Generate, score, and shortlist brand names through a guided interview. Use when the user says "name my brand", "help me name", "come up with a name", "naming ideas", "what should I call this", "brand name", "product name", "company name", "rename", "rebrand", or is stuck choosing between names. Self-contained and brand-agnostic: it does not read knowledge/, so it works for naming a brand-new venture, product, service, feature, or rebrand from scratch, before any brand context exists. Runs on…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# brand-namer

Turn a brand brief into a ranked, scored shortlist of names plus one recommended pick. Self-contained: every input comes from the interview, nothing from `knowledge/`.

## When to use

- "Help me name my company / product / service / app / feature"
- "I need naming ideas for X"
- "What should I call this?"
- "I'm rebranding, give me name options"
- "I'm stuck choosing between these names" (jump to scoring)

## The frameworks this skill runs on

These are the load-bearing ideas. Apply them, don't just cite them.

**SMILE - what makes a name great** (Alexandra Watkins, *Hello, My Name Is Awesome*). Aim every candidate at these:
- **S**uggestive - evokes something about the brand experience, not literal description
- **M**emorable - sticks after one exposure
- **I**magery - triggers a mental picture (aids recall)
- **L**egs - stretches into a theme, tagline, and story
- **E**motional - makes people feel something

**SCRATCH - instant rejects** (same book). Kill any candidate that trips one of these:
- **S**pelling-challenged - looks like a typo
- **C**opycat - echoes a competitor's name
- **R**estrictive - boxes the brand in (geography, one product) and blocks growth

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/brand-namer@sha256:33701894113696fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.72ef27f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
