Rename, extract, split, move, or restructure code safely
by abhigyanpatwariFree
Description
gitnexus-refactoring is an agent skill for renaming, extracting, splitting, moving and restructuring code safely with GitNexus. Use it for tasks such as renaming a function, pulling code out into a module, splitting a service, or moving code to a new file. The skill is careful with writes. Refactoring changes files on disk, and the rename operation edits files in whichever repository was resolved when run without a dry run. For that reason, binding the repository is a safety gate, not bookkeeping, and the skill confirms the repository before it makes any change. Use it when you want a structural change carried out across the codebase, with a preview where the tool supports one. It is part of the abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus repository on GitHub, which has about 47,900 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,700 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus --skill gitnexus-refactoring.…
