Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00227 | $0.06040 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00113 | $0.03020 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00045 | $0.01208 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00604 |
Grade A, and why
naming-is-hard scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

naming-is-hard
An interactive naming assistant for projects, CLIs, products, packages, and organizations. It guides you from a blank slate to a validated name you can actually ship.
The core insight: you rarely know what name you want until you see candidates and react to them. This skill generates diverse on-brief names, learns your preferences as you rank them, then validates your finalists against real-world availability (domains, GitHub, npm/PyPI, social handles) and flags trademark or confusable-name collisions before you commit.
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. It is equally good at "brainstorm names for X" and "is "Foo" already taken everywhere?".
Do not use it to rename variables or functions in code (that is ordinary editing), or for SEO keyword research.
On invocation
When the user invokes this skill (e.g. /naming-is-hard), start the naming
flow immediately. 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: "What are we naming? Tell me what it is and I'll kick off the process."
The skill exists to DO naming, not to explain itself. Get moving.
How it works: five acts
- The Profile. Read the user's context (a description, a repo path, or a URL) and write a Naming Brief: what the thing is and will be, who it is for, the tone, and any constraints. This anchors all candidate generation.
- The Deck. Generate a diverse, on-brief pool of candidate names across many naming strategies. Each candidate is tagged so the model can learn from it.
- The Swipe. Show one card at a time. The user swipes Like / Pass / Super-like. A preference model learns their taste and biases the next cards toward it, with enough exploration that it does not tunnel. It can state "your type" in words.
- The Match. For the names the user liked, run a deep availability scan and a trademark/existing-business screen, roll each up into a verdict tier, and present the ranked matches with a compatibility scorecard and a winner.
- Next actions. Hand the user the links to grab the GitHub org, register the domain, and claim the handles.

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.

naming-is-hard is a skill published in the GitHub repository jongio/skills (16 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 227 tokens to every session and 6,040 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
