★☆☆ Beginner 5-10 min January 12, 2026
📋
Scenario
I have hundreds of files with messy names and want to uniformly rename them based on content and date.
💬
Prompt
Rename all files in this folder using this pattern: YYYY-MM-DD_client_topic - Extract the date from file content or metadata - Identify the client name from the document - Summarize the topic in 2-3 words - Create a report of all changes made
✨
Expected Result
Claude analyzes each file's content, extracts key information, applies naming rules, and generates a change report. Supports intelligent categorization based on file extension, content description, or metadata.
💡
Tips
- • Provide clear naming patterns (date, client, topic, etc.)
- • Can request a before/after comparison table
- • Test on copies first for important files
