Use it when refactoring code with .grace artifacts and scope checks. **Install:** ```bash npx degit https://github.com/osovv/grace-marketplace/tree/main/skills/grace/grace-refactor ~/.claude/skills/grace-refactor ``` ## README Use this for rename, move, split, merge, extraction, or boundary cleanup work. Greenfield feature work should go through `grace-spec`, `grace-plan`, and `grace-execute`. - Resolve affected `M-*`, `DF-*`, and `V-M-*` anchors through `.grace/graph/index.xml` and `.grace/verification/index.xml`. - Check active `.grace/changes` for scope overlap before editing. - Preserve or update file-local `LINKS:`, module contracts, function contracts, and semantic blocks. - Update durable graph and verification artifacts only when the refactor intentionally changes boundaries, paths, or evidence. - Run targeted tests and `grace lint --path ` when available.
