Can I exclude certain files or specific findings?

Yes, it integrates with a .inclusion-config.md file in your project root to skip acknowledged findings and respect specific priority settings.

Is this different from a standard linter?

Yes. While a linter checks for static rules, Names Check uses context to understand the purpose of the data and provides holistic diversity assessments.

How does this skill help with bug catching?

It identifies if your test data lacks technical edge cases—like names with apostrophes, diacritics, or single names—which frequently cause validation errors in production.

Which files does this skill typically scan?

It is designed to review test fixtures, seed data files, documentation (Markdown), UI mockups, and marketing assets within your repository.

Does Names Check just flag every common Western name?

No, it assesses the overall pattern and context of your data. The goal is to ensure a global variety across the codebase rather than eliminating specific names.

Security & Testing

Audits codebases for name diversity and inclusive representation in documentation, test fixtures, and mock data.

About

Names Check is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to evaluate the diversity and inclusivity of names within your project's examples, seed data, and documentation. Unlike a simple linter, it contextually assesses whether your project reflects a global audience or relies on Western-centric placeholders. It prioritizes user-facing content, identifies technical edge cases like diacritics and single names that often break code, and provides actionable suggestions to ensure your software is inclusive, culturally aware, and robust for users worldwide.

Key Features

Detection of technical edge cases including diacritics, apostrophes, and non-Latin characters.
Prioritized reporting that distinguishes between high-visibility content and internal tests.
Context-aware analysis of name diversity in public-facing documentation and seed data.
Integration with .inclusion-config.md to respect project-specific skip lists and scope.
Actionable tabular reports providing culturally diverse name alternatives for specific files.

Use Cases

Auditing marketing materials and public-facing documentation for global user representation.
Improving test coverage by identifying name-based edge cases that might cause production bugs.
Reviewing seed data and UI mockups during the design-to-development handoff to ensure inclusivity.
