Naming Analyzer
Software development skill, available on Zeplik
Naming Analyzer is a ready-to-run software development skill on Zeplik. Produces a naming analysis with concrete rename suggestions and reasons. Ask in plain language and Zeplik applies the skill's method for you inside the conversation, on whichever AI model you prefer. It returns a structured table you can keep and reuse: rows of location | current | issue | severity | suggestion | reason.
The Naming Analyzer skill loads automatically when your request matches it, or you can invoke it directly by typing /naming-analyzer in any chat. It works with attachments, connectors, and any model that supports the task, so you get the same expert method every time without setting anything up.
What the Naming Analyzer skill can do
- Flag unclear, vague, or misleading variable and function names
- Check naming against language specific conventions like camelCase or snake_case
- Recommend boolean prefixes such as is, has, can, should
- Produce a prioritized rename table with severity and reasons

How the Naming Analyzer skill works
Naming Analyzer
Suggest better variable, function, and class names based on context and language conventions.
What to Analyze
- Variables, constants, functions, methods
- Classes, interfaces, types
- Files and directories
- Database tables and columns, API endpoints
Issues to Flag
- Unclear or vague names (
data,info,temp,x) - Abbreviations that obscure meaning (
usrCfg,calcTtl) - Inconsistent conventions within one codebase
- Misleading names (name doesn't match behavior / hidden side effects)
- Single-letter variables outside loop counters
- Booleans without
is/has/can/shouldprefixes - Magic numbers that should be named constants
- Hungarian notation misuse in modern code
Conventions by Language
| Language | Vars/functions | Classes/types | Constants | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JS/TS | camelCase | PascalCase | UPPER_SNAKE_CASE | private #field or _field |
| Python | snake_case | PascalCase | UPPER_SNAKE_CASE | private _prefix |
| Java | camelCase | PascalCase | UPPER_SNAKE_CASE | packages lowercase |
| Go | camelCase (unexported) | PascalCase (exported) | — | acronyms all-caps: HTTPServer |
Naming Patterns to Follow
- Functions/methods: verb phrase describing the action --
sendEmail,parseJSON,formatCurrency. If it mutates, say so (fetchAndUpdateUserLogin, notgetUser). - Classes: nouns --
PaymentProcessor,EmailValidator. Avoid genericManager/Helper/Utilityunless justified. - Variables: descriptive nouns --
activeUsersnotusers2,emailAddressnotx. - Constants:
UPPER_SNAKE_CASEwith units --MAX_RETRY_ATTEMPTS,CACHE_DURATION_MS. - Booleans: question form, prefer positive --
isEnablednotisDisabled.
Boolean Prefix Guide
isfor state:isActive,isVisiblehasfor possession:hasPermission,hasErrorcanfor ability:canEdit,canDeleteshouldfor decisions:shouldRender,shouldValidate
Naming Decision Tree
Is it a boolean? -> is/has/can/should prefix
Is it a function? -> verb phrase (action)
Is it a class/type? -> noun (PascalCase)
Is it a constant? -> UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (+units)
Otherwise -> descriptive noun (camelCase/snake_case)
Guidance
- Prioritize clarity over brevity; full words beat abbreviations.
- Context matters: loop counters
i,j,kare fine. - Well-known abbreviations (
html,api,url,id) are acceptable. - Consistency within a project outranks perfect individual names.
- Suggest IDE rename refactoring so all references update safely.
Output
A prioritized naming analysis, ideally a table with columns: location | current | issue | severity (Critical/Major/Minor) | suggestion | reason. Lead with Critical (misleading names), then Major (vague/abbreviated), then Minor (convention). Close with a short list of high-priority renames grouped by symbol.
