description Overview
Introduce Variable
When a complex expression or calculation is used multiple times, or when its intermediate result is needed for clarity, this refactoring pulls that expression into a named local variable. This dramatically improves the flow of data within a function, making the code easier to follow without sacrificing performance. It is a key tool for improving local comprehension.

Introduce Type Alias
When a complex type signature (e.g., `Map`) is used repeatedly, this refactoring allows you to alias it to a simple, descriptive name (e.g., `UserDirectory`). This doesn't change the underlying type but drastically improves the readability of function signatures and variable declarations, making the code read closer to natural language.
