Evolutionary Naming

kawasima/evolutionary-naming

Use when refactoring code with poor names, when asked to improve naming, or when a user struggles to name a class/method/variable. Symptoms include -Manager/-Util suffixes, single-letter variables, process/handle/do verbs, primitive obsession, god methods with multiple responsibilities. Two modes — audit (broad scan, list opportunities) and improve (walk one specific identifier through the process).
