See the project
Refract looks at the software as a whole, so a change in one screen can respect the rest.
From generated code to code you can keep.
Refract reads the project, finds what will get messy, and prepares a cleanup you approve. You never leave GitHub to decide.

Find what will hurt later
It looks for the patterns that show up when code is generated quickly: copied logic, tangled screens, leftover state, structure that won’t age well. If something sensitive was left in the code — like a credential — it tells you. It does not quietly “fix” secrets.

Clean what it can
When the cleanup is safe, you get a concrete change to approve. When it isn’t, you get a clear explanation instead of a guess.

Check, then remember
After you approve, Refract applies the change and looks again. Over time you can see whether the project is getting cleaner — or still shipping the mess.
Decide on GitHub. Use the website for the rest.
On GitHub
On the website
The website is not a second place to accept cleanups. The decision stays next to the code.
You’ll see one of a few honest results
Still working
Wait. This is not a pass.
Looks clear
Nothing from Refract needs you on this change.
Cleanup ready
A safe cleanup is prepared. Approve it on GitHub.
Have a look
Something matters, and Refract will not change it for you. Read the explanation.
Something went wrong
Analysis failed. Refract will say so. It will not paint a fake success.
What “cleaner” means in practice
On React and TypeScript projects, Refract is especially good at the leftovers of fast generation:
data fetching mixed into the interface
the same logic written twice
state that is never really used
effects that don’t clean up after themselves
missing timeouts and missing error handling at the edges
screens doing work that belongs elsewhere
Some of that, it can clean for you. Some of that, it will only point out — on purpose. A bad automatic rewrite is worse than an honest note.

Will this fight my AI tools?
No. Keep generating. Refract is the pass that keeps the result maintainable.
Will it change code without me?
No. You approve. You merge.
Do I have to learn a new workspace?
No. Day to day, you stay on GitHub.
