mcp-memory-service: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/gitnexus-refactoring/SKILL.md

gitnexus-refactoring is a skill for Claude Code from doobidoo/mcp-memory-service. It costs 16 tokens per session (996 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gitnexus-refactoring, Apache-2.0.

A refactoring planning guide that uses GitNexus to map code dependencies before restructuring. Refactoring means changing code organisation without intentionally changing what it does.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when renaming symbols, extracting modules, splitting services, or moving code to another file. It helps order the updates and verify that only expected files changed.
Why use it?
It shows which callers, implementations, interfaces, and tests may be affected by a change. This reduces the chance of missing a dependent part of the codebase.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is doobidoo/mcp-memory-service's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-memory-service itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-memory-service configures →

About the project

mcp-memory-service is a self-hosted memory backend that lets AI agents store and retrieve shared project context through REST, MCP, OAuth, a command-line interface, and a dashboard. It is intended for agent pipelines and clients such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Claude Desktop, and OpenCode, with support for knowledge graphs and memory consolidation. The catalogue includes skills, agents, commands, instructions, hooks, a setting, an MCP entry, and a plugin for its workflows.

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 6d 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.

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.
