How it works
1. Code insights with AI Assistance
CodeLaser Refactor combines comprehensive static analysis with AI guidance to provide safe, large-scale refactoring opportunities for Java codebases.
Code modelling
Complete type dependency graphs across your entire codebase.
Package-level architectural health assessment (abstractness vs instability)
Usage pattern analysis for informed refactoring decisions
External library impact assessment
Smart Discovery
Natural language code search using embeddings
Pattern-based type and method discovery
Call path computation for impact analysis
Naming convention analysis and suggestions
Codebase Understanding
AI analyzes your specific code patterns and conventions
Suggestions based on existing architectural patterns, based on codebase analysis
Contextual recommendations for refactoring opportunities
2. Planning and execution
The refactoring workflow consists of distinct phases: comprehensive code analysis to identify transformation opportunities, detailed planning with step-by-step execution plans if required, optional human review and finally isolated application of changes on separate code branches.
Analyze
CodeLaser Refactor identifies architectural patterns and potential refactoring targets
Generates package-level metrics and coupling analysis

Plan
Work with your favorite coding agent to define refactoring goals using natural language
CodeLaser Refactor generates detailed execution plans with step-by-step actions
Review
Preview all changes with complete context and impact analysis
Web dashboard displays visual diffs and change summaries
Customize plans by selecting/deselecting individual steps
Execute
Apply changes atomically with full rollback capability
Continuous build validation throughout execution
Git integration with automatic branch management
Detailed execution logs for audit trails
A Conversation example
You: "I want to extract an interface from my UserService class"
AI agent: "I'll help you extract an interface from UserService. Let me analyze the dependencies first."
[AI uses Refactor MCP server to analyze UserService and finds 23 dependent classes]
AI agent: "I've created a some refactoring plans to extract IUserService interface. The optimal one will affect 23 classes across 8 packages. Would you like to review the plans before execution?" [AI presents link to Interactive dashboard showing detailed plan with visual diffs]
You: "Your proposed plan looks good, but skip the test file updates for now"
AI agent: "I've updated the plan to exclude test files. Ready to execute the remaining 156 changes?"
You: "Go ahead !"
AI agent: "I have made the planned changes, and created a branch called 'UserService interface extraction' for you to review"
