## What it is
A Neovim plugin providing automated refactoring operations (extract/inline variable and function) and print-debugging helpers, powered by tree-sitter and LSP. It is based on the refactoring patterns from Martin Fowler's Refactoring book.

## Use cases
- extract a selected expression into a variable in neovim
- inline a variable into all its references
- extract a block of code into a function
- insert debug print statements with location context
- clean up debug print statements from code
- refactor code inside neovim without leaving the editor

## When to choose
- you use Neovim 0.12+ and want IDE-style automated refactorings
- you want tree-sitter and LSP powered extract/inline operations for supported languages
- you frequently add and remove print-debugging statements

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Neovim
- your language lacks a tree-sitter parser or the required queries
- you need refactoring features beyond extract/inline, such as rename or move method

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, parser, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cli
- tags: neovim, refactoring, tree-sitter, lsp, print-debugging, code-editing, automation
