Naming Skill
"The filesystem is a semantic network."
This skill wraps kernel/NAMING.yml.
Core Pattern
TYPE-VARIANT.ext
| Part | Meaning | Examples |
|------|---------|----------|
| TYPE | Category/role | cat, staff, ROOM |
| VARIANT | Specific instance | terpie, marieke |
| ext | File type | .yml, .md |
Examples
pub/
├── ROOM.yml # Type only — the pub itself
├── cat-terpie.yml # Type-variant
├── cat-stroopwafel.yml
├── staff-marieke.yml
└── menu-strains.yml # Menu type, strains variant
Sorting Advantage
ls *.yml | sort
# cat-stroopwafel.yml
# cat-terpie.yml
# menu-strains.yml
# ROOM.yml
# staff-marieke.yml
Categories cluster. Finding "all cats" → cat-*.yml
Special Filenames
| Name | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| ROOM.yml | Room definition |
| CHARACTER.yml | Character definition |
| SKILL.md | Skill specification |
| README.md | Human landing page |
| INDEX.yml | Registry |
