second-brain-rename

Rename a page safely: update the file, fix every inbound wikilink, add the old name as an alias, and log it. Use this skill whenever a page needs a different canonical title, the user says "rename X to Y", asks to fix an inconsistent title, or after a lint run flags naming problems. Do NOT use for merging two pages, for moving a page between folders without a name change, or for renaming files outside the wiki.

Rename a page

An agent renaming a file directly is the single most common source of broken links in an agent-maintained vault. Obsidian fixes links when you rename inside the app; writing the file directly does not.

Core rule

A rename is four operations, not one. All four, or none.

Workflow

  1. Check the new name against existing pages and aliases. A rename that collides with an existing alias creates ambiguity the graph cannot resolve.
  2. Rename the file and update the title in frontmatter.
  3. Add the old title to aliases. This keeps external references, the user's memory, and any link you miss working.
  4. Update every inbound link. Search the whole vault, including index.md.
  5. Log it: old name, new name, links updated.
  6. Verify with a link check.

Output format

Renamed: [[old]] -> [[new]]
Inbound links updated: <n> across <n> pages
Alias added: <old>
Remaining references: <none | list>

Calibration

Do not rename to fix a style preference on a page with many inbound links. The cost is real and the benefit is cosmetic.

If the correct name is genuinely ambiguous, ask rather than picking. A second rename is more disruptive than the first.

Audit an agent's context layout against the four places: system prompt, tools, history, tail. Use when the user asks to audit, review or fix their agent's context, prompt caching, token spend per turn, or CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md layout. Read-only: reports findings and a fix list, changes nothing. Do NOT use for writing evals (evals-bootstrap) or for loop design (goal-test).

Scaffold a first eval suite for an agent: mine real failures into cases, write behavioural checks over traces, and generate the runner. Use when the user wants evals, regression tests for an agent, a golden set, or asks how to know a prompt/model change did not break things. Do NOT use for a single task's done-check (goal-test) or for auditing context (context-audit).

Find the decisions in a pipeline that do not need the expensive model and propose the gate for each: a rule, a classic classifier, or a small model, with fail-closed routing. Use when the user asks to cut model costs or latency, says the big model handles everything, or wants a triage / routing / filter layer in front of an agent. Analysis plus an optional baseline scaffold. Do NOT use for auditing context layout (context-audit) or for building eval suites (evals-bootstrap).

Turn a vague task into a testable definition of done and generate an executable goal-test script for it, optionally with a bounded retry loop around a headless agent. Use when the user wants to run an agent in a loop, asks how to know when an agent task is finished, or says a goal like "improve X" needs to become checkable. Do NOT use for building eval suites over many cases — that is evals-bootstrap.

Audit an agent's harness against the four rings: containment, guides, sensors, permissions. Use when the user asks whether their agent setup is safe, wants a review of sandboxing / permissions / hooks / AGENTS.md guardrails, or asks what a bad session could break. Read-only: reports the blast radius and a hardening list, changes nothing. Do NOT use for context layout (context-audit) or cost routing (gate-check).

Import a large archive into the vault in controlled batches: triage what is worth ingesting, process oldest first, checkpoint after every batch, and keep cost visible. Use this skill whenever the user wants to import years of bookmarks, an export from another notes app, a downloads folder, a chat history dump, or says "backfill", "bulk import", "process my archive". Do NOT use for ingesting one or a few new sources, which is second-brain-ingest.
