# Refactor

Bring an existing project closer to its standards without changing user-visible behavior.
This is the repository-convergence exception in the [development loop](../../shared/development-loop.md).
It can inspect the whole target but can change only an approved tranche.

`$ARGUMENTS` is a free-text focus, such as `database queries`, `src/orders`, or a planned feature.
With a focus, audit that area and its required dependencies. Without one, audit the whole project.
The audit is always read-only. The user chooses what to change afterwards.

The audit changes nothing in the target.
The frontmatter withholds write tools during the audit, but the rule holds even when the harness exposes them.
