mechanical-refactor-verify

Verify file splits, function moves, module extractions, and renames by reproducing changes from a base commit and comparing files byte for byte. Generate repeatable proof scripts and reports that expose changes beyond relocation.

OriginalShow the original description

Make mechanical refactoring (file splits, function moves, module extractions, renames) machine-checkable instead of eyeballed. Reproduce a relocation commit byte-for-byte from faithful primitives, and split an extraction into a verifiable prepare + move + postpare. Use when doing or reviewing such changes.

Good for

  • Splitting a refactor into preparation, movement, and follow-up commits

Mechanical Refactor — Machine-Checkable Verification

1. Overview

  • The correctness of a mechanical change (file split, function move, module extraction, rename) must be machine-checkable, not eyeballed — the proof is something anyone can re-run, whoever made the change and whenever.
  • One property: a commit is a pure relocation. One proof: reproduce — regenerate the move from the base commit with faithful primitives, run the formatter, byte-diff against the target.
  • Empty diff = the proof. Any residual = a bundled non-move change, surfaced for review.
  • A reshape must not ride along: split into optional prepare + certified move + optional postpare (guide-split.md).

2. Commands — what do you want to do?

The skill takes an argument naming one of three commands; invoked without one, pick the row matching your task.

  • split <base>..<tip> — author a compliant refactor branch: split it into commits, satisfy the contract (extract, move, file split) → guide-split.md: §1 splits the PR into classified pieces (the chain contract: classification format, correct labeling, proofs PASS, non-mechanical commits correctness-reviewed); §2 splits one piece into prepare + move + postpare (the case recipes and the anti-patterns). The argument is the chain to author (or a single commit / a description of the change to split).
  • construct <base>..<tip> [--match REGEX] [--out DIR] — construct the proof, for the chain or one commit → guide-construct-proof.md: §1 generates + publishes the whole chain's proof folder (the flags are the generator's: scripts/mechanical_refactor_proof_generator.py <base>..<tip> --match REGEX --out DIR); §2 proves a single commit — pass just <commit> (the generator, or a hand-written Repro when it reports UNSUPPORTED).
  • verify --base <base> --branch <branch> --proof <folder> [--jobs N] [--skip-passed] — verify someone's proof: a whole chain / PR branch → guide-verify-proof.md: run the chain verifier with exactly these flags (scripts/mechanical_refactor_reproduction_cli.py) — it checks every commit declares mechanical_provable or non_mechanical_provable, runs every provable commit's proof (never a sample), and writes one full report; then audit the authored surfaces and the HUMAN_REVIEW rows. Re-running one commit's script is for diagnosis only.
  • Decide whether a change counts as a clean move → spec-reproduction-utils.md: the property, the whole whitelist / not-allowed list, and each primitive's contract. The source of truth for the reproduction module; if any other file disagrees, it wins.
  • Change this skill itself (edit the engine, the generator, or the spec) → guide-modify-skill.md: the spec-leads rule, the faithfulness invariant, and the testing bar a change must clear before it is trusted.

3. Files

  • guide-split.md — split the PR into classified pieces (§1, the chain contract) and each piece into prepare + move + postpare (§2: case recipes, what stays mechanical, anti-patterns).
  • guide-construct-proof.md — produce the proof: the whole chain's proof folder + publishing (§1), and a single commit's proof — generator or hand-written Repro (§2).
  • guide-verify-proof.md — consume the proof: the whole-chain verifier, single-commit re-runs, verdicts, and the audit checklist for authored surfaces.
  • spec-reproduction-utils.md — the normative spec of the clean-move property and the reproduction primitives.
  • spec-reproduction-cli.md — the normative spec of the verified-chain property: the classification word rule, the proof obligation, the report, and the exit codes.
  • guide-modify-skill.md — change the engine, the generator, or the spec: the spec-leads rule, the byte-faithfulness invariant, and the testing bar.
  • scripts/mechanical_refactor_proof_generator.py — the generator: infers a reproduce recipe from a commit's diff and emits/runs a standalone, auditable script per commit, with a PASS / RESIDUAL / UNSUPPORTED verdict.
  • scripts/mechanical_refactor_reproduction_utils.py — the proof engine: the Repro builder's faithful relocation primitives plus the worktree + pre-commit + byte-diff scaffold. Self-contained — only git and the standard library.
  • scripts/mechanical_refactor_reproduction_cli.py — the chain verifier: classifies every commit in base..branch, runs every provable commit's proof from the proof folder, and emits the full chain report.
  • scripts/tests/ — pytest suites, one folder per module: reproduction_utils/ for the proof engine, proof_generator/ for the generator, reproduction_cli/ for the chain verifier.
