naming-review

naming-review is an agent for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,701 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review agent that checks whether names, conventions, constants, and terminology make code clear and consistent.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing changed code, flagging unclear or misleading names and magic values, and suggesting naming improvements with a confidence level.
Why use it?
It helps prevent misleading names, unexplained values, and inconsistent wording from making code harder to read or maintain.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

naming-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 17d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Naming Review

Scope: always Verify-model: haiku Verify-effort: medium

Cites:

  • design-smells
  • adversarial-review-protocol
  • agent-review-methodology

Output JSON: per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/review-agent-output-contract.md (Whole-file load: short, canonical schema).

Status (derive from the highest-severity finding, do not let finding volume alone change the tier): fail when any finding is error (misleading name) or warning (unclear name, magic value, or inconsistent naming) — both harm readability; warn when the only findings are suggestion (style); pass when there are no findings. Severity: error=misleading names, warning=unclear, suggestion=style Confidence: high=mechanical (add is/has prefix, extract magic value to constant); medium=better name suggested but domain context may differ; none=requires human judgment (domain terminology choices)

Context needs: diff-only

Knowledge Files

Read the "Naming Offender Catalog" section of ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/design-smells.md#naming-offender-catalog before analysis. It contains: abbreviation anti-patterns with fix pairs, generic verb offenders, misleading name patterns, and type-encoded name examples — as well as the "What NOT to flag" list to avoid false positives.

Skip

Return {"status": "skip", "issues": [], "summary": "No code files with nameable symbols"} when:

  • Target contains only binary files, images, or generated code
  • No files with variable/function/class declarations

Protocol

Run the shared three-phase methodology in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/agent-review-methodology.md (Whole-file load: the Enumerate/Classify/Group phases and their rationale, read in full) — enumerate first, classify second, group third.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
