Code Refactor
Systematic code refactoring across files. Auto-switches to execution mode for 10+ files (90% token savings).
Mode Selection
- 1-9 files: Use native tools (Grep + Edit with replace_all)
- 10+ files: Automatically use
code-execution skill
Execution example (50 files):
from api.code_transform import rename_identifier
result = rename_identifier('.', 'oldName', 'newName', '**/*.py')
# Returns: {'files_modified': 50, 'total_replacements': 247}
# ~500 tokens vs ~25,000 tokens traditional
When to Use
- "rename [identifier] to [new_name]"
- "replace all [pattern] with [replacement]"
- "refactor to use [new_pattern]"
- "update all calls to [function/API]"
- "convert [old_pattern] to [new_pattern]"
Core Workflow (Native Mode)
1. Find All Occurrences
Grep(pattern="getUserData", output_mode="files_with_matches") # Find files
Grep(pattern="getUserData", output_mode="content", -n=true, -B=2, -A=2) # Verify with context
