SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you safely perform code refactoring tasks such as renames, extractions, module splits, and file relocations by mapping dependencies and updating references to maintain correctness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated impact analysis: maps dependents and execution flows for planned changes.
  • Context-aware edits: updates imports and interfaces to preserve behavior.
  • Safe workflow with checklists and templates for common refactor scenarios.

Quick Start

Plan and execute a safe refactor by running gitnexus_rename on a symbol, then review impact with gitnexus_impact before applying changes.

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

Module extraction involves separating code into new modules while updating all existing imports and dependencies. This Skill automates the extraction workflow by applying graph-based impact analysis to identify affected references and rewrite them safely.

What is dependency-aware impact analysis for code refactoring?

Dependency-aware impact analysis maps all dependents and execution flows for planned code changes before they are applied. It ensures correctness during refactoring tasks like symbol renames and file relocations by identifying every reference that needs updating.

Can I automate moving files and updating imports without breaking references?

Automating file relocations requires rewriting imports and interfaces to maintain software behavior. This Skill applies graph-based impact analysis to plan dependency-aware updates, ensuring all references are safely rewritten during the relocation process.

Does this refactoring approach work for large multi-file software projects?

Yes, this approach is designed for multi-file software projects requiring dependency-aware updates. It handles large-scale refactors by generating automated change plans and utilizing graph-based impact analysis to ensure safety and correctness across the codebase.

What's the best way to plan a safe refactor workflow before applying changes?

The best way to plan a safe refactor is to run an impact analysis mapping all dependents, then review the generated change plan and import rewrites. This Skill provides checklists and templates for common scenarios to verify correctness before applying updates.

Why do I need graph-based analysis to split modules in my code?

Graph-based analysis is needed for module splits to map complex execution flows and dependency chains accurately. It ensures that extracting or moving symbols does not break existing behavior by identifying all required import and reference rewrites.
