Util Multi File Refactor

What it does

This skill refactors code across multiple files in a project. It can rename variables, functions, or classes consistently throughout the codebase, and update imports to reflect these changes. This ensures that large-scale code modifications are performed accurately and efficiently.

When to use it

• Renaming a function: You need to change the name of a core function used in multiple files across your project.
• Refactoring a class: A class needs to be renamed or its structure altered, requiring updates across several files.
• Standardizing variable names: You want to enforce consistent naming conventions for variables throughout a large codebase.
• Updating imports after refactoring: After restructuring your project, you need to update import statements in multiple files.

Key capabilities

• Multi-file code modification
• Variable renaming
• Function renaming
