if u want to rename the current project u could use the FirstSelectedProject value provider to get the selected project, use a wizard and gather the new name then execute the RenameProjectAction. they're all out of the box in the assembly

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library. e.g.

<Argument Name="CurrentProject" Type="EnvDTE.Project, EnvDTE, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a">

<ValueProvider Type="Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library.ValueProviders.FirstSelectedProject, Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

</Argument>
