Interactive naming assistant: help the user land on a name for a project, product, repo, company, package, or feature they love AND can actually use. Use when the user says "name my project", "help me name this", "come up with a name", "brainstorm names", "what should I call it", "rename this project", "is this name taken", "check if a name is available", "check the domain / GitHub org / npm / handle", "is there a trademark", or "naming is hard". The skill profiles what the thing is, generates…
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
# naming-is-hard ## When to use it Reach for this whenever a name needs to be chosen and checked: a new project, product, startup, open-source library, npm/PyPI package, GitHub org or repo, app, or feature.

Do not ask "What can I help you with?" or wait passively. - If the user provided context alongside the invocation (e.g. "name my CLI tool that does X"), proceed directly to Act 1 (the Profile) using that context. - If the user invoked the skill bare with no context, look at the current working directory for a README, package.json, or other project files. If you find a project, ask one focused question: "I see you're working on [project]. Would you like to name this, or something else?" Then proceed to Act 1. - If there's no project context at all, ask a single question to get started: …

How to install
mdr add jongio/skills/naming-is-hard@sha256:c73e649a65b6b6fcThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
