A batch file-renaming tool that can add, remove, or replace filename text and update wiki links to match.

Use it to rename groups of project, meeting, task, or other files, preview changes first, and keep internal links current.

It avoids repetitive renaming and helps prevent links from breaking when filenames change.

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.

Per session 0 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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	$0.00953
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00477
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00191
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00095

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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/rename

Batch rename files matching a pattern, with automatic wiki-link updates.

Usage

/rename <pattern> --remove-prefix "<prefix>"
/rename <pattern> --add-prefix "<prefix>"
/rename <pattern> --replace "<old>" "<new>"
/rename type:<type> --remove-prefix "<prefix>"
/rename --dry-run <any of above>

Examples

/rename "Person - *.md" --remove-prefix "Person - "
/rename type:Person --remove-prefix "Person - "
/rename "Meeting - *.md" --replace "Meeting -" "Mtg -"
/rename "Task - *.md" --add-prefix "TODO - "
/rename --dry-run type:Person --remove-prefix "Person - "

Instructions

Parse the command for:
- pattern: Glob pattern or type:<type> to match files
- operation: One of:
  - --remove-prefix "<prefix>": Remove prefix from filenames
  - --add-prefix "<prefix>": Add prefix to filenames
  - --replace "<old>" "<new>": Replace text in filenames
- --dry-run: Preview changes without applying them
Find matching files:
- If glob pattern: Use Glob tool to find matching files
- If type:<type>: Search for files with that frontmatter type
- Exclude templates, MOCs, and special files
Calculate new names:
- Apply the requested transformation
- Sanitise filenames (remove invalid characters)
- Check for conflicts with existing files
- Handle duplicates by adding suffix

Preview changes (always show first):

Files to rename: 45

Examples:
  Person - Jane Doe.md → Jane Doe.md
  Person - Sarah Jones.md → Sarah Jones.md
  ...

Proceed? (yes/no)

Update wiki-links (critical step):
- Search all vault files for links to renamed files
- Update [[Old Name]] → [[New Name]]
- Update [[Old Name|alias]] → [[New Name|alias]]
- Handle both with and without .md extension
Perform renames:
- Rename files using git mv (preserves history)
- Report success/failure for each file
- Summarise total changes

Post-rename report:

Renamed: 45 files
Links updated: 127 references in 34 files
Errors: 0

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.

rename is a skill published in the GitHub repository DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB (52 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 953 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
