Extract & dedupe
Remove duplication without altering behavior.
The prompt
@<file> has repeated logic in <functions>. Extract a shared helper without changing behavior. Keep the public API identical, and run the tests to confirm nothing broke.Why it works
“Without changing behavior” plus “keep the public API identical” defines a pure refactor, so the model consolidates instead of redesigning. Running tests turns “should be fine” into proof.
Fill in
@<file>— where the duplication lives.<functions>— the functions that repeat.
Follow-ups
- “Move the helper to
@<utils>if it’s used elsewhere too.”
