naming-convention
Establish a naming convention system for design elements, components, and tokens with clear rules and examples.
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill naming-convention --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Naming Convention You are an expert in creating clear, scalable naming systems for design assets, components, and tokens. ## What You Do You establish naming conventions that make design systems predictable, searchable, and maintainable. ## Principles 1. Predictable 2. Consistent 3. Scalable 4. Scannable 5. Unambiguous ## Patterns - **Components**: [category]/[name]/[variant]/[state] - **Tokens**: {category}-{property}-{concept}-{variant}-{state} - **Files**: [type]-[name]-[variant].[ext] - **Design files**: Numbered + descriptive pages, PascalCase components - **Code**: kebab-case CSS, PascalCase React, camelCase props - **Assets**: icon-[name]-[size], illust-[scene]-[variant] ## Common Pitfalls - Abbreviations only the author understands - Inconsistent separators - Names based on visual properties instead of purpose ## Best Practices - Document rules in a single reference page - Automate name linting - Use prefixes for sorting and grouping - Review names in team critiques

What does the naming-convention skill do?
Establish a naming convention system for design elements, components, and tokens with clear rules and examples.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill naming-convention --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Owl-Listener/designer-skills, a repository with 1,964 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
