What is coding.rename?

A codebase-wide renaming task for files, functions, and variables, including the places that refer to them. It can also update text and Markdown documentation.

Use it to rename Python files or code objects safely and update references in source files, notebooks, and documentation.

It prevents broken imports, callers, and documentation after a name changes. It checks for leftover uses of the old name and runs relevant unit tests.

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	$0.00011	$0.00230
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00092
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00046
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00023

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 yesterday.

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

Goal

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

In TODO: -> <NEW_NAME> the -> means rename
For files use git mv

Workflow

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

Conventions

For Python code follow the rules in .claude/skills/coding.rules.md
For Python code with unit tests, follow the rules in .claude/skills/testing.rules.md

Verification

Grep the codebase to confirm no references to the old name remain
Run the corresponding unit tests to confirm nothing broke

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.
