Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Rename Refactor

Ask the user for the file or directory to refactor. Support multiple files if a directory is provided.

Process

Work through these steps in order, making a separate commit for each rename:

  1. Rename local variables

    • Replace generic names (data, temp, obj, etc.) with domain-specific terms
    • Make names describe behavior and domain purpose
    • Follow language conventions (camelCase, snake_case, etc.)

  2. Rename private methods/fields

    • Improve clarity and reveal intent
    • Ensure consistency across related names
    • Use behavior-focused names

  3. Rename public methods/fields

    • Same as private, but broader impact
    • Ensure all references updated throughout codebase

  4. Rename classes/types

    • Highest impact, most careful
    • Domain-driven names that reveal purpose

After EACH rename:

  • Run tests automatically
  • If tests fail, revert the change immediately
  • Commit using: . r rename <old> to <new>

Guidelines

  • DO NOT CHANGE ANY BEHAVIOR - only improve names
  • Use IDE rename refactoring when possible (compile-error driven)
  • Ensure all references updated throughout codebase

Output

  • If no names to improve, report "No names to improve"
  • Otherwise provide brief summary (e.g., "Renamed 7 variables, 3 methods, 1 class")

Commit Format

Use Arlo's Commit Notation (ACN):

  • . r rename getData to fetchStockPrices
  • . r rename userObj to investorProfile
