doc-naming

Purpose

The naming authority for the 8-layer SDD flow. doc-naming validates document IDs, element IDs, threshold tags, and file names against ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/framework/governance/ID_NAMING_STANDARDS.md, and flags removed/legacy patterns. It produces no artifacts — it is the declarative ID validator (the framework ships no runtime code).

Layer: cross-cutting utility (applies to all 8 layers).

When to Use

Use before creating or editing any artifact, to:

• verify a document or element ID format,
• check a @threshold: tag, or
• detect removed/legacy ID patterns and get the migration target.

Do NOT use for cross-document traceability or content review — use ../doc-validator/SKILL.md.

Behavior

1. Document ID — TYPE-NN

^[A-Z]{2,8}-[0-9]{2,}$ — uppercase type, single dash, 2+ digit sequence (no extra leading zeros beyond two: BRD-01, ADR-99, IPLAN-102). File name: TYPE-NN_descriptive_slug.md.

2. Element ID — TYPE.NN.SS.xxxx (4-segment)

^[A-Z]+\.[0-9]{2,}\.[0-9]{2,}\.[a-f0-9]{4,8}$

Segment	Meaning	Format
TYPE	Artifact prefix	BRD PRD EARS BDD ADR TDD
NN	Document number	2+ digits
SS	Source section number	2+ digits
xxxx	Stable content identifier, 4 hex (8 on collision) — see below	[a-f0-9]{4,8}

Example: BRD.01.07.a7f3. Element IDs appear as markdown headings (### BRD.01.07.a7f3: Title).

3. Reference granularity (element vs document)

There are no numeric element-type codes — identity is the section + hash, not a fixed code.

Layer	Reference form	Example
BRD, PRD, EARS, BDD, TDD	element (dotted) TYPE.NN.SS.xxxx	PRD.01.09.1dbc
ADR	both: document ADR-NN and element ADR.NN.SS.xxxx	ADR-05, ADR.05.03.e5b1
SPEC, IPLAN	document (dash) TYPE-NN	SPEC-06, IPLAN-01

Traceability tags carry these refs: @brd: BRD.01.07.a7f3, @spec: SPEC-06, @iplan: IPLAN-01.

4. Threshold tags

@threshold: {TYPE}.{NN}.{key} where key is category.subcategory.attribute[.qualifier]. Categories: perf timeout rate retry circuit alert cache pool queue batch. Doc reference is mandatory and dot-separated — @threshold: PRD.035.timeout.partner.bridge (valid); @threshold: timeout.partner.bridge (missing doc ref — invalid). Threshold sources: BRD (business SLAs), PRD (product metrics), ADR (technical limits).

5. Reserved-ID and REF exemptions

• TYPE-00_* (indexes, templates, glossaries) — framework infrastructure; skip element-ID and traceability checks.
• TYPE-REF-NN_{slug}.md (BRD/ADR only, via ../doc-ref/SKILL.md) — free-format reference targets; no element IDs, no quality gates.

6. Removed / legacy patterns (reject)

Migrate every match to TYPE.NN.SS.xxxx (or a dash doc ref for SPEC/IPLAN):

Removed	Applies to
AC-XXX, FR-XXX, BC-XXX, BA-XXX, QA-XXX, BO-XXX, RISK-XXX, METRIC-XXX, Feature F-XXX	BRD, PRD
Event-XXX, State-XXX	EARS
DEC-XXX, ALT-XXX, CON-XXX	ADR
3-segment TYPE.NN.xxxx	all element layers

Detect with grep, e.g. grep -E "(AC|FR|BC|BA|QA|BO|NFR|RISK|METRIC)(-[A-Za-z0-9]+)*-[0-9]+" file.md (the optional (-[A-Za-z0-9]+)* catches compound forms like FR-CICD-001). Migration: derive TYPE/NN from the file name, SS from the source section, and xxxx as a stable 4-hex identifier distinct within its section; replace all occurrences and re-verify. Do not compute SHA-256 by hand. For BRD §7 — the one layer with a defined field-extraction boundary — call the generator: python -m sdd_doc_lint.rehash --compute --doc-id NN --section-id SS --title T --description D. Authority: framework/governance/ID_NAMING_STANDARDS.md.

7. ISO 8601 timestamps

Date/time fields (frontmatter last_updated, created_date; review_date, fix_date, approval_date, decision_date) use YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS (optionally Z or ±HH:MM), enabling same-day drift detection. Date-only values are deprecated.

Pre-flight checklist

• Document ID is TYPE-NN; file name is TYPE-NN_slug.md.
• Element IDs are 4-segment TYPE.NN.SS.xxxx with a 4–8 hex hash, unique within the document; SPEC/IPLAN use dash doc refs.
• @threshold: tags include the doc reference and an approved category.
• No removed/legacy patterns; no 3-segment element IDs.
• Traceability tag prefixes (@brd: … @tdd:) are correct and targets exist.
