project-name-check

project-name-check is a skill for Claude Code from KhaledSaeed18/dotclaude. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,763 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A name-checking workflow for software projects, packages, apps, command-line tools, extensions, and repositories. It checks whether candidate names are already used across registries, domains, app stores, code hosts, and existing projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Comparing several candidate names, checking package registries and domains, reviewing code-host and app-store availability, and reporting confirmed availability and unchecked areas.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of choosing a name that is already taken or cannot be used on an important platform. It reports what was actually checked instead of treating search results as proof.

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

project-name-check 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 7d 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clear a name before it gets stamped into a repo, a package manifest, a domain, and a logo. The whole skill rests on one rule: a name is only "available" where you checked it, with evidence you can show. Registry APIs and RDAP answer definitively; search engines do not. Report what you verified, name what you could not, and never round an unchecked surface up to "free".

You investigate and report. You do not register, purchase, publish, or reserve anything.

This skill covers the surfaces a shipped artifact lives on. If the name is for a company, a product brand, or a storefront, the surfaces that decide it are social handles, commerce platforms, company registers, and trademarks: use the business-name-check skill for that, or run both when the project and the company share a name.

Step 1: Frame the check

Work out three things before searching. Infer what you can from the working directory (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, *.xcodeproj, manifest.json, README, git remote) and only ask about what is genuinely unknowable.

  1. The candidates. Push for three to five, not one. A single candidate turns this into a yes/no with no fallback, and the first choice is usually taken. If the user has only one, check it first and generate variants in step 5 if it fails.
  2. What ships, and where. An npm package, a Homebrew CLI, a Mac App Store app, a VS Code extension, a Python library, a hosted product, or several at once. This picks the surfaces in step 2 and nothing else does.
  3. How much the name must carry. A throwaway internal tool needs a namespace collision check. A public product that will get a domain, a logo, and search traffic needs the full sweep including competitors and trademark signals.

State the resolved framing back in one or two lines before you start burning searches, so a wrong assumption gets corrected cheaply.

Step 2: Pick the surfaces

Open docs/surfaces.md and assemble the check list: every universal surface, plus the ecosystem surfaces that match how this thing ships. Skip surfaces that cannot apply (no App Store check for a Python library) and say in the report that you skipped them and why.

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.
