# 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
