design/mint-name Kernel

Context

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.

Metadata

• ID: fpf-skill:design-mint-name
• Pattern Ref: F.18 (Name Card)
• Role: Namer
• Version: 0.1.0

Instructions

Step 1: Define the Context

1. Identify the Bounded Context: Where does this name live? (e.g., "Skill Repo", "Runtime Kernel").
2. 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.

F.18 Name Card Template

A minted name card must include:

• CardMode: (e.g. MintNew)
• Row ID: (e.g. RN.FPF.SKILLREPO.001)
• Context of Meaning
• Kind
• Purpose / use-domain
• Minimal Definitional Statement (MDS)
• Didactic subtitle
• Sense reference
• Archetypal situations (sense-seeds)
• P2 Matrix Tally
