Best for

  • Code review feedback focusing on SOLID principles violations
  • Refactoring legacy codebases with excessive technical debt
  • Teaching junior developers clean coding practices through examples
  • Improving function design and reducing cyclomatic complexity
  • Eliminating code smells like long parameter lists and god classes

What you'll get

  • Side-by-side code comparison showing Single Responsibility Principle violation fix with explanation of why each class now has one reason to change
  • Function refactoring example reducing parameters from 6 to 2 using configuration objects, with naming improvements and extracted helper methods
  • Dependency injection implementation replacing hard-coded dependencies with interfaces, showing improved testability and flexibility
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Language-specific syntax debugging or compilation errors
  • ×Performance optimization or algorithm complexity analysis
  • ×System architecture design or infrastructure decisions
  • ×Business logic validation or domain-specific requirements
Expects

Working code snippets or files that need clean code improvements with context about the codebase purpose.

Returns

Before/after code examples with specific SOLID principle applications and prioritized refactoring recommendations.
