# Name Generator

Generate 6 creative, memorable names optimized for virality.

## Context Detection

Before generating names, determine the context:

1. **Check for git repository**: Look for `.git` directory or use git status
2. **If in a repo**: Analyze codebase to generate repository names
3. **If not in a repo**: Ask user what they're naming (project, product, tool, etc.)

### Python Project Detection

For Python projects, enable PyPI availability checking:

1. Run `shared/detect_project.py --path <project-path>` to detect project type
2. If `"type": "python"` is returned, enable PyPI checking workflow (see below)
3. PyPI checking only applies to Python projects - skip for other project types

## Quick Start

```
/project-name-author           # Analyze current directory
/project-name-author ./path    # Analyze specific path
```

## Workflow

1. **Project Analysis** - Examine available files to understand the project
2. **Apply Virality Criteria** - Score names against viral factors
3. **Generate Diverse Names** - Create names across different styles

### Project Analysis

Examine available files to understand the project:

| File | What to Extract |
|------|-----------------|
| README.md | Project description, purpose |
| package.json / pyproject.toml / Cargo.toml / go.mod | Name, description, keywords |
| Main source files | Core functionality |
| Current repo name | Context for renaming |

### Virality Criteria

| Factor | Description | Examples |
|--------|-------------|----------|
| **Memorable** | Short, easy to spell/say | `vite`, `bun`, `deno` |
| **Searchable** | Unique, SEO-friendly | `fastapi`, `prisma` |
| **Shareable** | Fun to mention | `husky`, `panda` |
| **Descriptive** | Hints at purpose | `typescript`, `autoprefixer` |
| **Clever** | Wordplay, metaphors | `yarn`, `brew`, `nest` |

### Name Styles

Generate at least one name per style:

| Style | Characteristics |
|-------|-----------------|
| **Creative** | Metaphors, abstract concepts (phoen
