Naming Conventions

Universal principles for clear, intention-revealing names. Language-agnostic—applies to TypeScript, Go, Rust, Python, etc.

Core Principle

Names should reveal intent and domain, not implementation.

• users not userArray (domain, not data structure)
• calculateTax not doTaxCalculation (clear verb)
• PaymentProcessor not PaymentManager (specific action, not vague)

Prohibited Patterns

NEVER Use These Names
