trace-mcp â Refactoring Workflow
openbooklet.com/s/trace-mcp-refactoring-workflowopenbooklet.com/s/trace-mcp-refactoring-workflow@1.0.0GET /api/v1/skills/trace-mcp-refactoring-workflowUse this skill whenever you are about to rename, restructure, extract, or otherwise refactor code in a project indexed by trace-mcp. The goal is to never break cross-file references and never guess at what is affected.
Use trace-mcp tools for code navigation, impact analysis, and framework-aware queries instead of Read/Grep/Glob/Bash. Activate whenever the agent needs to explore, understand, or modify a codebase that has trace-mcp indexed.
Use trace-mcp apply_codemod for any bulk mechanical change instead of repeated Edit calls. Activate whenever the same edit pattern would be applied 2+ times, across one file or many.
Run trace-mcp security, quality-gate, and antipattern checks before committing or opening a PR. Activate when the agent is about to create a commit or pull request in a project indexed by trace-mcp.
