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.

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 | $0.00056 | $0.01876 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00938 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00375 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00188 |
Grade A, and why
naming-conventions 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 — 243 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Naming Conventions
Use clear, consistent names that reveal intent. Good names eliminate the need for comments and make code self-documenting.
When to Use
- Naming any new variable, function, class, or file
- Reviewing code for naming consistency
- Refactoring unclear or misleading names
- Setting up project-wide naming standards
- Working across languages with different conventions
Core Patterns
Language-Specific Casing
JavaScript/TypeScript:
variables, functions camelCase getUserById, isActive
classes, types PascalCase UserService, AuthConfig
constants SCREAMING_SNAKE ALL_CAPS, MAX_RETRIES
files (components) PascalCase UserProfile.tsx
files (modules) kebab-case user-service.ts
CSS classes kebab-case .nav-item, .btn-primary
enums PascalCase UserRole.Admin
Python:
variables, functions snake_case get_user_by_id, is_active
classes PascalCase UserService, AuthConfig
constants SCREAMING_SNAKE MAX_RETRIES, API_URL
files, modules snake_case user_service.py
private _leading _internal_helper
Go:
exported PascalCase GetUserByID, UserService
unexported camelCase getUserByID, parseToken
files snake_case user_service.go
packages lowercase auth, users (no underscores)
constants PascalCase MaxRetries, DefaultTimeout
acronyms ALL_CAPS HTTPClient, UserID, JSONParser
Rust:
variables, functions snake_case get_user, is_valid
types, structs, enums PascalCase UserConfig, AuthError
constants SCREAMING_SNAKE MAX_RETRIES
files snake_case user_service.rs
crates kebab-case my-web-server
SQL/Database:
tables snake_case user_accounts
columns snake_case created_at, first_name
indexes descriptive idx_users_email
foreign keys descriptive fk_orders_user_id
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-conventions is a skill published in the GitHub repository VersoXBT/claude-initial-setup (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,876 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
