coding.rename

A codebase-wide renaming task for files, functions, and variables, including their uses in source code, notebooks, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rename project objects, update callers and imports, revise text documentation, and run relevant tests when needed.
Why use it?
It keeps references and imports correct after a name changes, reducing broken code and outdated documentation.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

coding.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 2d 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.

What it actually says

I will give a list of files, functions, variable to rename in a codebase

In TODO: -> means rename

For files use git mv

Make sure to update all the references to those objects in the code base

  • E.g., for files, look for and update imports

  • E.g., for functions, find the callers in notebooks ipynb, Python files, and other files and update those references

  • Update documentation in txt and md files

  • If needed, run corresponding unit tests to make sure the code works

  • For Python code follow the rules in .claude/skills/coding.rules.md

  • For Python code with unit tests, follow the rules in the rules from .claude/skills/testing.format/SKILL.md

Changes

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.
