This skill enacts the F.18 Name Card process from the First Principles Framework (FPF). It is used to "mint" new names for concepts, artifacts, or repositories ensuring high semantic fidelity and cognitive ergonomics.

Pattern Ref: F.18 (Name Card)
Role: Namer

Instructions

Step 1: Define the Context

Identify the Bounded Context: Where does this name live? (e.g., "Skill Repo", "Runtime Kernel").
State the Purpose: What is the strict function of the thing being named?

Step 2: Generate Candidates

Propose 3-5 candidates. For each, define:

Twin Labels: Technical ID (kebab-case) and Plain English.
Minimal Definitional Statement (MDS): A strict definition of what the thing IS.

Step 3: Run P2 Semantic Read-Through

For each candidate, test it against the 7 standard FPF sense-seeds (S1–S7):

S1 Add: "Add a new <Thing>..."
S2 Retrieve: "Get a <Thing> from..."
S3 Teach: "Teach the concept of <Thing>..."
S4 Provenance: "Trace the <Thing> back to..."
S5 Relations: "Link <Thing> to..."
S6 Rep-Change: "Change format of <Thing>..."
S7 Non-Native: "Add a foreign <Thing>..."

Step 4: Tally the Matrix

Mark each test as:

TN: Too Narrow
OT: On Target
TW: Too Wide
WP: Wrong Prototype

Step 5: Mint the Card

Select the candidate with the highest OT count (and 0 WP). Output the final Name Card in Markdown format.
