SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Safely rename, extract, split, or relocate code across a repository to maintain correctness and minimize risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context gathering and dependency mapping before any change.
  • Impact analysis across modules, interfaces, and tests.
  • Stepwise execution with validation, dry-run, and automated change detection.
  • Use cases: renaming a function, extracting a module, splitting a service, or moving a component.

Quick Start

Provide a target symbol and the new name to initiate a safe, plan-driven refactor across the codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely rename a function across multiple files in a codebase?

To safely rename a function across a repository, you need a stepwise refactoring workflow that gathers context, maps dependencies, updates interfaces, and runs tests to preserve correctness. This approach minimizes risk by validating changes through impact analysis and automated detection.

What is the best way to extract a module without breaking existing tests?

Extracting a module without breaking tests requires an impact analysis across modules and interfaces before execution. By enforcing a stepwise workflow with dry runs and automated change detection, you can relocate code while preserving test validity and minimizing regression risk.

How does dependency graph mapping help when splitting a service?

Dependency graph mapping identifies all affected modules and interfaces before you split a service, ensuring structural integrity. It enables stepwise execution with validation and dry runs, so you can safely relocate components while maintaining correctness across the repository.

Can I move a component across a multi-file project while preserving interfaces?

Yes, you can move a component across a multi-file project while preserving interfaces by applying a plan-driven refactor. The process uses context gathering and impact analysis to update references automatically, ensuring the relocated component maintains its original contract.

What steps are needed to execute safe code refactorings in a repository?

Executing safe code refactorings requires a stepwise process: context gathering, dependency mapping, impact analysis, interface updates, and testing. The workflow finishes with dry runs and automated change detection to validate correctness before finalizing the repository modifications.
