Tactical Refactoring

Deploying the RAG engine to perform autonomous code surgery and architectural optimization.

Memory without action is just an archive. We are taking the synchronized data from our Semantic Vault and using it as a biological blueprint to perform surgery on our codebase.

Refactoring is the art of aligning current reality with past wisdom.

Intent

You will build a Refactoring Agent that retrieves architectural patterns from your vault and automatically identifies Logic Debt in your scripts.

Background

This isn’t just cleaning code, it is contextual optimization. The engine retrieves your past successes and architectural rules to ensure that every new line of code follows the established sovereign pattern.


Feedback Loop

It relies on a three-way handshake between your code, your vault, and the AI core.

Tactical Refactoring

  1. Observation: The AI reads a code snippet.
  2. Retrieval: The AI queries the vault for similar patterns (e.g., How did we handle error logs in a previous lesson?).
  3. Surgery: The AI suggests changes that align the current code with the vault’s standards.

Tactical Patterns

When the engine refactors, it looks for three specific types of optimization.

Optimization Targets

  • Semantic Alignment: Ensuring variable names and logic flow match the definitions in your code.
  • Redundancy Pruning: Identifying logic that has already been solved and stored in the vault.
  • Safety Hardening: Applying the safety thresholds and hyperparameters we forged earlier to the code’s execution flow.

Refactor Surgeon

We will create a refactor tool. It pulls a file, asks the vault for relevant context, and uses Gemini to suggest a sovereign version of the code.

  1. Context Pull
    We use the sovereign_query logic to find architectural rules related to the file we are refactoring.

  2. Surgical Prompt
    We provide the raw code and the retrieved context to Gemini with a refactor instruction.

  3. Diff Generation
    The engine outputs the improved code, highlighting the logical evolution.

refactor.py
from orchestrator import sovereign_query
import google.generativeai as genai
def tactical_refactor(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
code = f.read()
# 1. Retrieve architectural 'Blueprints'
context = sovereign_query(f"Architectural standards for {file_path}")
# 2. Forge Surgical Prompt
prompt = f"""
<role>Expert Software Surgeon</role>
<context>{context}</context>
<original_code>{code}</original_code>
<task>Refactor for logic density and pattern alignment.</task>
"""
# 3. Perform Surgery
model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-1.5-pro')
return model.generate_content(prompt).text
print(tactical_refactor("sentinel.py"))

Conclusion

Tactical Refactoring turns your AI into an architectural enforcer. Your code no longer drifts toward entropy; it is constantly pulled back toward the center of excellence defined in your vault.

Surgery is successful when the patient (the code) is stronger than before the intervention.
