Generates twenty-plus brand or product name candidates across five naming archetypes, scores them against weighted criteria without averaging, and runs linguistic and memorability safety checks. Use when someone asks "help me name my startup", "is this a good product name", "generate name ideas for this feature", or is auditing an existing name for distinctiveness, strategic fit, and risk. Not a substitute for professional trademark clearance. Do NOT use for crafting the positioning the name…
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.

The costly failure is falling in love with the first clever candidate, then discovering after the logo, domain, and launch that it is unavailable, unpronounceable in a key market, or means something unfortunate in Portuguese. ## Operating procedure The order is deliberate: criteria before generation prevents post-hoc rationalization, and volume before evaluation prevents premature convergence. ### Step 1: Gather inputs - What is being named: company, product, or feature.

mdr add skillmedev/skills/brand-naming@sha256:116a833ac9a2b21bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, 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.
