Intelligent File Renamer

Batch rename files using pattern matching and AI suggestions

Security Scan

The skill's code and instructions match its stated purpose (batch file renaming), but there are implementation issues and missing safety checks that could lead to data loss or unexpected file moves — review and test carefully before use.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, SKILL.md and the included smart_renamer.js are coherent: they implement batch file renaming rules, preview, apply, and undo. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or external services are requested.

Instruction Scope

The instructions and code operate directly on filesystem directories and create a .rename-history.json file in the target directory (expected). However the implementation does not sanitize or validate resulting filenames: user-supplied inputs (prefix/suffix/replace/extension) can include path separators or absolute paths, enabling moves outside the target directory or overwriting files. The 'sequence' rule disregards original filenames and may produce name collisions. The preview command limits output to 20 files, so large-scale unintended effects could be missed if only previewed briefly.

Install Mechanism

No install spec; skill is instruction-only with a bundled Node.js script. No remote downloads or third-party package installs are invoked by the skill bundle itself.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or unrelated config paths are requested. The skill only requires local filesystem access to the directories you target (which is necessary for its purpose).

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request global persistence and always:false. It writes a .rename-history.json into the target directory to support undo — this is expected, but users should be aware the history file contains rename mappings and is stored alongside their files.

What to consider before installing

This skill generally does what it says, but the implementation lacks safety checks. Before installing or running 'apply': - Run the preview command and verify results on a representative sample and in a test directory. - Back up important files or work on a copy of the directory first. - Inspect smart_renamer.js yourself (or have someone you trust review it). Pay attention to: prefix/suffix/replace/extension inputs (they are not sanitized and can include ../ or absolute paths), the replace rule uses new RegExp(find,'g') with raw input (could throw on invalid regex), and the sequence rule ignores original names and can produce collisions. - Prefer using preview and undo to validate behavior; check the .rename-history.json after apply to confirm mappings. If you are not comfortable auditing Node scripts, avoid running 'apply' on irreplaceable data or run the tool in a safe sandboxed environment.
