Documentation

README

Excerpt

ADVPL/TLPP Refactoring

This skill defines safe refactoring patterns (RF-001 through RF-006) for improving ADVPL/TLPP code structure without altering behavior: extract function, simplify conditionals with guard clauses, remove dead code, improve naming to Hungarian notation, eliminate duplication, and reduce function parameter count. It also defines the mandatory process -- analyze, prioritize, present a before/after plan, wait for user approval, apply one change at a time, verify -- and hard safety rules (never change business logic, never rename externally-used symbols without a caller check).

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
