What types of files does it search for references in?

It searches through a wide range of files including source code (Python, JS, C++, etc.), documentation (Markdown, RST), configuration files (YAML, JSON, TOML), and build files.

Can I use this to move entire directories?

This specific skill is optimized for moving individual files. Moving entire directories is a more complex operation that usually requires a different workflow to ensure all nested paths are handled correctly.

Does this skill preserve my Git history?

Yes, the skill specifically uses the 'git mv' command to ensure that file history and version control metadata are preserved during the move.

How does it handle language-specific imports?

The skill follows language-specific conventions to update import statements, such as adjusting dotted module paths in Python or relative path imports in JavaScript.

개발자 도구

Moves or renames files while automatically identifying and updating all references across source code, documentation, and configuration files.

The move-a-file skill enables AI agents to perform safe and thorough refactoring by automating the tedious process of relocating or renaming files within a codebase. Unlike a simple file move, this skill utilizes advanced search patterns with tools like ripgrep to find exact filenames, relative paths, and language-specific import statements. It intelligently updates these references to ensure that documentation links, build scripts, and source code remain functional, finally executing the move via git to preserve version control history. This is particularly useful for large-scale structural changes where manual reference hunting is prone to error.
