fetch user $id: $_";
154
+ undef;
155
+ };
156
+ return $user;
157
+ }
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ ### Native try/catch (5.40+)
161
+
162
+ ```perl
163
+ use v5.40;
164
+
165
+ sub divide($x, $y) {
166
+ try {
167
+ die "Division by zero" if $y == 0;
168
+ return $x / $y;
169
+ }
170
+ catch ($e) {
171
+ warn "Error: $e";
172
+ return;
173
+ }
174
+ }
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ ## Modern OO with Moo
178
+
179
+ Prefer Moo for lightweight, modern OO. Use Moose only when its metaprotocol is needed.
180
+
181
+ ```perl
182
+ # Good: Moo class
183
+ package User;
184
+ use Moo;
185
+ use Types::Standard qw(Str Int ArrayRef);
186
+ use namespace::autoclean;
187
+
188
+ has name => (is => 'ro', isa => Str, required => 1);
189
+ has email => (is => 'ro', isa => Str, required => 1);
190
+ has age => (is => 'ro', isa => Int, default => sub { 0 });
191
+ has roles => (is => 'ro', isa => ArrayRef[Str], default => sub { [] });
192
+
193
+ sub is_admin($self) {
194
+ return grep { $_ eq 'admin' } $self->roles->@*;
195
+ }
196
+
197
+ sub greet($self) {
198
+ return "Hello, I'm " . $self->name;
199
+ }
200
+
201
+ 1;
202
+
203
+ # Usage
204
+ my $user = User->new(
205
+ name => 'Alice',
206
+ email => 'alice@example.com',
207
+ roles => ['admin', 'user'],
208
+ );
209
+
210
+ # Bad: Blessed hashref (no validation, no accessors)
211
+ package User;
212
+ sub new {
213
+ my ($class, %args) = @_;
214
+ return bless \%args, $class;
215
+ }
216
+ sub name { return $_[0]->{name} }
217
+ 1;
218
+ ```
219
+
220
+ ### Moo Roles
221
+
222
+ ```perl
223
+ package Role::Serializable;
224
+ use Moo::Role;
225
+ use JSON::MaybeXS qw(encode_json);
226
+ requires 'TO_HASH';
227
+ sub to_json($self) { encode_json($self->TO_HASH) }
228
+ 1;
229
+
230
+ package User;
231
+ use Moo;
232
+ with 'Role::Serializable';
233
+ has name => (is => 'ro', required => 1);
234
+ has email => (is => 'ro', required => 1);
235
+ sub TO_HASH($self) { { name => $self->name, email => $self->email } }
236
+ 1;
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ ### Native `class` Keyword (5.38+, Corinna)
240
+
241
+ ```perl
242
+ use v5.38;
243
+ use feature 'class';
244
+ no warnings 'experimental::class';
245
+
246
+ class Point {
247
+ field $x :param;
248
+ field $y :param;
249
+ method magnitude() { sqrt($x**2 + $y**2) }
250
+ }
251
+
252
+ my $p = Point->new(x => 3, y => 4);
253
+ say $p->magnitude; # 5
254
+ ```
255
+
256
+ ## Regular Expressions
257
+
258
+ ### Named Captures and `/x` Flag
259
+
260
+ ```perl
261
+ use v5.36;
262
+
263
+ # Good: Named captures with /x for readability
264
+ my $log_re = qr{
265
+ ^ (?<timestamp> \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \s \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2} )
266
+ \s+ \[ (?<level> \w+ ) \]
267
+ \s+ (?<message> .+ ) $
268
+ }x;
269
+
270
+ if ($line =~ $log_re) {
271
+ say "Time: $+{timestamp}, Level: $+{level}";
272
+ say "Message: $+{message}";
273
+ }
274
+
275
+ # Bad: Positional captures (hard to maintain)
276
+ if ($line =~ /^(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})\s+\[(\w+)\]\s+(.+)$/) {
277
+ say "Time: $1, Level: $2";
278
+ }
279
+ ```
280
+
281
+ ### Precompiled Patterns
282
+
283
+ ```perl
284
+ use v5.36;
285
+
286
+ # Good: Compile once, use many
287
+ my $email_re = qr/^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}$/;
288
+
289
+ sub validate_emails(@emails) {
290
+ return grep { $_ =~ $email_re } @emails;
291
+ }
292
+ ```
293
+
294
+ ## Data Structures
295
+
296
+ ### References and Safe Deep Access
297
+
298
+ ```perl
299
+ use v5.36;
300
+
301
+ # Hash and array references
302
+ my $config = {
303
+ database => {
304
+ host => 'localhost',
305
+ port => 5432,
306
+ options => ['utf8', 'sslmode=require'],
307
+ },
308
+ };
309
+
310
+ # Safe deep access (returns undef if any level missing)
311
+ my $port = $config->{database}{port}; # 5432
312
+ my $missing = $config->{cache}{host}; # undef, no error
313
+
314
+ # Hash slices
315
+ my %subset;
316
+ @subset{qw(host port)} = @{$config->{database}}{qw(host port)};
317
+
318
+ # Array slices
319
+ my @first_two = $config->{database}{options}->@[0, 1];
320
+
321
+ # Multi-variable for loop (experimental in 5.36, stable in 5.40)
322
+ use feature 'for_list';
323
+ no warnings 'experimental::for_list';
324
+ for my ($key, $val) (%$config) {
325
+ say "$key => $val";
326
+ }
327
+ ```
328
+
329
+ ## File I/O
330
+
331
+ ### Three-Argument Open
332
+
333
+ ```perl
334
+ use v5.36;
335
+
336
+ # Good: Three-arg open with autodie (core module, eliminates 'or die')
337
+ use autodie;
338
+
339
+ sub read_file($path) {
340
+ open my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $path;
341
+ local $/;
342
+ my $content = <$fh>;
343
+ close $fh;
344
+ return $content;
345
+ }
346
+
347
+ # Bad: Two-arg open (shell injection risk, see perl-security)
348
+ open FH, $path; # NEVER do this
349
+ open FH, "< $path"; # Still bad — user data in mode string
350
+ ```
351
+
352
+ ### Path::Tiny for File Operations
353
+
354
+ ```perl
355
+ use v5.36;
356
+ use Path::Tiny;
357
+
358
+ my $file = path('config', 'app.json');
359
+ my $content = $file->slurp_utf8;
360
+ $file->spew_utf8($new_content);
361
+
362
+ # Iterate directory
363
+ for my $child (path('src')->children(qr/\.pl$/)) {
364
+ say $child->basename;
365
+ }
366
+ ```
367
+
368
+ ## Module Organization
369
+
370
+ ### Standard Project Layout
371
+
372
+ ```text

391
+ ### Exporter Patterns
392
+
393
+ ```perl
394
+ package MyApp::Util;
395
+ use v5.36;
396
+ use Exporter 'import';
397
+
398
+ our @EXPORT_OK = qw(trim);
399
+ our %EXPORT_TAGS = (all => \@EXPORT_OK);
400
+
401
+ sub trim($str) { $str =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//gr }
402
+
403
+ 1;
404
+ ```
405
+
406
+ ## Tooling
407
+
408
+ ### perltidy Configuration (.perltidyrc)
409
+
410
+ ```text
411
+ -i=4 # 4-space indent
412
+ -l=100 # 100-char line length
413
+ -ci=4 # continuation indent
414
+ -ce # cuddled else
415
+ -bar # opening brace on same line
416
+ -nolq # don't outdent long quoted strings
417
+ ```
418
+
419
+ ### perlcritic Configuration (.perlcriticrc)
420
+
421
+ ```ini
422
+ severity = 3
423
+ theme = core + pbp + security
424
+
425

+ [ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers]
433
+ allowed_values = 0 1 2 -1
434
+ ```
435
+
436
+ ### Dependency Management (cpanfile + carton)
437
+
438
+ ```bash
439
+ cpanm App::cpanminus Carton # Install tools
440
+ carton install # Install deps from cpanfile
441
+ carton exec -- perl bin/myapp # Run with local deps
442
+ ```
443
+
444
+ ```perl
445
+ # cpanfile
446
+ requires 'Moo', '>= 2.005';
447
+ requires 'Path::Tiny';
448
+ requires 'JSON::MaybeXS';
449
+ requires 'Try::Tiny';
450
+
451
+ on test => sub {
452
+ requires 'Test2::V0';
453
+ requires 'Test::MockModule';
454
+ };
455
+ ```
456
+
457
+ ## Quick Reference: Modern Perl Idioms
458
+
459
+ | Legacy Pattern | Modern Replacement |
460
+ |---|---|
461
+ | `use strict; use warnings;` | `use v5.36;` |
462
+ | `my ($x, $y) = @_;` | `sub foo($x, $y) { ... }` |
463
+ | `@{ $ref }` | `$ref->@*` |
464
+ | `%{ $ref }` | `$ref->%*` |
465
+ | `open FH, "< $file"` | `open my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $file` |
466
+ | `blessed hashref` | `Moo` class with types |
467
+ | `$1, $2, $3` | `$+{name}` (named captures) |
468
+ | `eval { }; if ($@)` | `Try::Tiny` or native `try/catch` (5.40+) |
469
+ | `BEGIN { require Exporter; }` | `use Exporter 'import';` |
470
+ | Manual file ops | `Path::Tiny` |
471
+ | `blessed($o) && $o->isa('X')` | `$o isa 'X'` (5.32+) |
472
+ | `builtin::true / false` | `use builtin 'true', 'false';` (5.36+, experimental) |
473
+
474
+ ## Anti-Patterns
475
+
476
+ ```perl
477
+ # 1. Two-arg open (security risk)
478
+ open FH, $filename; # NEVER
479
+
480
+ # 2. Indirect object syntax (ambiguous parsing)
481
+ my $obj = new Foo(bar => 1); # Bad
482
+ my $obj = Foo->new(bar => 1); # Good
483

+ # 3. Excessive reliance on $_
485
+ map { process($_) } grep { validate($_) } @items; # Hard to follow
486
+ my @valid = grep { validate($_) } @items; # Better: break it up
487
+ my @results = map { process($_) } @valid;

489
+ # 4. Disabling strict refs
490
+ no strict 'refs'; # Almost always wrong
491
+ ${"My::Package::$var"} = $value; # Use a hash instead
492
+
493
+ # 5. Global variables as configuration
494
+ our $TIMEOUT = 30; # Bad: mutable global
495
+ use constant TIMEOUT => 30; # Better: constant
496
+ # Best: Moo attribute with default
497
+
498
+ # 6. String eval for module loading
499
+ eval "require $module"; # Bad: code injection risk
500
+ eval "use $module"; # Bad
501
+ use Module::Runtime 'require_module'; # Good: safe module loading
502
+ require_module($module);
503
+ ```

+ **Remember**: Modern Perl is clean, readable, and safe. Let `use v5.36` handle the boilerplate, use Moo for objects, and prefer CPAN's battle-tested modules over hand-rolled solutions.
