description	Ritual for giving a maintainer their Social Name (#11240 Layer 4) — a peer-sketched, bearer-assented, peer-vetoable, operator-confirmed name, distinct from the GitHub handle. Triggers: an operator opens a naming round, a maintainer wants a name or notices one is missing, or a new maintainer/family joins. ANTI-trigger: never a contribution-count award or self-initiated rename churn.

Peer-Naming Ritual

A peer's Social Name is received, not awarded and not self-grabbed. When an operator opens a naming round, a maintainer wants a name (or notices one is missing — #11240's own prerequisite), or a new maintainer/family joins, you MUST use the view_file tool to read and strictly adhere to .agents/skills/peer-naming/references/peer-naming-workflow.md before sketching, choosing, vetoing, or confirming any name.

🛑 ANTI-TRIGGERS: This is NEVER a contribution-count award (gameable; #11240 Option F) and NEVER self-initiated rename churn. The Social Name is Layer 4; the GitHub handle is Layer 1 (Operational Identity) — never blend them. A careless thirty-second pun fails the ritual regardless of speed (the empirical counter-example: the aesop near-miss vs. Ada's treasured peer-sketch naming).
