file-naming（文件命名）

Rename Files

Analyze files and propose intelligent renames based on content type and metadata. Provide: a single file path, list of file paths, or folder path.

Naming Conventions

Transactional/Periodic Documents

Repetitive transactions (orders, receipts, invoices, appointments):

• Format: YYYY-MM-DD Category Type - Details.extension
• Example: 2025-06-13 Amazon Order 123-456 - USB Cable.pdf
• Include: dates, entity names, order/invoice numbers, item descriptions

Periodic documents (statements, bills, forms):

• Format: YYYY-MM Type - Entity.extension
• Example: 2025-06 Bank Statement - Chase Checking.pdf
• Example: 2023-12 W2 - Acme Corp.pdf

Ongoing agreements (contracts, policies):

• Format: YYYY-MM Type - Entity.extension
• Example: 2025-01 Service Agreement - Internet Provider.pdf

Appointments/visits:

• Format: YYYY-MM-DD Type - Provider/Location.extension
• Example: 2025-06-13 Dental Visit - Dr Johnson.pdf

Creative/Project Files

Date as supplementary (photos, projects, creative work):

• Format: Description - Date.extension or Description - Context Date.extension
• Example: Vacation Photos - Hawaii 2025.jpg
• Example: Website Redesign - Draft 2025-06.pdf
• Example: Company Logo 2025.png

Evergreen content (manuals, references):

• Format: Type - Name/Description.extension
• Example: Product Manual - Widget Pro.pdf

Key Principles

• ISO 8601 dates: YYYY-MM-DD (specific dates) or YYYY-MM (monthly/annual)
• Date placement: Start for time-critical sorting; end for contextual info
• Remove: Technical metadata (1080p, WEB-DL), problematic characters (:*?"<>|#%&)
• Keep: Scannable and sortable filenames

Process

1. Analyze files using OCR, text extraction, vision analysis, filename patterns
2. Build the complete rename plan before taking any action
3. Validate the plan: if any file cannot be mapped to a destination name, stop and report — do not proceed with partial results
4. Validate the plan: confirm no two files share a destination name — if any collision exists, stop and report
5. Present preview table: "Original Filename" | "New Filename" (show up to 15 files if many present; note any that couldn't be analyzed)
6. Wait for confirmation before executing
7. Execute using no-clobber semantics — never overwrite an existing file; if a collision occurs at execution time, halt immediately

If content unclear: make best guess from filename, clean up existing name, or leave unchanged with note.
