Recipe Batch Rename Files
If you're managing Google Drive files with inconsistent names, this gives you a straightforward workflow to fix them in batches. It uses the gws-drive skill to search by pattern, rename matches one at a time, then verify the changes. The approach is manual enough that you'll want to use it for small to moderate batches, not thousands of files. What's nice is the flexibility: you can filter with any Google Drive query syntax, so you're not locked into basic name matching. It's essentially a recipe that strings together the right gws commands rather than a fully automated script, which means you stay in control of each rename but also do more of the work yourself.
