Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Rust Refactor Helper
Perform safe refactoring with comprehensive impact analysis.
Usage
/rust-refactor-helper <action> <target> [--dry-run]
**Actions:**
- `rename <old> <new>` - Rename symbol
- `extract-fn <selection>` - Extract to function
- `inline <fn>` - Inline function
- `move <symbol> <dest>` - Move to module
**Examples:**
- `/rust-refactor-helper rename parse_config load_config`
- `/rust-refactor-helper extract-fn src/main.rs:20-35`
- `/rust-refactor-helper move UserService src/services/`
LSP Operations Used
Pre-Refactor Analysis
# Find all references before renaming
LSP(
operation: "findReferences",
filePath: "src/lib.rs",
line: 25,
character: 8
)
# Get symbol info
LSP(
operation: "hover",
filePath: "src/lib.rs",
line: 25,
character: 8
)
# Check call hierarchy for move operations
LSP(
operation: "incomingCalls",
filePath: "src/lib.rs",
line: 25,
character: 8
)
Refactoring Workflows
1. Rename Symbol
User: "Rename parse_config to load_config"
│
▼
[1] Find symbol definition
LSP(goToDefinition)
│
▼
[2] Find ALL references
LSP(findReferences)
│
▼
[3] Categorize by file
│
▼
[4] Check for conflicts
- Is 'load_config' already used?
- Are there macro-generated uses?
│
▼
[5] Show impact analysis (--dry-run)
│
▼
[6] Apply changes with Edit tool**Output:**
## Rename: parse_config → load_config
### Impact Analysis
**Definition:** src/config.rs:25
**References found:** 8
| File | Line | Context | Change |
|------|------|---------|--------|
| src/config.rs | 25 | `pub fn parse_config(` | Definition |
| src/config.rs | 45 | `parse_config(path)?` | Call |
| src/main.rs | 12 | `config::parse_config` | Import |
| src/main.rs | 30 | `let cfg = parse_config(` | Call |
| src/lib.rs | 8 | `pub use config::parse_config` | Re-export |
| tests/config_test.rs | 15 | `parse_config("test.toml")` | Test |
| tests/config_test.rs | 25 | `parse_config("")` | Test |
| docs/api.md | 42 | `parse_config` | Documentation |
### Potential Issues
⚠️ **Documentation reference:** docs/api.md:42 may need manual update
⚠️ **Re-export:** src/lib.rs:8 - public API change
### Proceed?
- [x] --dry-run (preview only)
- [ ] Apply changes2. Extract Function
User: "Extract lines 20-35 in main.rs to a function"
│
▼
[1] Read the selected code block
│
▼
[2] Analyze variables
- Which are inputs? (used but not defined in block)
- Which are outputs? (defined and used after block)
- Which are local? (defined and used only in block)
│
▼
[3] Determine function signature
│
▼
[4] Check for early returns, loops, etc.
│
▼
[5] Generate extracted function
│
▼
[6] Replace original code with call**Output:**
## Extract Function: src/main.rs:20-35
### Selected Code
```rust
let file = File::open(&path)?;
let mut contents = String::new();
file.read_to_string(&mut contents)?;
let config: Config = toml::from_str(&contents)?;
validate_config(&config)?;
```
### Analysis
**Inputs:** path: &Path
**Outputs:** config: Config
**Side Effects:** File I/O, may return error
### Extracted Function
```rust
fn load_and_validate_config(path: &Path) -> Result<Config> {
let file = File::open(path)?;
let mut contents = String::new();
file.read_to_string(&mut contents)?;
let config: Config = toml::from_str(&contents)?;
validate_config(&config)?;
Ok(config)
}
```
### Replacement
```rust
let config = load_and_validate_config(&path)?;
```3. Move Symbol
User: "Move UserService to src/services/"
│
▼
[1] Find symbol and all its dependencies
│
▼
[2] Find all references (callers)
LSP(findReferences)
│
▼
[3] Analyze import changes needed
│
▼
[4] Check for circular dependencies
│
▼
[5] Generate move plan**Output:**
## Move: UserService → src/services/user.rs
### Current Location
src/handlers/auth.rs:50-120
### Dependencies (will be moved together)
- struct UserService (50-80)
- impl UserService (82-120)
- const DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (48)
### Import Changes Required
| File | Current | New |
|------|---------|-----|
| src/main.rs | `use handlers::auth::UserService` | `use services::user::UserService` |
| src/handlers/api.rs | `use super::auth::UserService` | `use crate::services::user::UserService` |
| tests/auth_test.rs | `use crate::handlers::auth::UserService` | `use crate::services::user::UserService` |
### New File Structure
```
src/
├── services/
│ ├── mod.rs (NEW - add `pub mod user;`)
│ └── user.rs (NEW - UserService moved here)
├── handlers/
│ └── auth.rs (UserService removed)
```
### Circular Dependency Check
✅ No circular dependencies detected
Safety Checks
| Check | Purpose | |-------|---------| | Reference completeness | Ensure all uses are found | | Name conflicts | Detect existing symbols with same name | | Visibility changes | Warn if pub/private scope changes | | Macro-generated code | Warn about code in macros | | Documentation | Flag doc comments mentioning symbol | | Test coverage | Show affected tests |
Dry Run Mode
Always use `--dry-run` first to preview changes:
/rust-refactor-helper rename old_name new_name --dry-run
This shows all changes without applying them.
