Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned abhigyanpatwari/gitnexus at 0bcddec8e6.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

Gitnexus Refactoring automates complex code refactorings within Git repositories, aiming to improve maintainability and reduce technical debt. It assists with tasks like renaming symbols, extracting code into modules, splitting functions or services, and moving code to new files. The skill leverages a workflow that maps dependencies and execution flows before applying changes, ensuring safer and more controlled refactoring operations.

When to use it

This skill is helpful in the following situations:

  • Renaming a function or symbol.
  • Extracting a section of code into a separate module.
  • Splitting a large function or service into smaller components.
  • Moving code from one file to another within the repository.
  • Any task involving restructuring existing code.

Key capabilities

  • Automated Renaming: gitnexus_rename facilitates automated multi-file renaming with preview and application options.
  • Dependency Mapping: gitnexus_impact identifies dependents of a target symbol or function, crucial for understanding the scope of changes.
  • Execution Flow Analysis: gitnexus_query helps find execution flows involving specific code elements.
  • Contextual Reference Exploration: gitnexus_context provides visibility into incoming and outgoing references to a given code element.
  • Change Verification: gitnexus_detect_changes verifies that only the expected files have been modified after refactoring, assessing risk level.
  • Custom Queries: gitnexus_cypher allows for custom reference queries using a cypher-like syntax.

Example prompts

Here are some example prompts you could give an agent with this skill:

  • "Rename the function validateUser to authenticateUser and show me a dry run of the changes."
  • "Extract the code related to user authentication into a new module."
  • "What other functions call loginHandler?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Stale Index: If you encounter an "Index is stale" error, run npx gitnexus analyze in your terminal.
  • Review Carefully: While gitnexus_rename provides high-confidence graph edits, always carefully review the results of ast_search edits before applying changes.
  • Test Thoroughly: Always run tests for affected processes after any refactoring operation to ensure functionality remains intact.
