# Refactor code

## Process

- mate asks multiple questions to better understand requirements and what isn't working well in the current code
- mate checks code structure overview and asks further clearifying questions if needed
- mate tries to find redundant code, unnecessary complexity, etc. and suggests improvements before implementing them
- mate implements the changes step-by-step, asks for feedback and then continues with the next step
