What is naming-refactor?

A repository-wide refactoring workflow for making names and folder structure express one consistent domain model while keeping behaviour and external interfaces unchanged.

Use it to rename code and files across the whole repository, reorganise paths, preserve compatibility, and separately report any clearly proven bug fixes discovered during the work.

It removes confusing or inconsistent names without accidentally breaking features, integrations, command-line options, configuration, or import paths.

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add PaulRBerg/agent-skills --skill naming-refactor

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/PaulRBerg/agent-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00020	$0.02372
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00949
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00474
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00237

Security

Grade A, and why

naming-refactor 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 17d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/naming-ledger.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Naming Refactor

If a slash or dollar invocation already added these instructions to the conversation, follow them directly. In that case, do not invoke this skill again through a skill tool.

Make every name in the current repository communicate one coherent domain model, regardless of refactor cost.

Contract

Cover the complete current Git repository. Do not narrow the run to selected files or stop after a candidate cap.
Preserve features, runtime behavior, side effects, performance-sensitive characteristics, and externally consumed contracts. Large diffs, path moves, and repository-controlled interface migrations are allowed.
Treat an exported surface as repository-controlled only when every consumer is in scope and can migrate atomically. Preserve other API names, CLI flags, environment variables, configuration keys, wire fields, routes, database names, and import paths unless the user explicitly authorizes a breaking migration.
Fix a bug discovered during the refactor only when the defect and intended behavior are clear and a regression check can prove the fix. Keep bug fixes in a distinct change wave and report them separately.
Preserve pre-existing work. Local edits, file moves, directory restructuring, and non-destructive validation are authorized. Do not commit, push, publish, or write externally unless the user or repository instructions require it.
Serialize implementation and verification against intersecting repository writes. Complete codebase analysis and the refactor plan first, then claim the cumulative write set before each wave as defined under Acquire the Implementation Scope.
A verified no-op is valid only after exhaustive coverage. Do not rename a clear, conventional name merely to create churn, but do not retain a weak name to minimize diff size.

Coverage Ledger

Resolve scripts/naming-ledger.py relative to this SKILL.md and create its ledger outside the repository:

uv run "<skill-dir>/scripts/naming-ledger.py" init --root <repo> --ledger <scratch.json>

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
