Ontological Renamer FAQs

Question 1

What makes a name 'ontological'?

Accepted Answer

An ontological name describes the fundamental nature (essence) and role (function) of an object within its specific domain, moving beyond simple descriptions to capture the thing's actual identity.

Question 2

Why does the skill suggest avoiding words like 'manager' or 'helper'?

Accepted Answer

Terms like 'manager' are considered overloaded and generic. The skill encourages more precise, active nouns like 'forge', 'vault', or 'sentinel' that describe specific behaviors.

Question 3

Does this skill provide translations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it identifies English root concepts and provides accurate equivalents in Latin and Greek to help create timeless and academically rigorous project identities.

Question 4

When should I use a double hyphen (--) instead of a single hyphen (-)?

Accepted Answer

Use a single hyphen for magnetically close concepts that form a compound (e.g., 'code-craft'). Use a double hyphen to show conceptual distance or to separate categories (e.g., 'dev-tools--linter').

Question 5

How does this improve team collaboration?

Accepted Answer

Standardized, meaningful naming conventions reduce cognitive load by making the purpose and scope of a repository or system immediately obvious to new developers.
