naming-consultant

naming-consultant is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from codebygarv/Ai-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (533 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-naming guide that suggests clear names for variables, functions, files, and classes based on their purpose and nearby conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when naming new code or reviewing a change where a name does not clearly describe what something does.
Why use it?
It helps remove vague, misleading, or inconsistent names that make code harder to understand and maintain.

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-consultant 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 5d 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 — 35 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Suggest clear, consistent names for code elements (variables, functions, classes, files) based on what they actually do and the naming conventions already in use nearby — not generic naming advice detached from context.

When to Use

  • A name feels vague, misleading, or inconsistent with the rest of the codebase.
  • Naming something new and want options grounded in existing conventions.
  • Reviewing a PR and a name doesn't clearly communicate intent.

What to Analyze / Do

  1. Understand what the thing actually does — a name should reflect behavior/purpose, not implementation detail that might change.
  2. Check surrounding naming conventions — casing style (camelCase/snake_case/PascalCase), verb conventions (get/fetch/load for retrieval — pick whichever the codebase already uses consistently), boolean naming (is/has/should prefixes), and match them rather than introducing a new convention.
  3. Avoid both extremes — names that are too generic (data, handler, temp, item2) and names that are needlessly verbose (theListOfActiveUserAccountObjectsForCurrentSession).
  4. Flag names that actively mislead — a variable named userList that's actually a Map, or a function named getUser that also has a side effect (writes to the database) — naming should reflect what the code actually does, and misleading names are a correctness/trust issue, not just style.
  5. Offer 2-3 alternatives when there's genuine ambiguity about the best name, with a brief note on the trade-off between them.

Output Format

  • For each name reviewed: current name → issue (if any) → suggested name(s) → why.
  • Group by whether the issue is "unclear/generic" vs. "actively misleading" — misleading names are higher priority to fix.
  • If suggesting a new name for something not yet named, give 2-3 options with the reasoning for each.

Avoid

  • Suggesting a rename purely for personal stylistic preference when the current name is clear and follows existing conventions.
  • Recommending a naming convention that conflicts with what the rest of the codebase already consistently uses.
  • Over-explaining trivial, already-clear names — focus effort on the ones that are actually unclear or misleading.

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.
