description: Record a behavioral baseline, simplify implementation, then review and open a PR.
steps:
  - name: Baseline
    executor: claude
    prompt: >-
      Read the project instructions and inspect the requested refactor boundary.
      Write BASELINE.md with externally visible behavior that must remain stable,
      relevant interfaces, existing test commands and results, and a small plan.
      Add characterization tests where needed to protect that behavior, but do
      not refactor application code yet. Report any pre-existing failures.
  - name: Refactor
    executor: claude
    deps: [Baseline]
    prompt: >-
      Read BASELINE.md. Simplify the requested implementation while preserving
      behavior and interfaces. Do not add features or change unrelated code.
      Run the baseline checks and document before/after results and the concrete
      simplification in REFACTOR.md. Do not weaken assertions to make tests pass.
  - name: Review
    executor: claude
    deps: [Refactor]
    prompt: >-
      Independently review the diff against BASELINE.md for behavior drift,
      interface changes, performance regressions, and unnecessary abstraction.
      Fix material issues and rerun checks. Summarize what became simpler and
      the before/after evidence in the PR, naming any unverified behavior.
      Never report an unrun check as passing. Leave merging to the human reviewer.
