What is an ontological name?

An ontological name is a dense, multi-word title that describes the fundamental nature (essence) and operational role (function) of a system or project rather than using generic terms.

What words should I avoid when naming projects?

The skill filters out 'weak' words like articles, prepositions, and generic handlers (e.g., 'manager', 'helper', 'stuff') in favor of strong nouns and active verbs.

How does this skill use hyphens and double-hyphens?

It uses a single hyphen (-) for closely related compounds like 'skill-bundle' and a double hyphen (--) to bridge distinct conceptual categories like 'domain--function'.

Can this help with large-scale repository organization?

Yes, it is specifically designed to standardize naming conventions across large software ecosystems, making it easier for teams to navigate complex architectures.

Why does it provide Latin and Greek translations?

Classical roots provide a timeless, high-signal linguistic foundation that adds professional depth and branding consistency to technical projects and frameworks.

Generates dense, meaningful project and system names using ontological principles and classical language translations.

The Ontological Renamer is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to replace generic naming conventions with structured, high-density titles that convey a system's essence, function, and domain. By following a four-step methodology—identifying the subject, action, and context—it creates compound names using specific separator logic to indicate conceptual relationships. It is particularly useful for architects and developers who need to build clear taxonomies, rename legacy repositories, or establish a sophisticated naming language across complex software ecosystems, complete with Latin and Greek translations for timeless branding.
