SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams safely rename, extract, split, move, or restructure code across a codebase while preserving behavior and minimizing breakages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Impact-aware planning: map all dependents and execution flows before making changes.
  • Context-driven refactoring: plan interfaces, implementations, callers, and tests in logical order.
  • Safe apply & verification: generate a change plan, apply edits, and verify integrity with quick checks.

Quick Start

Preview the symbol rename across the codebase using a dry run to review all edits before applying changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely rename symbols and extract modules across a large codebase?▼

To safely rename symbols and extract modules across a codebase, use impact-aware planning to map all dependents and execution flows before applying edits. This context-driven approach preserves behavior and minimizes breakages by verifying integrity with quick checks.

What is context-driven refactoring and when do I need it for splitting functions?▼

Context-driven refactoring is a method that plans interfaces, implementations, callers, and tests in a logical order before executing changes. You need it for splitting functions or moving code across files to ensure all execution flows remain intact and prevent breakages.

Can I preview a codebase refactor before applying the changes?▼

Yes, you can preview a symbol rename across the codebase using a dry run. This allows you to review all planned edits and map the impact before applying any changes, ensuring the refactoring process remains safe and reversible.

Do I need a graph-aware toolchain to automate code refactoring and moving code across files?▼

Yes, automating safe code refactoring across a codebase requires a graph-aware toolchain with dry-run, context queries, and apply/verify steps. This toolchain maps the impact and context needed to safely move code across files without breaking dependents.

What's the best way to verify code integrity after restructuring code and extracting modules?▼

The best way to verify code integrity after extracting modules is to generate a change plan, apply edits, and run verification quick checks. This ensures all dependents and execution flows remain unbroken, preserving the original behavior of the restructured code.
