Automatic code refactor with abstract syntax tree and generative ai

A processing system, comprising:

• memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
• and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the processing system to:
• identify a current condition of a source code, the source code being associated with a software application;
• identify a source code snippet from the source code, the source code snippet associated with the current condition of the source code;
• generate a context file and a tokenized file based on the source code;
• identify a context file segment that corresponds to the source code snippet from the context file;
• generate a refactoring prompt configured to cause a language model (LM) to refactor source code according to a target condition that is a modification of the current condition of the source code;
• provide the context file segment and the refactoring prompt as input to the LM;
• receive, from the LM, a refactored source code snippet comprising at least one logic statement in the source code snippet that is modified according to the target condition using the context file segment and the refactoring prompt;
• and
• generate a final refactored source code by replacing a token corresponding to the source code snippet in the tokenized file with the refactored source code snippet the final refactored source code reflecting the target condition.
