# Refactoring workflow
1. First off, check for type annotations and add them if missing using MonkeyType.
`autorefine` will be a CLI tool that will help you refactor a project in a few simple steps:

1. Analyze the project and create a refactoring roadmap.
1. Fork a repository you want to refactor.

1. Check for type errors using static type checkers.
1. Create a new branch for refactoring.

1. Check for code style issues using linters.
1. Run `autorefine configure` to run a wizard that will help you configure `autorefine`, configure security violation detection (`autorefine` will typically detect doctest, pytest and other tools that determine whether the project runs safe) and refactor the project for a specific choice of linting tools.

1. Apply automatic fixes and commit them in reviewable chunks with meaningful descriptions.
1. Run `autorefine analyze` to analyze the project with linters and type checkers. Autorefine now knows what needs to be fixed in the current HEAD.

1. Run `autorefine roadmap` to create a refactoring roadmap. You will have a checklist of all the things that need to be fixed in the project automatically and manually.

1. Run `autorefine plan` to create a delivery plan and set up iterations of the refactoring process. First off, you can start by a PR that aims to modernize the codebase (fixes in the roadmap will be grouped and you will be able to select which ones you want to apply in this iteration).

1. Run `autorefine autopilot` to apply automatic fixes and commit them in reviewable and git-bisectable chunks with meaningful descriptions.

1. Run `autorefine check` to ensure there are no security violations that can cause future regressions.

1. Run `autorefine troubleshoot` to sync with the test suite and use `git bisect` to find out what fix went wrong, get a detailed description of the problem and suggestions on how to fix it.

1. Leave the rest for manual work.

1. Create a PR.
1. Run `autorefine finalize` to create a PR with a detailed description of the changes and a link to the roadmap, delivery plan and all commits of the current refactor iteration.
