gitnexus-refactoring

A refactoring workflow that maps how code is connected before renaming, extracting, splitting, moving, or restructuring it. It uses the project's code relationships to identify affected callers, implementations, interfaces, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for safe symbol renames, moving code into new files, extracting modules, splitting services, and other structural code changes.
Why use it?
Large code changes can leave hidden references broken. This workflow helps update related code in a deliberate order and check that only expected files changed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

gitnexus-refactoring 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to gitnexus-refactoring — 58 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Refactoring with GitNexus

When to Use

  • "Rename this function safely"
  • "Extract this into a module"
  • "Split this service"
  • "Move this to a new file"
  • Any task involving renaming, extracting, splitting, or restructuring code

Workflow

1. gitnexus_impact({target: "X", direction: "upstream"})  → Map all dependents
2. gitnexus_query({query: "X"})                            → Find execution flows involving X
3. gitnexus_context({name: "X"})                           → See all incoming/outgoing refs
4. Plan update order: interfaces → implementations → callers → tests

If "Index is stale" → run npx gitnexus analyze in terminal.

Checklists

Rename Symbol

- [ ] gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "oldName", new_name: "newName", dry_run: true}) — preview all edits
- [ ] Review graph edits (high confidence) and ast_search edits (review carefully)
- [ ] If satisfied: gitnexus_rename({..., dry_run: false}) — apply edits
- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify only expected files changed
- [ ] Run tests for affected processes

Extract Module

- [ ] gitnexus_context({name: target}) — see all incoming/outgoing refs
- [ ] gitnexus_impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) — find all external callers
- [ ] Define new module interface
- [ ] Extract code, update imports
- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify affected scope
- [ ] Run tests for affected processes

Split Function/Service

- [ ] gitnexus_context({name: target}) — understand all callees
- [ ] Group callees by responsibility
- [ ] gitnexus_impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) — map callers to update
- [ ] Create new functions/services
- [ ] Update callers
- [ ] gitnexus_detect_changes() — verify affected scope
- [ ] Run tests for affected processes

Tools

gitnexus_rename — automated multi-file rename:

gitnexus_rename({symbol_name: "validateUser", new_name: "authenticateUser", dry_run: true})
→ 12 edits across 8 files
→ 10 graph edits (high confidence), 2 ast_search edits (review)
→ Changes: [{file_path, edits: [{line, old_text, new_text, confidence}]}]

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.
