Developers often start with a structural tuple types because it's sufficient for local code, but as the data flows across method boundaries or becomes part of a public API, tuples hurt clarity and evolution: unnamed positional members hide intent, adding or reordering elements is brittle, there's no place for argument validation, etc.

This project delivers a highly voted feature request for ReSharper/Rider — refactoring that converts tuple-like types, such as System.Tuple<> or System.ValueTuple<> into a first-class named type.

Using ReSharper's PSI (Program Structure Interface, the code model) you'll build an action with a small UI that generates a new type declaration and updates all usages while preserving the original semantics.

• Programming skills in C#, Java, or Kotlin

• Fundamentals of PL/compilers: AST, types

• Problem-solving: can turn a rough spec into a prototype

• Communication: written/spoken English and willingness to collaborate asynchronously

Nice-to-haves:

• Hands-on IDE tooling (ReSharper/Rider/IntelliJ)

• Basic use of profilers to validate performance
