standr/refactor

Code craft

AI-generated code works. It just reads like five different developers wrote it in isolation. The refactor plugin brings coherence—consistent naming, aligned structure, reduced noise, and the kind of review a senior engineer would give before approving a merge.

Demo

Eight commands, one codebase

Eight focused examples from a small Python backend. Each command applied to a real problem: compressed names, inconsistent shapes, asymmetric vocabulary, repeated guards, tangled conditionals, a deprecated API, comment noise.

Fix weak or misleading names.

Look for: `d`, `p`, `x` are meaningless. `item`, `unit_price`, `order` say what they carry.

without standr

def build_receipt(d, p):
    v = d["qty"] * p
    t = {"q": d["qty"], "u": p, "v": v}
    return t


def add_item(d, x):
    d["i"].append(x)
    return d

with standr

def build_receipt(item, unit_price):
    total = item["qty"] * unit_price
    receipt = {"qty": item["qty"], "unit_price": unit_price, "total": total}
    return receipt


def add_item(order, item):
    order["items"].append(item)
    return order
