git.move

A Git repository file-moving helper that relocates files or directories while updating references to their old paths. Git is the version-control system used to track code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to move repository files or directories, move matching Python tests, create missing destination folders, and update references throughout the repository.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of broken imports, links, or tests after a file move and preserves the file's change history.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

git.move scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Goal

  • Given a source path <SRC> and destination path <DST> move a file or directory in the Git repo and update all references to it

Workflow

Validate Inputs

  • Confirm <SRC> exists in the repository
  • Confirm <DST> does not already exist (to prevent accidental overwrites)
  • Ensure the parent directory of <DST> exists, creating it if necessary

Move the File or Directory

  • Run git mv <SRC> <DST> to preserve Git history
  • If the file is in a subrepo (e.g., helpers_root), descend in that dir to use git mv
    • E.g., cd helpers_root && git mv <SRC> <DST> adjusting the paths accordingly

Move the Corresponding Python Tests

  • If <SRC> is a Python file and it has a corresponding test file (e.g., <DIR>/<FILE>.py -> <DIR>/test/test_<FILE>.py), then move also the test file to the proper destination (e.g., <DST>/test/test_<FILE>.py)

Update All References

  • Search the entire repository for any occurrences of <SRC>
    > grep -r -i <SRC> .
    
  • Replace each occurrence of <SRC> with <DST>
  • This includes:
    • Source code imports in Python
    • Unit test code in Python
    • Configuration files in YAML and JSON
    • Documentation in markdown and text
    • Any other plaintext files
  • Skip binary files and the .git/ directory

Summarize Changes

  • Report what changes were performed
    • List every file that had references updated, with a count of replacements per file
    • Flag any ambiguous matches that may need manual review

Ask for Help If Unsure How to Do

  • If the task is not perfectly clear, you MUST not perform it, but ask for clarifications
    • When the task is complex, create a plan.md with 5 bullet points explaining what the plan is

Verify Results

  • Make sure that there is no reference left over about file <SRC>
    > grep -r -i <SRC> .

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

git.move is a skill published in the GitHub repository causify-ai/helpers (145 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 500 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
