naming

naming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ml8s/liki. It costs 44 tokens per session (676 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference skill for traditional Chinese name selection based on BaZi, a birth-chart system, and a character library. It covers choosing characters, combining names, checking sound and meaning, and adapting Chinese names for non-Chinese people.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select given names, assemble full names, assess an existing name, create a Chinese name for a foreign person, and apply meaning, source, pronunciation, and cultural-fit checks.
Why use it?
It limits suggestions to characters returned by the calculation service instead of inventing unsupported five-element or birth-chart claims. Missing or unclear birth time can be handled by using the person's preferred elements or no element preference.

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 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 today.

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.

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.
