Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.
Use when naming or renaming anything another reader will meet later: a file, a directory, a report or document, a scratch artifact, a variable, function, type, constant, branch, or commit subject. Fires before writing any new file, whenever a name is about to carry a generic stem, a number, a date, a version word, an acronym, or a codename, and when reviewing names in a diff. Exists to stop one failure: names that only decode for someone who was in the session.
Install
npx vskill@latest install uraxii/dotai/principle-namingSKILL.md
Every name
- Say what the thing IS and its effect. Not mechanism, metaphor, timing.
- No structure filler as identity: manager, controller, handler, helper, util, service, wrapper, data, info, object, item.
- No scheduling word as identity: deferred, pending, delayed, async, lazy.
- One word per concept, one concept per word. Two different things named
reportin one tree -> one is wrong. - Descriptiveness scale with reach. Three-line loop counter may be
i. Filename, directory, export, committed document: full words.
Filesystem names
- Subject plus kind, two elements minimum.
naming-research-findings.md, notfindings.md. - Series artifact (session log, decision record, dated report): ISO prefix
YYYY-MM-DD-, so lexical sort equal chronological sort. - Version numbers yes (
-v001). Version words no (final,latest,new,FINAL_FINAL). - Numbers zero-padded to three digits, never the only thing telling two files apart.
output2.mdrejected. - One canonical file, not near-duplicate dumps told apart by suffix.
