What it does

Rename is an agent skill from EmertonData/glide. Executes a full renaming task in the GLIDE codebase — renaming a class, function, parameter, module, sampler/estimator/monitor, or concept (e.g. PPIMeanMonitor → EmpiricalPPRM, clusterppi.py → clusteredppi.py, ntotal → nsamples). Use whenever the user says "rename X to Y", asks to rename a class/function/parameter/module/file, or describes a renaming ticket from the GitHub Projects board — even for a rename that looks trivial, since a bare find-and-replace reliably misses variable names, plot labels, notebook…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/pr-history-examples.md`).

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Helping humans ride the GenAI evaluation wave.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says rename X to Y
  • Asks to rename a class/function/parameter/module/file
  • Describes a renaming ticket from the GitHub Projects board — even for a rename that looks trivial
  • Since a bare find-and-replace reliably misses variable names

Example prompts

  • “rename X to Y”
  • “Use the rename skill to execute a full renaming task in the GLIDE codebase — renaming a class, function, parameter, module…”
  • “/rename”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pin down every rename before touching code
  2. Rename the core implementation first
  3. Find every affected file, then fan out across them in parallel
  4. Mandatory second-pass verification
  5. Run the quality gates
  6. Done, and close the loop for next time

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21a9553. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make
    • rg
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rename loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,339 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,339 words (~2,478 tokens).

“See references/pr-history-examples.md for concrete before/after snippets of the categories of stray reference described in Step 3 — useful as a sanity check for what "stray" looks like in practice.”

Questions about Rename

What does Rename do?

Executes a full renaming task in the GLIDE codebase — renaming a class, function, parameter, module, sampler/estimator/monitor, or concept (e.g. Rename is an agent skill from EmertonData/glide.g.

When should I use Rename?

Rename fits situations like: the user says rename X to Y; asks to rename a class/function/parameter/module/file; describes a renaming ticket from the GitHub Projects board — even for a rename that looks trivial; since a bare find-and-replace reliably misses variable names.

How do I install Rename in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill rename -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/rename in EmertonData/glide) into .claude/skills/rename in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Rename in Codex?

Run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill rename -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/rename in EmertonData/glide) into .agents/skills/rename in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Rename in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill rename -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/rename, .gemini/skills/rename, .github/skills/rename and .opencode/skills/rename in your project.

What does Rename need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Rename needs the command-line tools its instructions call (make, rg and git).

Does Rename access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Rename safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Rename use?

Rename has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Rename use?

About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Rename?

The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
