Windsurf Refactoring Large
Overview
This skill enables large-scale refactoring operations that span hundreds or thousands of files. It provides phased execution with checkpoints, comprehensive rollback capabilities, and AI-assisted planning. Ideal for architecture migrations, API version upgrades, dependency replacements, and codebase modernization efforts that would traditionally take weeks to complete manually.
Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE with Enterprise or Pro subscription
