Name products, SaaS, brands, open source projects, bots, and apps. Use when the user needs to name something, find a brand name, or pick a product name — or to validate a name that already exists (`validar <name> <industry> <country>` — trademark registry, domains, handles, homonyms). Metaphor-driven process that produces memorable, meaningful names and avoids AI slop.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Low-risk skills in the same category (design) that look related. Check that one does what you need.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'naming' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'naming' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named naming already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/cofoundy/brand-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c2b765f34143fb64c4983c469bd265d05689a499' -- 'skills/naming' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/naming' ~/.agents/skills/'naming' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'naming' ~/.claude/skills/'naming' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
