Safe refactoring workflow using trace-mcp — assess risk, find candidates, check impact, and rename symbols across all files without missing import sites or cross-file references.

Use trace-mcp tools for code navigation, impact analysis, and framework-aware queries instead of Read/Grep/Glob/Bash. Activate whenever the agent needs to explore, understand, or modify a codebase that has trace-mcp indexed.

Use trace-mcp apply_codemod for any bulk mechanical change instead of repeated Edit calls. Activate whenever the same edit pattern would be applied 2+ times, across one file or many.

Run trace-mcp security, quality-gate, and antipattern checks before committing or opening a PR. Activate when the agent is about to create a commit or pull request in a project indexed by trace-mcp.
