rename-symbol

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that when a symbol (like a variable, function, or class name) is renamed, all its references across the entire codebase are updated consistently, preventing orphaned references and semantic inconsistencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Renaming: Updates direct and semantic references, including declarations, call sites, file names, and non-code references (comments, documentation).
• Scope Clarification: Helps differentiate between exact symbol renames and conceptual root renames.
• Use Case: Refactoring a large codebase by renaming a core data structure like UserData to UserProfile across all classes, methods, files, and associated documentation.

Quick Start

Use the rename-symbol skill to change all instances of 'old_function_name' to 'new_function_name' throughout the project.
