gitnexus-refactoring from metagit-ai/metagit-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when the user wants to rename, extract, split, move, or restructure code safely. Examples: "Rename this function", "Extract this into a module", "Refactor this class", "Move this to a separate file".
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 GitNexus
## When to Use
- "Rename this function safely"
- "Extract this into a module"
- "Split this service"
- "Move this to a new file"
- Any task involving renaming, extracting, splitting, or restructuring code
## Bind the repository first
Refactoring writes to disk. `rename` with `dry_run: false` edits files in
whichever repository was resolved, so binding identity here is a safety gate,
not bookkeeping.
Call `list_repos {}` before the first tool call. With one indexed repository,
use the examples below as written. With more than one, pass `repo` on every
call: an omitted `repo` normally errors, but under an MCP policy with a
configured default it resolves to that default silently. If you cannot tell
which repository is meant, stop and ask. Never run `rename` with
`dry_run: false` until the preview in the same bound repository has been
reviewed — its returned `file_path` values show which checkout is about to be
written, so read them as a confirmation of identity.
`list_repos` is paginated, so page with `offset: pagination.nextOffset` until
`hasMore` is false before concluding a repository is absent.

How to install
mdr add metagit-ai/metagit-cli/gitnexus-refactoring@sha256:e75c5e9730fec7cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.a6ce61c, 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.
