rename

rename is a skill for Claude Code from FrankFMY/buddy-evolution. It costs 31 tokens per session (224 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A buddy renaming tool that changes only the companion’s name in its local profile. It accepts any name the user provides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view the current name, choose a new one, and save the change for the next session.
Why use it?
It avoids manually editing the profile and helps prevent other buddy settings from being changed accidentally. It also explains what to do if the profile does not exist.

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

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 6d 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

Rename Buddy

Let the user rename their companion.

Instructions

  1. Read ~/.buddy-evolution/soul.json
  2. Show the current name: "Your buddy is currently named {name} the {species}."
  3. Ask the user: "What would you like to name them?"
  4. When the user responds with a new name, edit ~/.buddy-evolution/soul.json — change the identity.name field to the new name
  5. Confirm: "Renamed {oldName}{newName}! Your {species} will respond to their new name starting next session."

Rules

  • Only change the name field in identity — do not modify any other fields
  • Accept any name the user provides (it's their buddy)
  • If the file doesn't exist, tell the user to start a new session first

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.
