description	Rename camera photos in place using EXIF metadata and the embedded filename number.

Auto Name Pics

Use this skill when you need to rename photo files in place from their EXIF metadata.

Workflow

1. Read the camera model from EXIF metadata.
2. Read the photo capture date from EXIF metadata.
3. Extract the camera-specific number source.
4. Rename the file in place using the camera-specific pattern.

Rules

• Do not modify image contents.
• Do not move files to another directory.
• Preserve the original extension.
• DJI drones use DJI <six-digit filename number> YYYYMMDD.
• Ricoh GR IV uses GR-IV-<six-digit filename number> YYYYMMDD.
• Nikon Z f uses Zf_<file number from EXIF> YYYYMMDD.
• Nikon Z 6_2 / Z6-II uses Z6_2_<file number from EXIF> YYYYMMDD.
• Format the Ricoh embedded number as six digits with leading zeroes when needed.

Implementation

• The script requires Python 3.
• The script depends on exiftool being installed and available on PATH.
• For macOS, install ExifTool so exiftool runs from Terminal. If /usr/local/bin is not already on PATH, add it. For Windows, install the executable version, rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe, and place exiftool.exe plus exiftool_files in a folder on PATH.
• Supported camera families currently include DJI drones, Ricoh GR IV, Nikon Z f, and Nikon Z 6_2 / Z6-II.
• DJI detection also covers common DJI EXIF model codes that do not literally include the string DJI.
• Skill UI metadata lives in agents/openai.yaml.
