File-renaming script

Plan a small script that renames files in one folder by a clear rule, with a preview before anything changes.

Opens the planner with this template filled in. Nothing is saved unless you choose to.Carries the template guidance into the prompt helper in this tab. An existing prompt asks before replacement. Use Copy outline to include your answers.

Guidance only — opening a template runs nothing, saves nothing and grants no permission.

Suits

  • People who rename batches of photos, scans or exports by hand
  • Beginners writing a first useful script

Result

Describe the folder, the naming rule and the safety checks so an AI assistant can write a script that previews every change and never overwrites a file.

Example outcome — the renaming rule in plain words, a dry-run preview table (old name → new name), the safety rules, and the command to run it on a test folder. This is an example plan, not a script that has been run.

Steps

  1. Copy a few real files into a test folder, and never point the first runs at the originals.
  2. Write the naming rule with three before-and-after examples, including an awkward one.
  3. Require a preview mode that lists every change and changes nothing.
  4. Add the safety rules: never overwrite, skip unreadable files, and write a log of what changed.
  5. Ask the assistant for the script, run the preview and check it, and only then run it for real on the test folder.

Checks

  • The preview lists every planned change and changes nothing.
  • No existing file is ever overwritten.
  • The script only touches the folder it was given.
  • A log records each old and new name.

Limits

  • Running the script is your decision and happens on your computer, not on this site.
  • Renaming cannot always be undone unless the script writes a log you can reverse.
  • This is planning guidance: it does not build, publish, send, or run anything.
Before you start
  • A computer where you are allowed to run scripts
  • A backup or copy of the files before any real run
Permissions
  • None. This template does not request filesystem, network, shell, secret, or account access.
