# Filename & Naming Convention Audit ## Instructions Perform systematic audit of all filenames and naming conventions in the codebase to identify inconsistencies, anti-patterns, and violations of naming standards. ### Phase 1: Discovery & Standard Extraction #### Step 1: Find All Files Use Glob to identify all files in the codebase: - Source files (`.ts`, `.tsx`, `.js`, `.jsx`, etc.) - Config files - Documentation files - Test files Create comprehensive todo list of all files to audit. #### Step 2: Extract Naming Standards Read all `CLAUDE.md` files in the repository: - Root `CLAUDE.md` if exists - Directory-specific `CLAUDE.md` files Extract naming conventions: - File naming patterns (kebab-case, PascalCase, etc.) - Directory structure rules - Component naming rules - Utility/helper naming rules - Test file naming rules - Config file naming rules - Constant/enum file naming rules #### Step 3: Identify Implicit Patterns Even without explicit CLAUDE.md rules, identify patterns: - Most common naming convention in each directory - Grouping patterns (e.g., `*.service.ts`, `*.controller.ts`) - Organizational patterns (e.g., `components/`, `utils/`, `lib/`) ### Phase 2: Systematic File Audit For EACH file in the todo list: #### Step 1: Analyze Filename - What is the current filename? - What naming convention does it use? - Is it descriptive and clear? - Does it match its purpose/content? #### Step 2: Check Against Standards Compare to: - Explicit CLAUDE.md rules for this directory - Implicit patterns in the same directory - Common naming conventions for file type - Best practices for the framework/language #### Step 3: Identify Issues **Naming Convention Violations**: - Wrong case (e.g., PascalCase when should be kebab-case) - Mixed conventions (e.g., `userAuth.service.ts` mixing camelCase and dot notation) - Inconsistent with directory pattern **Clarity Issues**: - Vague names (e.g., `utils.ts`, `helpers.ts`, `stuff.ts`) - Overly verbose names - Misleading names (content doesn't match name) - Abbreviations without context **Anti-Patterns**: - Temporary names (e.g., `temp.ts`, `test.ts`, `new-*.ts`, `*-v2.ts`) - Generic names (e.g., `index2.ts`, `common.ts`) - Dated names (e.g., `old-*.ts`, `legacy-*.ts`) - Feature flag names (e.g., `*-new.ts`, `*-enhanced.ts`) **Organizational Issues**: - File in wrong directory - Missing grouping suffix (e.g., should be `*.service.ts`) - Inconsistent with sibling files #### Step 4: Check File Contents Read the file to verify: - Does filename accurately describe contents? - Would a better name exist based on what's inside? - Are there naming conventions violations inside (class names, etc.)? #### Step 5: Record Findings Store in memory: ``` File: path/to/filename.ts Convention Used: camelCase Should Be: kebab-case Pattern: Violates directory convention Issues: - [Specific issue] Suggested Name: [better-name.ts] Severity: [HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW] ``` #### Step 6: Update Todo Mark file as audited in todo list. ### Phase 3: Pattern Analysis After auditing all files: #### Step 1: Identify Systemic Issues - Which directories have most inconsistencies? - What naming patterns are most violated? - Are there clusters of similar violations? #### Step 2: Find Outliers - Files that don't match any pattern - One-off naming schemes - Orphaned file types #### Step 3: Detect Missing Standards - Directories lacking clear naming conventions - File types without established patterns - Areas needing CLAUDE.md documentation ### Phase 4: Generate Report Create report at `.audits/naming-audit-[timestamp].md`: ```markdown # Filename & Naming Convention Audit **Date**: [timestamp] **Files Audited**: X **Issues Found**: Y --- ## Executive Summary - **Critical Issues**: X (blocks consistency) - **High Priority**: Y (major violations) - **Medium Priority**: Z (minor inconsistencies) - **Low Priority**: W (suggestions) **Most Problematic Directory**: [path] (X issues) --- ## Issues by Severity ### CRITICAL: Convention Violations #### Temporary/Migration Filenames - `src/services/auth-v2.ts` - Migration file still in use - **Violates**: No version suffixes rule - **Suggested**: `src/services/auth.ts` (replace old one) - `src/utils/new-logger.ts` - Temporary naming - **Violates**: No "new-" prefix rule - **Suggested**: `src/utils/logger.ts` #### Wrong Case Convention - `src/components/UserProfile.tsx` - PascalCase - **Directory Standard**: kebab-case - **Suggested**: `src/components/user-profile.tsx` ### HIGH: Consistency Violations #### Inconsistent with Directory Pattern - `src/services/database.ts` - Missing `.service.ts` suffix - **Pattern**: All files in directory use `*.service.ts` - **Suggested**: `src/services/database.service.ts` #### Vague/Generic Names - `src/utils/helpers.ts` - Too generic - **Contains**: String manipulation functions - **Suggested**: `src/utils/string-helpers.ts` ### MEDIUM: Clarity Issues #### Misleading Names - `src/lib/validator.ts` - Named as single purpose - **Contains**: Multiple validators and formatters - **Suggested**: Split or rename to `validators.ts` ### LOW: Suggestions #### Verbose Names - `src/components/user-authentication-form-component.tsx` - **Redundant**: "component" suffix in components dir - **Suggested**: `src/components/user-auth-form.tsx` --- ## Issues by Directory ### src/services/ (12 issues) - **Pattern**: Should use `*.service.ts` suffix - **Violations**: - `database.ts` (missing suffix) - `auth-helper.ts` (wrong suffix) - `userService.ts` (wrong case) ### src/components/ (8 issues) - **Pattern**: kebab-case without suffix - **Violations**: - `UserProfile.tsx` (PascalCase) - `button-component.tsx` (redundant suffix) [Continue for all directories] --- ## Pattern Analysis ### Most Common Violations 1. **Mixed case conventions** - 15 files 2. **Missing pattern suffixes** - 12 files 3. **Generic names** - 8 files 4. **Temporary names** - 5 files ### Directories Lacking Standards - `src/lib/` - No clear convention (mix of all patterns) - `src/shared/` - Inconsistent organization - `tools/` - No established pattern ### Emerging Anti-Patterns - Version suffixes appearing (`*-v2`, `*-new`) - Component files with "component" in name - Service files without `.service.ts` suffix --- ## CLAUDE.md Coverage ### Documented Standards - ✅ `src/components/` - Documented in `src/CLAUDE.md` - ✅ `src/services/` - Documented in `src/CLAUDE.md` - ❌ `src/lib/` - No documentation - ❌ `src/utils/` - No documentation - ❌ `tools/` - No documentation ### Missing Documentation Needed - File naming conventions for `src/lib/` - Grouping patterns for utilities - Test file naming standards - Config file organization rules --- ## Statistics **By Issue Type**: - Case Violations: X - Pattern Violations: Y - Generic Names: Z - Temporary Names: W - Misleading Names: V **By Severity**: - Critical: X - High: Y - Medium: Z - Low: W **By File Type**: - TypeScript: X issues - React Components: Y issues - Test Files: Z issues - Config Files: W issues --- ## Detailed File List ### Critical Issues | File | Issue | Suggested Name | Reason | |------|-------|----------------|--------| | `src/auth-v2.ts` | Version suffix | `src/auth.ts` | Migration files not allowed | | `src/UserProfile.tsx` | Wrong case | `src/user-profile.tsx` | Directory uses kebab-case | ### High Priority Issues [Similar table] ### Medium Priority Issues [Similar table] ### Low Priority Issues [Similar table] ``` ### Phase 5: Summary for User Provide concise summary: ```markdown # Naming Convention Audit Complete ## Overview - **Files Audited**: X - **Issues Found**: Y - **Directories with Issues**: Z ## Critical Issues (Immediate Action) - X files with version/migration suffixes (`*-v2`, `*-new`) - Y files with wrong case convention - Z files in wrong locations ## Most Problematic Areas 1. **src/services/** - 12 issues (missing `.service.ts` suffix) 2. **src/components/** - 8 issues (case convention mix) 3. **src/lib/** - 6 issues (no clear standard) ## Top Violations - Mixed case conventions: 15 files - Missing pattern suffixes: 12 files - Generic names: 8 files ## Missing Standards - `src/lib/` lacks naming documentation - `src/utils/` needs pattern definition - Test files need naming standard **Full Report**: `.audits/naming-audit-[timestamp].md` ``` ## Critical Principles - **NEVER EDIT FILES** - This is audit only, not renaming - **NEVER SKIP FILES** - Audit every file in todo list - **DO READ CLAUDE.MD** - Extract explicit standards first - **DO IDENTIFY PATTERNS** - Find implicit conventions - **DO BE CONSISTENT** - Apply same standards across similar files - **DO CHECK CONTENTS** - Verify name matches file contents - **DO TRACK PROGRESS** - Update todo list as you audit - **DO FLAG ANTI-PATTERNS** - Especially temporary/migration names ## Success Criteria A complete naming audit includes: - All files in codebase audited - All CLAUDE.md standards extracted and applied - Implicit patterns identified for each directory - Violations categorized by severity - Systemic issues identified - Missing standards documented - Structured report generated - Statistics and trends analyzed
