Move Skills To New Nameconvention License En

move-skills-to-new-nameconvention-license-en

Renames all agent skills in a repository and sets license: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in every SKILL.md frontmatter (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International — https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en).

Prerequisites — done manually by you before running this skill:

• Feature branch already created and checked out
• New LICENSE file already added to the repo root

This skill only does:

• Rename each skill folder with the postfix
• Update name: in each SKILL.md
• Upsert license: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in each SKILL.md frontmatter
• Commit the result

Reentrant: Excludes itself from renaming. Skips folders already ending with $POSTFIX. Safe to run multiple times.

Inputs

The license value written into every SKILL.md is fixed:

license: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Steps

1. Validate inputs

cd "$REPO_PATH"
git status || { echo "ERROR: Not a git repository: $REPO_PATH"; exit 1; }
[ -n "$POSTFIX" ] || { echo "ERROR: POSTFIX must not be empty"; exit 1; }
[ -d "$REPO_PATH/skills" ] || { echo "ERROR: No skills/ directory found in repo"; exit 1; }

echo "Current branch: $(git branch --show-current)"
echo "Working on: $REPO_PATH"

2. Define the license upsert helper

Define this before the main loop:

LICENSE_VALUE="CC BY-NC-SA 4.0"

_upsert_license() {
  local FILE="$1"

  if grep -q "^license:" "$FILE"; then
    # Replace existing license line — no-op if already correct
    sed -i.bak "s|^license:.*|license: ${LICENSE_VALUE}|" "$FILE"
  else
    # Insert license: after the description: line
    sed -i.bak "/^description:/a\\
license: ${LICENSE_VALUE}" "$FILE"
  fi
  rm -f "${FILE}.bak"
  echo "  license: → ${LICENSE_VALUE}"
}

macOS note: BSD sed -i requires the .bak suffix — it is removed immediately.

3. Process each skill folder

SELF="move-skills-to-new-nameconvention-license-en"

cd "$REPO_PATH/skills"

for SKILL_DIR in */; do
  SKILL_DIR="${SKILL_DIR%/}"

  [ -d "$SKILL_DIR" ] || continue

  # Guard 1: self — skip rename, still update license
  if [ "$SKILL_DIR" = "$SELF" ]; then
    echo "SKIP rename (self): $SKILL_DIR"
    [ -f "$SKILL_DIR/SKILL.md" ] && _upsert_license "$SKILL_DIR/SKILL.md"
    continue
  fi

  # Guard 2: already has postfix — skip rename, still update license
  if [[ "$SKILL_DIR" == *"$POSTFIX" ]]; then
    echo "SKIP rename (already has postfix): $SKILL_DIR"
    [ -f "$SKILL_DIR/SKILL.md" ] && _upsert_license "$SKILL_DIR/SKILL.md"
    continue
  fi

  NEW_NAME="${SKILL_DIR}${POSTFIX}"

  # Rename folder
  git mv "$SKILL_DIR" "$NEW_NAME"
  echo "Renamed: $SKILL_DIR → $NEW_NAME"

  SKILL_MD="$NEW_NAME/SKILL.md"
  if [ -f "$SKILL_MD" ]; then
    # Update name: field (no-op if already updated)
    sed -i.bak "s/^name: ${SKILL_DIR}$/name: ${NEW_NAME}/" "$SKILL_MD"
    rm -f "${SKILL_MD}.bak"
    echo "  name: ${SKILL_DIR} → ${NEW_NAME}"
    _upsert_license "$SKILL_MD"
  else
    echo "  WARNING: No SKILL.md found in $NEW_NAME"
  fi
done

4. Commit

cd "$REPO_PATH"
git add skills/

if ! git diff --cached --quiet; then
  git commit -m "chore: rename skills with postfix '${POSTFIX}', set license CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

- Appended '${POSTFIX}' to all skill folder names and name fields
- Set license: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in all SKILL.md frontmatters
- Excluded self: ${SELF} (license field still updated)
- Reentrant: already-renamed skills were skipped"
else
  echo "Nothing to commit — already up to date."
fi

5. Verify

echo ""
echo "=== Summary ==="
echo "Branch : $(git branch --show-current)"
echo ""
echo "Skills:"
ls "$REPO_PATH/skills/"
echo ""
echo "Sample frontmatter (first skill):"
head -6 "$REPO_PATH/skills/$(ls "$REPO_PATH/skills/" | head -1)/SKILL.md"
echo ""
git log -1 --stat

Reentrant behaviour

Example run (first time, POSTFIX=-en)

Current branch: feature/rename-skills-en-cc-by-nc-sa
SKIP rename (self): move-skills-to-new-nameconvention-license-en
  license: → CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Renamed: create-skill-proxy → create-skill-proxy-en
  name: create-skill-proxy → create-skill-proxy-en
  license: → CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Renamed: another-skill → another-skill-en
  name: another-skill → another-skill-en
  license: → CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

[feature/rename-skills-en-cc-by-nc-sa abc1234] chore: rename skills ...

Example run (second time — reentrant)

Current branch: feature/rename-skills-en-cc-by-nc-sa
SKIP rename (self): move-skills-to-new-nameconvention-license-en
  license: → CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
SKIP rename (already has postfix): create-skill-proxy-en
  license: → CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
SKIP rename (already has postfix): another-skill-en
