Question about automating archive extraction in Hazel

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to use Hazel to automatically extract ZIP/RAR files when they appear in a folder, then move or rename the extracted contents. Basic extraction works, but I’m not sure about the best way to handle renaming and cleanup reliably.

Should this be done with multiple rules, or is there a simple workflow that works well?
Any tips or examples would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can you provide concrete examples of the renaming you want to do?
