What are some good noun patterns for plugin prefixes?

Commonly effective patterns include suffixes like -smith, -forge, -kit, -bench, -works, and -craft, or the prefix meta-.

How should I name a Claude Code agent?

Agents should be named using agent nouns ending in -er, -or, or a specific role noun (e.g., 'reviewer' or 'tester') to indicate 'one who performs the task'.

Why should Claude Code skills always end in -ing?

Following the gerund form (-ing) defines a skill as 'the activity of' a specific task, which clearly distinguishes it from agents or commands within the ecosystem.

Should I include '-skill' or '-agent' in the name?

No. The directory structure of Claude Code already indicates the type, so adding type postfixes is considered redundant and poor practice.

What is the 'Golden Rule' of plugin naming?

The Golden Rule states that a plugin name should be a common prefix for all its atoms and must be a neutral noun (e.g., 'datakit') rather than a verb form.
