What naming-analyzer does

The skill scans code for naming problems: overly generic terms (data, temp), misleading labels (a getUser function that mutates state), unclear abbreviations (usrCfg), booleans without prefixes (active instead of isActive). For each issue it provides a specific explanation and a better alternative. Checks variables, constants, methods, interfaces, database tables and API paths.

Recognises conventions for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java and Go: camelCase for variables, PascalCase for classes, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants. Separates critical errors (a name that does not match behaviour) from minor lapses (inconsistent casing). The report groups findings by priority and points to exact locations in the project.

Mention the skill in a prompt to run it. Works on the whole project, a folder or a single file.

What it helps with

  • audit variable and function names for clarity
  • spot boolean variables missing is, has or can prefixes
  • identify functions whose names hide side effects
  • align names with language conventions
  • replace magic numbers with named constants

Example prompts for the agent

  • Check names in src/services/UserService.js — the getUser function updates lastLogin, which is misleading
  • Review variable names in src/utils, lots of single letters and abbreviations
  • Find boolean fields without prefixes in models and suggest corrected versions
