<skill> <scope> 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`. </scope>

<must_do>

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 <project-root> when available. </must_do> </skill>
