naming SKILL.md skillA

naming from wntic/pyhouse is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add wntic/pyhouse/naming@git:20261011.4a676ac

Pins git:20261011.4a676ac in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when deciding what something is called — what should I call this module or class, this name is vague, rename this, re-derive a ported or generated name. Owns the derivation procedure, the six naming tests, the `I` prefix on ports, the error-class and repository-class identifier forms, the vague-noun replacements, and the role suffixes (`Handler`, `Result`, `Payload`, `Service`) an architecture defines that are exempt from them. The mechanics around a name are `python-packaging`. - Naming a…

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 — deriving a name instead of recalling one

A name is the first thing a reader sees and usually the only thing they read before deciding what
something does. The cost of getting it wrong is asymmetric: **wrong code fails loudly, a wrong name
misleads quietly for as long as it survives** — through every review, every search, and every later
change made on the strength of what it seemed to promise.

This skill owns the choice of the name itself. It is architecture-neutral and project-neutral, and
is loaded alongside whichever skill owns the artifact being named.

It holds in any Python project — a single package, a service, a library, a workspace of several.
Examples use this set's placeholder vocabulary (`myapp`, `foos`/`bars`, `Foo`/`Bar`) with real
technology names (`redis`, `s3`, `stripe`) kept concrete; substitute your project's own concepts,
never its layout.

## When to use vs. neighbours

- Choosing or judging any identifier — package, module, class, function, method, parameter, variable,
  enum, constant → this skill, before writing the line.
- Porting or generating code and keeping the names that came with it → this skill, first; that is its
  primary case.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wntic/pyhouse/naming@sha256:e435dc947677a98c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.4a676ac, 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.
