SKILL-002: Project-Wide Rename

Overview

Renaming a complex .NET solution is error-prone. This skill automates the process of renaming files, directories, text content, and git configuration, with safety mechanisms to prevent data loss.

Trigger Phrases

• rename project <old> <new>
• safe rename <old> to <new>
• fix pending rename

Inputs

Modes

1. Planned Mode: Requires a clean git status. Best for starting a rename operation from scratch.
2. Recovery Mode: Allows dirty git status. Best for finishing a partial rename or cleaning up a manual attempt.

Outputs

1. Console Output: Progress log of renamed files and updated content.
2. Report: RENAME_SUMMARY.md with list of changes.
3. Git Branch: rename-<old>-to-<new> containing the changes.

Preconditions

1. Git repository root.
2. .NET SDK installed (for build verification).
3. Permissions to modify all files.

Safety/QA Checks

1. Exclusions: Ignores bin, obj, .git, node_modules.
2. Build Check: optional verification build after rename.
3. Rollback: Ability to git reset --hard if something goes wrong.

Implementation

See rename_project.ps1.
