Individual skill
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.
