Does it handle Git operations automatically?

The tool modifies the files on your local disk; you are responsible for reviewing the changes and committing them to your version control system.

Can I preview changes before they are applied?

Yes, the tool supports a --dry-run flag that allows you to see all intended file and directory changes without actually modifying them.

Do I need to provide the full path to the skill?

No, the script is designed to auto-detect the full folder name even if you only provide the short name of the skill.

Which files does the renamer scan for references?

It scans and updates SKILL.md files, JSON configs, .claude-plugin metadata, and Python scripts across the entire repository.

Developer Tools

Automates the renaming of Claude skills by updating directory names and all internal references across a repository.

About

Skill Renamer is a specialized utility designed for developers managing a Claude skill marketplace or repository. It streamlines the refactoring process by automatically updating a skill's name in its metadata, renaming its host directory, and performing a global search-and-replace for references within configuration files, Python scripts, and markdown documentation. This ensures structural consistency and prevents broken links when evolving project naming conventions or fixing typos.
