 ### Advanced Configuration
 
-You may want to do more than just pick a basic color for your output. **chalk** offers a variety of different options, and can be configured via `defineType()`. **Chronicle** exposes the chalk instance via `chalk()` so that you don't have to import **chalk** directly into your project. Here is an example of how you can use this method to fully customize your log color setting:

+log.defineType('critical', log.chalk().bold.red);
+log.critical('This is a critical error');
 ```
 
 Additionally, any [configuration](#configuration) that can be set during instantiation, can also be applied exclusively to any given type by passing in a third **options** parameter.

 // params: type, setting, options

 ```
 
 `defineType()` can also be used as an alternative to populating the `additionalLogs` setting in the constructor, as if the setting doesn't already exist, it will then be created.
 
+### Dynamic File Names
+
+The `filename` option supports template variables that are resolved at write-time, allowing each log type to produce uniquely named files.
+
+#### Supported Variables
+
+| Variable | Resolves To | Example Output |
+| :---: | :--- | :--- |
+| `{date}` | Current date in YYYY-MM-DD format | `2026-04-04` |
+| `{type}` | Log type name | `error` |
+| `{pid}` | Current process ID | `12345` |
+| `{hostname}` | Machine hostname | `my-server` |
+
+#### Examples
+
+```js
+// Per-type filename via defineType
+log.defineType('error', 'red', { filename: 'error-{date}.log' });
+// writes to: logs/error-2026-04-04.log
+
+// Per-type filename with multiple variables
+log.defineType('info', 'cyan', { filename: '{type}-{hostname}-{date}.log' });
+// writes to: logs/info-my-server-2026-04-04.log
+
+// Global filename template via constructor
+const log = new Log({ filename: '{type}-{date}.log' });
+// all types write to: logs/<type>-2026-04-04.log
+```
+
+When no `filename` is configured, the default behavior of `{type}.log` is preserved for full backward compatibility.
+
+Path traversal characters (`..`, `/`, `\`) are automatically stripped from resolved file names for security.
+
 ## Origin
 
-As a team of developers who are constantly working on side projects, we often litter our codebase with TODOs to refactor convenience utils such as **chronicle** into classes of their own, or projects of their own. This usually turns into internal tech debt that never gets addressed. Furthermore, we also often find ourselves going the *copy -> paste -> modify* route of previously written useful logic, which saves us time in new projects, but not as much as it would if all we had to do was run an `npm install` instead.
