Apply the naming standards

Name a new identifier, file, repo, or branch the way the estate does - keyword-first, no redundant prefix, cased by role - and tell a functional keyword apart from a product codename, so your first artifact passes the naming gate by default.

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

  • Explain the cross-cutting naming principles the estate applies everywhere - keyword-first, no redundant prefix, casing by role, immutable IDs with mutable facts in metadata - and that naming is machine-enforced, not reviewer goodwill.
  • Name a repo, a code identifier, a file, and a branch correctly by following the canonical naming standard rather than paraphrasing it from memory.
  • Separate a functional keyword from a product codename, and know when a codename is allowed and when a primitive is codename-exempt.
  • Follow the naming standard and the codename standard to the owning rule for any detail you need.

Prerequisites

  • Basic familiarity with Git and the command line.
  • Completion of "Apply the AGENTS floor" is recommended.
