file-naming

file-naming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nweii/agent-stuff. It costs 48 tokens per session (706 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file-renaming guide that examines a file's contents and details, then suggests a clearer name using rules for documents, photos, and project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rename one file, several files, or a whole folder, including receipts, invoices, statements, appointments, contracts, photos, and creative work.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of sorting downloads and makes files easier to find. It also helps keep names consistent across a folder or collection.

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

file-naming 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 4d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rename Files

Analyze files and propose intelligent renames based on content type and metadata. Provide: a single file path, list of file paths, or folder path.

Naming Conventions

Transactional/Periodic Documents

Repetitive transactions (orders, receipts, invoices, appointments):

  • Format: YYYY-MM-DD Category Type - Details.extension
  • Example: 2025-06-13 Amazon Order 123-456 - USB Cable.pdf
  • Include: dates, entity names, order/invoice numbers, item descriptions

Periodic documents (statements, bills, forms):

  • Format: YYYY-MM Type - Entity.extension
  • Example: 2025-06 Bank Statement - Chase Checking.pdf
  • Example: 2023-12 W2 - Acme Corp.pdf

Ongoing agreements (contracts, policies):

  • Format: YYYY-MM Type - Entity.extension
  • Example: 2025-01 Service Agreement - Internet Provider.pdf

Appointments/visits:

  • Format: YYYY-MM-DD Type - Provider/Location.extension
  • Example: 2025-06-13 Dental Visit - Dr Johnson.pdf

Creative/Project Files

Date as supplementary (photos, projects, creative work):

  • Format: Description - Date.extension or Description - Context Date.extension
  • Example: Vacation Photos - Hawaii 2025.jpg
  • Example: Website Redesign - Draft 2025-06.pdf
  • Example: Company Logo 2025.png

Evergreen content (manuals, references):

  • Format: Type - Name/Description.extension
  • Example: Product Manual - Widget Pro.pdf

Key Principles

  • ISO 8601 dates: YYYY-MM-DD (specific dates) or YYYY-MM (monthly/annual)
  • Date placement: Start for time-critical sorting; end for contextual info
  • Remove: Technical metadata (1080p, WEB-DL), problematic characters (:*?"<>|#%&)
  • Keep: Scannable and sortable filenames

Process

  1. Analyze files using OCR, text extraction, vision analysis, filename patterns
  2. Build the complete rename plan before taking any action
  3. Validate the plan: if any file cannot be mapped to a destination name, stop and report — do not proceed with partial results
  4. Validate the plan: confirm no two files share a destination name — if any collision exists, stop and report
  5. Present preview table: "Original Filename" | "New Filename" (show up to 15 files if many present; note any that couldn't be analyzed)
  6. Wait for confirmation before executing
  7. Execute using no-clobber semantics — never overwrite an existing file; if a collision occurs at execution time, halt immediately

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.

file-naming is a skill published in the GitHub repository nweii/agent-stuff (8 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 706 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
