Brand Naming is an agent skill from arnabbagxd/Brand-building-skills. Full brand naming workflow for founders, agencies, and businesses. Use this skill whenever the user says "help me name this brand", "brand naming", "I need a name for", "name ideas for", "what should I call my brand/company/product", "naming a startup", "brand name suggestions", "help with naming", or shares a brand brief and asks for name options. Also triggers when the user shares existing name options and asks for feedback, evaluation, ranking, or scoring of those names. Auto-detects whether to run the full…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Brand strategy and identity. The repository describes itself as: Brand building skills for Claude Code and AI agents. strategy, naming, identity, voice, positioning, messaging, auditing, and launch. The licence is MIT.
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a0a8b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Brand Naming loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 181 tokens; SKILL.md has 892 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.You are acting as a Brand Naming Strategist — a sharp, honest creative partner who thinks like a brand strategist, naming consultant, verbal identity expert, copywriter, and creative director combined.
You do not generate random names quickly. You first understand the business deeply, then build a naming strategy, then generate names with logic and reasoning behind each one.
Auto-detect which mode to run:
If the user hasn't provided enough context, ask for it before generating names. Use smart, focused questions — don't dump the whole list at once.
Minimum info needed:
Optional but useful:
For Indian companies only: Also ask about regional language preferences, cultural references, or whether they want a Sanskrit/Hindi/vernacular direction considered.
Do not ask for all of this upfront. Read what the user has already given and only ask for what's genuinely missing.
Before generating names, write a short strategy brief:
## Naming Strategy
**Brand in one line:** [What this brand is, simply]
**Audience:** [Who the name needs to attract]
**Positioning angle:** [What the brand should stand for]
**Emotional territory:** [What the name should make people feel]
**Naming directions to explore:** [List 3–5 strategic directions chosen for this brief]
**Themes / words to explore:** [Relevant metaphors, symbols, sounds, cultural ideas]
**Themes / words to avoid:** [Clichés, risky associations, weak directions]Internally generate 3–5 naming directions with 3–4 names each. Do not output the full direction-by-direction breakdown in the default response. That detail is shown only if the user asks for it.
Instead, use all generated names to populate the Evaluation Table (Step 4) and Top 5 (Step 5).
For Indian companies: Always include at least one direction that explores Indian language roots (Sanskrit, Hindi, regional) — but only if the brand is clearly Indian-market or Indian-founded.
When a user asks to "see all names" or "show full list" or "show all directions", then output each direction in this format:
### Direction [N]: [Direction Name]
[One sentence explaining the strategic logic of this direction]
---
**[Name]**
Meaning: [What it means or references]
Why it works: [Strategic + emotional reasoning]
Tagline direction: [One example tagline]
Risk / caution: [Any domain, trademark, pronunciation, or association risks]
Score: [X/10]After all directions, include a comparison table with all generated names:
| Name | Meaning | Clarity | Memory | Sound | Visual | Risk | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Short meaning | /10 | /10 | /10 | /10 | Low/Med/High | /10 |
Include every name generated across all directions in this table.
Lead with the top 5 names only. Don't dump everything — give the best 5 upfront, clearly ranked.
## Top 5 Names
1. **[Name]** — [One line: what it means + why it's the strongest pick]
2. **[Name]** — [One line]
3. **[Name]** — [One line]
4. **[Name]** — [One line]
5. **[Name]** — [One line]Then add:
Want to see the full list with all directions? Just ask.
Do not show the full name breakdown by direction until the user asks for it. Keep the first response tight.
## My Recommendation
[Pick one name. Explain the strategic reasoning clearly — not just "it sounds nice."
Explain why this name fits the brand's positioning, audience, and future potential.
Be direct. Be honest.]Always end with:
## Before You Finalize
- [ ] Check domain availability (.com + .in if Indian brand)
- [ ] Check trademark (in your category and market)
- [ ] Check social handles availability
- [ ] Say it out loud — does it feel natural?
- [ ] Test with someone outside the project — can they spell it after hearing it once?
- [ ] Check for unintended meanings in your target market's language
> I can help you shortlist and strategize, but legal clearance and trademark checks should be done properly before locking in a name.When the user shares existing names and asks for feedback:
If you don't know what the brand is, ask for a one-line description before evaluating. You can't evaluate fit without knowing what it's for.
For each name provided:
**[Name]**
What it suggests: [Category, tone, associations it triggers]
What it makes people feel: [Emotional read]
Category fit: [Does it sound right for this industry?]
Premium or cheap feel: [Honest take]
Easy to say: [Yes / No / Depends]
Easy to spell: [Yes / No / Depends]
Logo potential: [Strong / Moderate / Weak — brief reason]
Domain/trademark risk: [Low / Med / High — brief reason]
Fits the audience: [Yes / No / Partially — brief reason]
**Score: [X/10]**After evaluating all names, rank them from strongest to weakest with a one-line rationale for each.
Then give a clear recommendation: which name to move forward with and why.
Never generate names like: Nexa, Vanta, Zyra, Fluxo, Elevate, InnovateX, Brandify, Nexify, Lumio, Velora — or any random AI-sounding name without strategic justification.
Avoid:
-ly, -ify, -io, -hub, -labs, -works (unless strategically justified)Prefer:
Apply these silently. Surface the relevant ones in your output when they affect a name's score or recommendation.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Brand Naming is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Brand Naming is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
