List every site a rename, move, or signature change must touch before editing, then prove nothing was missed after. Trigger when about to rename a function, method, class or type, rename or move a file or module, change a parameter list or return type, move a symbol between files, or remove a symbol, in a repo with a `.dekko/` directory; and again after those edits, before running tests. dekko's call graph has the exact call sites, type annotations, implementors and import lines, so this…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Refactoring with dekko (find every site first)

A rename or signature change fails in one way: a site nobody listed.
Grep for the old name over-matches strings and comments and misses
aliased imports; dekko's map has the exact call, annotation, heritage
and import edges. List the sites from the map, edit only those lines,
then ask the map what still points at the old name. Tool names below
are the bare MCP names (`dekko-orient` has the prefixes, the CLI
fallback, and target syntax).

## Before editing: the site list

Pin the target first with `query_symbol` (append `:LINE` if the reply
says it's an overload set) and read its `note:` lines. Then list the
sites for the kind of change:

| Change | Sites to list | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Rename or re-sign a function/method | every call site | `get_callers` with `sites=true include_tests=true` (CLI `dekko query callers <sym> --sites`) |
| Rename or reshape a class/struct/interface/trait | annotations that name it, implementors, constructor calls | `find_type_usages <T>`, `get_subtypes <T>` with `transitive=true include_tests=true`, `get_callers` as above; or one `workset symbol=<T> type_impact=true` (CLI `--symbol <T> --type-impact`) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aahlijia/dekko/dekko-refactor@sha256:3acbae240d76f06a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.bab3b36, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
