App Maker — Refactor Workflow

Description: Improve existing artifact structure and quality

When to Use

Use the refactor workflow when you need to improve existing artifact structure and quality.

Input Requirements

• Application requirements and user stories with acceptance criteria
• API specifications and data model definitions
• Design system components and UI mockups
• Security requirements and OWASP compliance guidelines
• Accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA) and testing criteria

Process

1. Initialize — Set up the refactor context for App Maker
2. Execute — Perform the refactor operation following App Maker's style
3. Validate — Check output against quality gates
4. Handoff — Deliver results to downstream personas

Output

• Application source code with component-based architecture
• API implementations with input validation and error handling
• Accessibility audit reports with WCAG compliance status
• Security hardening documentation with header configurations
• Test suites covering unit, integration, and end-to-end scenarios

Quality Gates

• No hardcoded secrets or credentials in application code
• Input validation required on all user-facing and API endpoints
• Accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.2 AA) mandatory for all UI components
• Security headers and CSRF/XSS protections required for all endpoints
• Test coverage must meet defined thresholds before merge
