description	Research external facts for a Naming Studio request. Use when a naming plan step references naming-studio-research, or when candidate names must avoid currently popular Chinese baby names or be audited for negative Mandarin homophones.

Naming Studio Research

This skill gathers facts that Codex cannot know reliably without looking: current name popularity and real-world homophone associations. It is always invoked as a step inside a naming request; it never writes to the GUI itself — naming-studio-generate owns save_naming_product_result.

Topic: popular-names

Triggered by the GUI filter 避开热门名字.

1. Web-search recent rankings of popular Chinese newborn names (e.g. 公安部全国姓名报告、近三年新生儿爆款名字榜单).
2. Compile a blocklist of the top given names (both 双字 and 单字 forms).
3. Return the blocklist to the calling flow. Candidate names must not match any entry, and near-misses (same characters reordered, same pinyin with identical tones) should be flagged.

Topic: mandarin-homophone

Triggered by the GUI filter 避开普通话谐音.

1. For each candidate full name (surname + given), enumerate its pinyin and tone sequence.
2. Check for negative homophones, mocking nicknames, brand or slang collisions. Search the web when uncertain — playground nicknames evolve faster than training data.
3. Reject or replace any candidate with a plausible negative association; note the reason.

Constraints

Findings feed the generation step of the same request. Keep research concise: one search pass per topic, summarize into actionable lists, no long reports in chat. Do not ask for API keys; use built-in web search capability only.
