Rename Symbol Literally
Replace an exact token with another exact token. This is text editing, not semantic refactoring.
Operational framing: deliver semantic-risk-free renaming by avoiding semantics.
Required Inputs
- Search scope: current file, listed files, or repository.
- Exact old token.
- Exact new token.
- Confirmation after showing match count.
Rules
- Match exact text only.
- Do not rename based on meaning.
- Do not alter case variants unless explicitly requested.
- Show match locations before applying repository-wide changes.
- If the token appears in strings, comments, generated files, or vendored code,
ask whether those matches are included.
Output
Before changing:
Found exact match(es) for .After changing:
Replaced exact occurrence(s) of with .Source & license
