novel-name

novel-name is a skill for Claude Code from TulanCN/vibe-noveling. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,098 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Chinese-style name generator for fictional characters, techniques, factions, creatures, places, items, alchemy, and dao figures. It offers different naming styles and rarity levels, while checking existing project names for duplicates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create names for novels, games, or other fictional settings, such as a character, sect, magic technique, treasure, location, or creature.
Why use it?
It removes the need to invent many setting-appropriate names manually and helps avoid reusing names already present in the project.

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

novel-name 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (tools/generator_core.py, tools/generators/__init__.py, tools/generators/alchemy.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

命名生成器

支持 8 类命名(character/technique/faction/item/creature/location/alchemy/dao),7 级稀有度(凡品/良品/上品/极品/秘宝/灵宝/古宝),项目实体去重。

命名方式(双通道)

优先通道:SSoT 直接生成

  1. 扫描 memory/entities/ 获取已有名字排除列表
  2. 在 thinking 中生成随机字符串(≥20 字符),拆成多段,每段按 ASCII 求和 mod 选项数 独立驱动一个创作决策
  3. 基于片段组合名字,各类型的维度-选项映射见下方驱动链
  4. 去重验证:冲突时用下一段重新生成
  5. 稀有度由种子哈希分配(凡品 ~65%,灵宝 ~1%,古宝 ~0.5%)
  6. 每次"换一批"必须生成全新随机字符串

SSoT 驱动链

每个名字用 3 段种子片段驱动。调用者已指定的参数直接作为约束,未指定的由种子驱动:

类型 片段A 片段B 片段C
character 姓氏(大/中/稀/复) 气质(写实/古雅/凌厉/温润/清冷/烟火气) 长度(2/3/4字)
technique 元素(金/木/水/火/土/暗/空间/通用) 类型(攻击/防御/身法/辅助/阵法) 风格(古典玄奥/霸气直白/朴素写实/诗意意象)
faction 阵营气质(正道/魔道/中立/世俗/隐世) 形态(宗门/家族/帮会/朝廷/散修) 风格(宏大气象/古朴厚重/凌厉锋锐/低调内敛)
item 类型(法宝/丹药/符箓/材料/典籍/阵法/器具) 稀有度倾向(凡/良/上/极/秘) 风格(写实功能/玄妙意境/古朴传承/霸气威压)
creature 物种(草木/鱼/兽/鸟/虫/爬虫) 气质(温顺/凶猛/诡异/庄严/灵动) 风格(写实形态/玄妙意象/古意山海/恐怖压迫)
location 类型(城市/山岳/水域/秘境/大陆) 文化(正道/商镇/边塞/幽冥/隐世) 风格(宏大/实用/神秘/古朴)
alchemy 功效(疗伤/增灵/突破/解毒/延寿/化形) 品级(下/中/上/极) 风格(写实功效/玄妙意象/古方传承/霸气夸张)
dao 来源(正道/隐修/幽冥/散修/佛门) 气质(端庄/清冷/温和/凌厉/飘渺/威严) 性别(男/女)

备用通道:Python 脚本

SSoT 结果不满意或需大批量生成时使用:

python3 {SKILL_DIR}/tools/name_generator.py <type> [options]

角色名支持 --origin zhongfang|cultivator|villain|civilian--gender 男|女--length 2|3|4--tone 等参数。详细用法见脚本 help。

用户确认

生成后必须用 AskUserQuestion 让用户确认。不满意则询问调整方向(更古典/更霸气/更柔和/更神秘/其他),调整后重新生成并再次确认。

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.
