This Skill ensures that when a symbol (like a variable, function, or class name) is renamed, all its references across the entire codebase are updated consistently, preventing orphaned references and semantic inconsistencies.
UserData to UserProfile across all classes, methods, files, and associated documentation.Use the rename-symbol skill to change all instances of 'old_function_name' to 'new_function_name' throughout the project.

To rename a function across an entire codebase, you must systematically update declarations, call sites, file names, and non-code references. Using a robust search mechanism like rg guarantees completeness by finding direct and semantic references.
Refactoring a core data structure name requires comprehensive renaming that updates direct code references, file names, comments, and associated documentation. This prevents orphaned references and semantic inconsistencies during codebase maintenance.
IDE refactoring often misses non-code references, file names, and semantic call sites. A systematic symbol renaming approach using robust search tools like rg goes beyond typical IDE capabilities to guarantee complete reference updates.
To standardize variable names in comments and documentation, you need a comprehensive renaming process that identifies and modifies non-code references alongside declarations and call sites, ensuring name standardization across the project.
Yes, comprehensive symbol renaming simultaneously updates declarations, call sites, and associated file names. This ensures all direct and semantic references are modified consistently across the entire codebase during code evolution.
You need a search tool like rg for symbol renaming when updating direct and semantic references across an entire codebase, as it guarantees completeness by finding orphaned references in declarations, call sites, files, and non-code documentation.
