A command that plans and performs media-file renames using Plex naming conventions. Plex is a media library application that expects consistent movie and TV episode paths.

Organising movie and TV files, previewing proposed changes, validating them, and copying or moving files into Plex-ready locations.

It removes the manual work of identifying media, creating folders, and choosing consistent filenames while offering preview and dry-run checks.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00643
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00321
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00129
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00064

Security

Grade A, and why

rename scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/videodrome:rename - Preview and Execute Rename Plan

Generates and executes renaming plans to organize media files according to Plex naming conventions.

Usage

/videodrome:rename <source_path> [--preview] [--execute] [--dry-run]

Arguments

source_path (required): File or directory to rename
--preview (optional): Show proposed renames without executing (default)
--execute (optional): Execute the rename plan
--dry-run (optional): Validate rename operations without modifying files

Examples

/videodrome:rename /data/ingest/new_movie.mkv --preview
/videodrome:rename /data/ingest/season1 --execute
/videodrome:rename /data/ingest --dry-run

What it does

Preview Mode (default)

Identifies media using guessit + TMDb
Constructs Plex-compliant paths:
- Movies: /Movies/Title (Year)/Title (Year) - Quality.ext
- TV: /TV Shows/Title/Season 01/Title - S01E01 - Episode.ext
Shows before/after paths
Displays confidence scores

Execute Mode

Validates all paths are within PLEX_MEDIA_ROOT
Checks file extensions against whitelist
Creates destination directories
Copies or moves files to new locations
Logs operations to ingest history
Optionally triggers library scan

Dry-run Mode

Simulates all operations
Validates paths and permissions
Reports what would happen without changes

Safety Classification

Write Operation - Requires confirmation before execution.

Renaming moves files on disk. Preview and dry-run modes are read-only, but --execute modifies the filesystem.

MCP Tools Used

preview_rename(source: str) - Generate rename plan (read-only)
execute_naming_plan(plan: dict) - Execute renames (write)
batch_identify(directory: str) - Identify multiple files

Output

Preview output:

Rename Plan for: /data/ingest/new_movies/

[1] The.Matrix.1999.mkv
    -> /Movies/The Matrix (1999)/The Matrix (1999) - 1080p BluRay.mkv
    Confidence: 0.95 ✓

[2] some.random.file.avi
    -> SKIPPED (confidence 0.45 - too low)

Summary: 1 file ready, 1 skipped

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
