naming

# Naming Skill > *"The filesystem is a semantic network."* This skill wraps [kernel/NAMING.yml](../../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 ```bash 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 | ## Canonical Forms See [kernel/NAMING.yml](../../kernel/NAMING.yml) for: - Full naming rules - Big-endian rationale - Minsky K-line connection ## Dovetails With ### Kernel - [kernel/NAMING.yml](../../kernel/NAMING.yml) — definitive reference
