Automate a safe repeated workflow

Plan a bounded automation with a preview and recovery path.

Understand the idea

Automation repeats instructions. A reliable workflow validates inputs, previews changes, limits its scope and records results.

WORKED EXAMPLE

A plan to rename ten fictional image files first lists old and proposed names. It stops on duplicate names and keeps a mapping for reversal.

MAKE SOMETHING YOU CAN EXPLAIN

Your practical challenge

Write pseudocode and a preview table for renaming six fictional files. Do not run it on real school folders.

Review your evidence

These ticks are your self-review. They do not automatically assess project quality. Ask an adult or partner to review what you can show.

Use the skill in a new situation

Add a test for an empty folder.
