+
+Two complete competitive naming analyses showing full output quality.

+
+## Example 1: Developer CLI / Config Management
+
+**User input:** "I'm building a secrets and config management tool for developers. Who else is in this space and how are they named?"
+
+---
+
+## CompetitorNames — Developer Config & Secrets Management
+
+**Market:** Developer infrastructure / secrets management
+**Competitors analyzed:** 10
+
+---
+
+### Naming Landscape Map
+
+| Name | Style | Phonetic | Length | Archetype signal |
+|------|-------|----------|--------|-----------------|
+| Doppler | Metaphor/concept | Hard opener, soft landing | 7 | DevTool, premium |
+| Vault | Real word out-of-context | Hard, punchy | 5 | Enterprise, security |
+| Infisical | Invented (infosec + classical) | Soft, complex | 9 | Security-first devtool |
+| Envkey | Descriptive compound | Soft-hard mix | 6 | Functional, utilitarian |
+| dotenv | Descriptive + convention | Lowercase, soft | 6 | Indie, open source |
+| 1Password | Descriptive + numeral | Mixed | 9 | Consumer-first |
+| Bitwarden | Compound (bit + warden) | Hard | 8 | Security, open source |
+| Chamber | Real word out-of-context | Soft | 7 | Enterprise |
+| Teller | Real word out-of-context | Soft | 6 | Fintech-adjacent |
+| Keybase | Descriptive compound | Mixed | 7 | Crypto-adjacent |
+
+---
+
+### Pattern Distribution
+
+**Saturated (avoid):**
+- Descriptive compounds: Envkey, dotenv, Keybase — 3 of 10 + pattern is tired in devtools
+- "Security-coded" names: Vault, Bitwarden, Chamber, Infisical — 4 of 10 convey security explicitly → crowded signal
+
+**Moderate (viable with strong execution):**
+- Real word out-of-context: Vault, Chamber, Teller — 3 of 10, but Vault is dominant and owned by HashiCorp
+
+**Open territory (1 competitor):**
+- Physics/science metaphor: Doppler is alone — nobody else uses this pattern
+- Fintech-style phonetics: Teller borrowed from fintech — only 1 name here
+
+**Whitespace (0 competitors):**
+- Latin/Greek root names: zero competitors use classical roots
+- Ultra-short (≤4 chars): zero competitors — Zed/Bun/Nx energy completely absent
+- Hard-consonant invented word: everyone is soft or descriptive — hard, punchy invented name is open
+
+---
+
+### Competitive Positioning Analysis
+
+The config/secrets space names itself in two dominant clusters: security-coded (Vault, Bitwarden, Infisical) and utilitarian-descriptive (dotenv, Envkey, Keybase). Both clusters are saturated and neither is exciting.
+
+Doppler is the notable outlier — a physics metaphor that has nothing to do with configuration management, executed with enough product quality to make it stick. It's the most "brandable" name in the space and it shows: Doppler has positioned as the premium tier while everyone else competes on features.
+
+The whitespace is clear: a hard-consonant invented word or Latin-rooted name that signals speed and precision rather than security-paranoia or function-description would stand out immediately. The space needs its "Stripe" — short, hard, confident, says nothing about what it does.
+
+---
+
+### Naming Brief for This Market
+
+**Avoid:**
+- Descriptive compounds: Envkey/dotenv pattern — un-trademarkable and communicates commodity
+- Security-coded language: "vault", "key", "secret", "cipher" — saturated, signals paranoia not productivity
+- Soft, warm phonetics — this is a developer infrastructure tool, not a wellness app
+
+**Explore:**
+- Hard-consonant invented word: pure whitespace, highest differentiation
+- Latin/Greek root: zero competitors, signals intelligence and precision
+- Ultra-short (3-4 chars): completely open in this space, strong DevTool convention
+
+**Phonetic target:** Hard opener (K, V, T, R), 4-7 chars, ends in hard stop or short vowel
+
+**Differentiation requirement:** Must not contain or evoke: key, vault, secret, env, config, dot. Must feel fast and developer-native, not security-paranoid.
+
+---
+
+### DomainForge Brief
+
+Archetype: DevTool / Developer Infrastructure
+Mode: Indie Hacker + DevTool (short, technical, lowercase-first)
+Avoid: -key, -env, -vault, -base, security-coded language, descriptive compounds
+Explore: hard-consonant invented words, Latin roots (rapid/precise/contained), ultra-short
+Phonetic target: 4-7 chars, hard opener, terminal-friendly in lowercase
+Must stand out against: Doppler, Vault, dotenv, Infisical

+## Example 2: Consumer Journaling / Reflection Apps
+
+**User input:** "I'm building a daily journaling app. What's the naming landscape look like?"
+
+---
+
+## CompetitorNames — Consumer Journaling & Reflection Apps
+
+**Market:** Consumer / Mental wellness / Daily journaling
+**Competitors analyzed:** 11
+
+---
+
+### Naming Landscape Map
+
+| Name | Style | Phonetic | Length | Archetype signal |
+|------|-------|----------|--------|-----------------|
+| Day One | Real words (date + number) | Soft | 6 | Personal, warm |
+| Daylio | Modified real word | Soft | 6 | Approachable, consumer |
+| Reflectly | Descriptive + -ly suffix | Soft | 9 | Generic, dated |
+| Journey | Real word (metaphor) | Soft | 7 | Warm, metaphorical |
+| Bearable | Real word out-of-context | Soft | 8 | Clever, mental health |
+| Moodnotes | Descriptive compound | Soft | 9 | Functional, clinical |
+| Finch | Real word out-of-context | Soft | 5 | Warm, approachable |
+| Stoic | Real word out-of-context | Hard opener | 5 | Intellectual, philosophy |
+| Penzu | Invented word | Mixed | 5 | Neutral, forgettable |
+| Rosebud | Real word compound | Soft | 7 | Warm, nostalgic |
+| Clarity | Real word | Soft | 7 | Generic aspiration |
+
+---
+
+### Pattern Distribution
+
+**Saturated (avoid):**
+- Soft phonetics: 10 of 11 names — the entire space is soft, warm, gentle
+- Real words used as brand: Day One, Journey, Bearable, Finch, Stoic, Rosebud, Clarity — 7 of 11
+- Descriptive or functional naming: Reflectly, Moodnotes — both dated, both generic
+
+**Open territory (1-2 competitors):**
+- Hard consonant opener: only Stoic — philosophical angle creates a distinct cluster alone
+- Invented word: only Penzu — but poorly executed (forgettable)
+
+**Whitespace:**
+- Short invented word with soft-warm phonetics that isn't a real word: nobody does this well
+- Abstract concept from non-wellness domains: the fintech/devtool "confidence" — nobody in journaling is crisp and bold
+- 4-char names: nobody — the shortest is Finch at 5
+
+---
+
+### Competitive Positioning Analysis
+
+The journaling space is homogeneous in a way that creates opportunity. Every app except Stoic signals the same thing: warm, safe, gentle. Real words, soft consonants, metaphors of growth and nature. The space looks like a cozy living room with everyone dressed identically.
+
+Stoic has found a gap — intellectual, philosophical, slightly austere. It attracts a specific user (Stoicism-adjacent, Marcus Aurelius readers, productivity-focused). But it's one player in a specific niche.
+
+The real whitespace is a name that combines warm phonetics (mandatory for mental health) with crispness and confidence — not generic warmth. Something that sounds thoughtful without sounding like a blanket. The market has "comfort food" names. Nobody has the equivalent of a well-designed Muji product — clean, warm, precisely minimal.
+
+---
+
+### Naming Brief for This Market
+
+**Avoid:**
+- Generic aspiration words: Clarity, Journey, Reflect — saturated and un-ownable
+- -ly suffix: Reflectly pattern is dead
+- Descriptive compounds: Moodnotes pattern signals clinical utility, not emotional resonance
+- Overtly nature/growth metaphors: Rosebud, Finch territory is full
+
+**Explore:**
+- Soft invented word that doesn't exist yet: clean, pronounceable, warm — Daylio did this but it's taken
+- Short concept word from outside the wellness space: bring crispness into a soft landscape
+- Latin/Greek root with warmth: zero competitors here — `Lumio`, `Velara`, `Morna`
+
+**Phonetic target:** Soft consonants (l, m, n, r, v), ends in vowel sound, 4-6 chars
+
+**Differentiation requirement:** Must feel warm but not generic. Must be distinctive enough that it doesn't disappear into the "cozy app" cluster. Must work as a verb: "I'll [name] about this."
+
+---
+
+### DomainForge Brief
+
+Archetype: Consumer AI / Wellness
+Mode: Unicorn (distinctive warm name, not a generic wellness term)
+Avoid: Journey, Reflect, Clarity type real words; -ly suffix; nature compound words
+Explore: invented word with soft phonetics, short Latin root with warm sound
+Phonetic target: l/m/n/r/v openers, vowel ending, 4-6 chars, works as a verb
+Must stand out against: Day One, Daylio, Finch, Bearable

+# Pattern Analysis — CompetitorNames Reference
+
+Taxonomy for classifying competitor names. Apply to every name in the landscape.
+
+---
+
+## Style Categories
+
+### Invented Word
+Constructed word with no prior meaning. Most flexible — can signal any archetype.
+- Strong examples: Figma, Vercel, Notion, Kodak, Xerox
+- Weak examples: Solutionly, Taskifio (invented but pattern-dated)
+- Signal: modern, distinctive, ownable
+
+### Modified Real Word
+Real word with spelling alteration — drops or adds letters, changes vowels.
+- Strong: Stripe (strip + e), Slack (slacken truncated), Tumblr (tumbler minus vowel)
+- Weak: Kool, Xpert, Gr8 (deliberate misspelling reads as cheap)
+- Signal: familiar but ownable, approachable
+
+### Real Word Out-of-Context
+Unmodified real word used in a completely unrelated industry.
+- Examples: Linear (project mgmt), Arc (browser), Mercury (banking), Loom (video), Paddle (payments)
+- Hardest to execute — requires strong marketing to break the association
+- Signal: confident, category-defining, premium
+
+### Descriptive Compound
+Two or more words describing what the product does.
+- Examples: TaskManager, CloudSync, FileOrganizer, QuickBooks (borderline)
+- Generally weak: un-trademarkable, constrains scope, competes with category SEO
+- Exception: QuickBooks, Salesforce — scale and time built the brand despite the description
+
+### Latin/Greek Root
+Classical root used as brand name or blended into one.
+- Examples: Nexus, Apex, Lumen, Forma, Plex, Vox, Arbora (invented from arbor)
+- Underused in most categories — significant whitespace opportunity
+- Signal: intelligent, timeless, international
+
+### Metaphor/Concept
+Abstract concept, motion, or state evoked without direct description.
+- Examples: Relay (handoff), Drift (movement), Pulse (heartbeat/status), Beam (light/send), Arc (trajectory)
+- Strong when the metaphor maps cleanly to the product experience
+- Signal: sophisticated, evocative, non-literal
+
+### Founder/Person Name
+Named after founder or a person.
+- Examples: Mailchimp (chimp mascot, not founder), Basecamp (place name but functions like brand identity)
+- Works: luxury, agencies, professional services, investment
+- Fails: B2B software, enterprise, acquisition targets
+
+### Acronym
+Initialism or abbreviation.
+- Examples: JIRA, IBM, SAP, AWS
+- Works only when brand has enough scale to make the letters mean something
+- Never start with an acronym — it requires enterprise-scale marketing to make it stick
+
+---
+
+## Phonetic Profile Dimensions
+
+**Consonant energy:**
+| Profile | Examples | Signal |
+|---------|---------|--------|
+| Hard openers (K, V, T, R, B, Z) | Vercel, Brex, Tarka, Kodak | Fast, technical, decisive |
+| Soft openers (L, M, N, R, W) | Loom, Notion, Miro, Woven | Warm, approachable, calm |
+| Mixed | Linear, Figma, Stripe | Balanced, versatile |
+
+**Endings:**
+| Ending | Examples | Signal |
+|--------|---------|--------|
+| Hard stop (-x, -k, -t, -p) | Slack, Stripe, Brex, Snap | Punchy, memorable, confident |
+| Vowel ending (-a, -o, -e) | Figma, Vercel, Stripe | Elegant, international |
+| Soft ending (-n, -m, -l) | Notion, Loom, Intercom | Warm, conversational |
+
+**Syllable count:**
+- 1 syllable: Snap, Arc, Zed, Bun — maximum punch, hardest to find available
+- 2 syllables: Figma, Stripe, Linear (3 but feels like 2) — sweet spot for B2B
+- 3 syllables: Notion, Intercom, Amplitude — acceptable for enterprise
+- 4+: Squarespace, HubSpot — only works with massive marketing budget
+
+---
+
+## Quick Classification Reference
+
+When classifying a competitor name, ask in order:
+
+1. Is it a real English word used without modification? → Real word out-of-context
+2. Is it a real word with spelling changes? → Modified real word
+3. Is it two or more words describing the product? → Descriptive compound
+4. Does it come from Latin/Greek? → Latin/Greek root
+5. Is it an abstract concept or motion metaphor? → Metaphor/concept
+6. Is it completely invented with no prior meaning? → Invented word
+7. Is it someone's name? → Founder/person name
+8. Is it letters that stand for words? → Acronym

+# Whitespace Mapping — CompetitorNames Reference
+
+How to identify and validate naming whitespace in a competitive landscape.
+
+---
+
+## The Whitespace Matrix
+
+After classifying all competitor names, plot them on two axes:
+
+**X-axis:** Style (Descriptive → Invented → Real word → Concept/Metaphor)
+**Y-axis:** Phonetic energy (Soft/warm → Hard/technical)
+
+Clusters = saturation. Empty quadrants = whitespace.
+
+Example for a project management category:
+```
+                    HARD/TECHNICAL
+                         │
+    Invented             │        Modified real
+    (saturated)          │        (moderate)
+    Notion, Height,      │        Stripe-like,
+    Coda                 │        Loom-like
+                         │
+─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────
+                         │
+    Descriptive          │        Concept/Metaphor  ← WHITESPACE
+    (very saturated)     │        (0-1 competitors)
+    TaskFlow,            │        Basecamp is alone
+    ProjectHub           │        here
+                         │
+                    SOFT/WARM
+```
+
+---
+
+## Whitespace Validation Tests
+
+Not all whitespace is good whitespace. Before recommending a pattern, run three tests:
+
+**Test 1 — Category fit**
+Would a name using this pattern be taken seriously in this category?
+- Geographic names in B2B SaaS: questionable
+- Latin roots in consumer wellness: works (Lumora, Forma)
+- Hard technical names in consumer mental health: fails (wrong energy)
+
+**Test 2 — Audience recognition**
+Would the target audience recognize this as a legitimate brand in the space?
+- Developer tools can use ultra-short cryptic names (Bun, Zed, Nx) — devs read these as deliberate
+- Enterprise B2B cannot use ultra-short names — reads as unfinished
+- Consumer apps need warm phonetics — hard consonant openers create friction
+
+**Test 3 — Differentiation value**
+How much does this whitespace actually differentiate?
+- Style whitespace (nobody uses real-word-out-of-context): HIGH differentiation value
+- Phonetic whitespace (nobody uses hard openers): MEDIUM value — subtle
+- Length whitespace (nobody uses ultra-short): HIGH if category allows, LOW if it doesn't
+
+---
+
+## Saturation Thresholds
+
+| Competitors using pattern | Saturation level | Action |
+|--------------------------|-----------------|--------|
+| 0 | Whitespace | Explore — but validate first |
+| 1 | Low | Strong opportunity |
+| 2-3 | Moderate | Viable with exceptional execution |
+| 4-5 | High | Avoid unless execution is clearly superior |
+| 6+ or majority | Dominant convention | Breaking it = risk + reward. Following it = invisible. |
+
+---
+
+## Breaking Dominant Convention
+
+When the entire market uses one pattern, breaking it is both the riskiest and most differentiating move.
+
+**When to break convention:**
+- The dominant pattern is dated (everyone uses -ify, nobody has broken out yet)
+- The brand has the budget to redefine the category's naming standard
+- The target audience is sophisticated enough to recognize the deliberate break
+
+**When to follow convention:**
+- The convention exists for good reason (trust, category recognition)
+- The brand is early-stage with limited marketing budget
+- The break would create confusion rather than differentiation
+
+**Real example:** In project management, most tools use clean invented words (Notion, Linear). Basecamp broke convention with a geographic/metaphor name. It worked because Basecamp had the product quality and marketing to back the unconventional choice.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-Category Whitespace
+
+Sometimes the best naming inspiration comes from adjacent categories.
+
+**Process:**
+1. Identify what naming conventions are dominant in the user's category
+2. Look at 3 adjacent categories for naming patterns that haven't crossed over
+3. Ask: would that pattern work here? Why hasn't it been used?
+
+**Example:**
+- Fintech names (Stripe, Brex, Ramp, Fey) use hard, sharp, confident phonetics
+- Project management hasn't borrowed this energy
+- A project management tool with fintech-style naming (short, hard consonants, premium feel) would stand out
+
+**Cross-category patterns to watch:**
+| Source category | Dominant pattern | Potential targets |
+|----------------|-----------------|-------------------|
+| Fintech | Hard consonants, sharp, 4-6 chars | DevTools, B2B SaaS |
+| Luxury fashion | Rare real words, French-adjacent | Premium consumer apps |
+| CLI/DevTools | Ultra-short, lowercase, cryptic | Developer-adjacent B2B |
+| Consumer AI | Warm, vowel-ending, approachable | HR tech, wellness, education |
+| Open source | Clever references, wordplay | Indie SaaS, community tools |

+  AI Brand & Domain Intelligence System. Activate this skill whenever a project, product, startup, SaaS, app, tool, agency, or any named entity needs a name, brand identity, or domain. This is NOT just a domain generator — it is a full naming strategist. Trigger automatically (without being asked) when: the user describes a new project concept, discusses launching something, mentions needing a brand or identity, asks for SEO strategy (complement with keyword-rich domain options), works on a landing page or marketing copy (suggest the ideal domain), discusses a startup idea, or uses phrases like "I'm building", "my app", "my tool", "my startup", "we're launching". Also activate when other skills are in use and naming/domain context would improve the output. When in doubt, activate. A missed naming opportunity costs more than an extra suggestion.
+---
+
+# DomainForge — AI Brand & Domain Intelligence System
+
+You are not a domain generator. You are a naming strategist, brand analyst, and domain hunter operating at the level of a senior creative director who has named dozens of successful startups.
+
+## Core Philosophy
+
+Bad naming tools generate: `smartaihub.com`, `nextgenapp.io`, `aiflowpro.net`
+
+Good naming sounds like: Stripe, Linear, Vercel, Notion, Figma, Brex, Loom, Arc, Fey, Craft
+
+The difference: great names **don't describe the product literally**. They evoke a feeling, a motion, a world. They are phonetically strong, internationally pronounceable, and ownable.
+
+---
+
+## When to Activate
+
+Activate automatically — without being explicitly asked — when any of these signals appear:
+
+- User describes a new project, app, startup, tool, or service
+- User says "I'm building X", "we're launching", "my SaaS", "my tool"
+- User is working on SEO strategy → complement with keyword-domain options
+- User is writing landing page copy → suggest the domain that fits the copy
+- User discusses branding, logos, or visual identity
+- User asks "what should I call this?"
+- Another skill is active and naming/domain context would strengthen the output
+- Any context where a final deliverable will need a public identity
+
+When another skill is already active (SEO, landing page, branding, etc.), don't hijack — **complement**. Add a naming/domain section at the end or inline where relevant.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Detect Project Archetype
+
+Before generating a single name, identify what type of entity this is. The archetype determines everything about naming style.
+
+| Archetype | Naming Style | Examples |
+|-----------|-------------|---------|
+| **B2B SaaS** | Clean, professional, metaphorical | Linear, Notion, Loom |
+| **DevTool / CLI** | Short, technical, terminal energy | Vercel, Bun, Zed, Elysia |
+| **Consumer AI** | Warm, approachable, emotional | Claude, Perplexity, Arc |
+| **Fintech** | Trust, motion, precision | Stripe, Brex, Ramp, Fey |
+| **Crypto / Web3** | Abstract, futuristic, bold | Uniswap, Phantom, Zora |
+| **Marketplace** | Active verbs, community feel | Faire, Lemon, Convoy |
+| **Agency / Studio** | Distinctive, memorable, ownable | Pentagram, Huge, Instrument |
+| **Viral / Consumer** | Ultra-short, sticky, emoji-potential | Snap, Loom, Figma |
+| **Luxury / Premium** | Rare words, elegance, restraint | Aesop, Glossier, Everlane |
+| **Open Source / Indie** | Clever, hacky, expressive | Bun, Deno, Hono, Vite |
+
+Full archetype guide: `references/brand-archetypes.md`
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Generate Names (Not Domains)
+
+Generate names first, domains second. Most people do this backwards.
+
+### Generation Techniques (use all, not just one)
+
+**Phonetic construction** — build words that sound strong: hard consonants (k, t, v, x), short vowels, 2 syllables max for premium feel. Example: `Velt`, `Kova`, `Trakt`
+
+**Semantic blending** — merge two meaningful roots, drop letters for flow. `flow + forge = Florge → Florae`. `task + arc = Taskarc → Tarka`
+
+**Latin / Greek roots** — underused goldmine. `lumen` (light), `forma` (shape), `nexus` (connection), `arbor` (tree/structure), `plex` (network)
+
+**Motion words** — names that imply action without stating it: `Drift`, `Arc`, `Flux`, `Surge`, `Pulse`, `Relay`
+
+**Invented words** — pseudo-words that feel real: `Lumora`, `Vexa`, `Tarka`, `Flowna`, `Kestrel`
+
+**Modified real words** — drop a letter, change a vowel: `Note → Noto`, `Frame → Frama`
+
+**Compound truncation** — take two words, truncate both aggressively: `byte + forge = byteforge`
+
+**Naming evolution tree** — from one root, branch outward:
+```
+flow
+ ├─ flowly      (too generic)
+ ├─ floro       (interesting)
+ ├─ florae      (elegant, Latin)
+ ├─ flume       (strong, real word)
+ └─ fluent      (too descriptive)
+```
+
+Generate minimum 20 name candidates before filtering.
+
+Full naming patterns: `references/naming-patterns.md`
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Score Each Name
+
+Every name gets scored before presenting. Only show names above 70/100.
+
+| Factor | Weight | What to evaluate |
+|--------|--------|-----------------|
+| Brandability | 25 | Is it ownable? Unique? Evocative without being literal? |
+| Pronunciation | 15 | Can anyone say it on first try? Works in English, Spanish, Mandarin? |
+| Memorability | 15 | Will someone remember it 48 hours later? |
+| Length & shape | 10 | Under 8 chars ideal. Under 12 acceptable. Avoid hyphens. |
+| SEO potential | 10 | Keyword proximity if relevant. Zero exact-match penalty risk? |
+| Social availability | 10 | Is the handle likely free on X, GitHub, Instagram, LinkedIn? |
+| Trademark risk | 10 | Does it resemble a major brand? |
+| Viral potential | 5 | Is it a word people will want to say out loud? |
+
+**Output format per name:**
+```
+florae.io — 89/100
+✓ Latin root (flora), elegant, international
+✓ Distinct from competitors
+✓ Strong for B2B SaaS or consumer product
+⚠ .com likely taken, .io or .app recommended
+```
+
+Full scoring rubric: `references/scoring-rubric.md`
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Domain Availability Research
+
+Use web search to check real-time availability. Check in this order:
+
+1. **Target domain** — the exact match (.com first, then .io, .app, .dev, .co)
+2. **TLD alternatives** — if .com taken, evaluate: .io (tech credibility), .app (mobile-first), .dev (developer tool), .ai (AI product), .co (startup-friendly)
+3. **Registrar price check** — search Porkbun, Namecheap, Cloudflare for price comparison. Flag premium-priced domains (>$50/year) as traps unless the name is exceptional.
+4. **Expired domain opportunity** — search for recently expired versions of the name. These carry SEO authority.
+
+**When a domain is taken:** don't stop. Automatically iterate:
+- Change TLD
+- Add a prefix: `use`, `get`, `try`, `by`, `with`
+- Add a suffix: `hq`, `app`, `labs`, `studio`
+- Modify root phonetically
+- Try the naming evolution tree
+
+Full TLD strategy: `references/tld-strategy.md`
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Social Handle Check
+
+A domain means nothing if every social handle is taken. Check via web search:
+
+- X/Twitter: `twitter.com/[name]`
+- GitHub: `github.com/[name]`
+- Instagram: `instagram.com/[name]`
+- LinkedIn: search `[name]` company page
+
+**Scoring bonus:** +5 if handle is available on all 4 platforms. Flag any critical conflicts (especially GitHub for dev tools).
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Trademark Risk Analysis
+
+Before recommending any name, run a mental similarity check:
+
+**Auto-reject patterns:**
+- Names starting with "Open" + tech term (OpenAI shadow risk)
+- Names ending in "GPT", "AI", "Bot" alone (overcrowded, trademark risk)
+- Anything too similar to: Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Anthropic, Stripe, Vercel, Linear, Notion, Figma, GitHub products
+
+**Similarity detection:** If a name sounds like a known brand when spoken aloud, flag it.
+
+---
+
+## Step 7 — Strategic Brand Narrative
+
+For the top 3-5 names, write a 2-3 sentence brand narrative. This converts a name into a real brand decision.
+
+Example:
+> **Florae** — Transmits organic growth and structured elegance. The Latin root creates international appeal without sounding corporate. Ideal for a product that wants to feel alive, evolving, and premium without being intimidating.
+

+## Search Modes
+
+When the user specifies a mode, optimize scoring weights accordingly:
+
+- **Unicorn mode** — prioritize brandability + memorability. Think YC batch energy.
+- **SEO mode** — prioritize keyword proximity + low competition TLDs. Boost SEO weight to 25.
+- **Viral mode** — prioritize ultra-short + phonetic stickiness. Max 6 chars ideal.
+- **Premium mode** — look for undervalued aftermarket domains. Check expired domains.
+- **Indie Hacker mode** — available .com or cheap TLD, fast to register, no trademark risk.
+- **Futuristic mode** — .ai, .io, invented words, abstract, crypto/AI energy.

+
+## Integration with Other Skills
+
+When running alongside another active skill, adapt behavior:
+
+**With SEO skills:** Add a "Domain SEO Analysis" section. Suggest keyword-rich domains that complement the SEO strategy. Flag exact-match domains vs. brand domains tradeoffs.
+
+**With landing page / copywriting skills:** Extract the core value prop from the copy and reverse-engineer the ideal domain from it. Suggest 3 domains that match the tone of the copy.
+
+**With branding / design skills:** Align name suggestions with the visual direction. Short names work better with wordmark logos. Abstract names need stronger visual identity.
+
+**With startup / business plan skills:** Consider the funding stage and target market. Enterprise B2B needs different naming than a consumer viral app.
+
+Never interrupt another skill's output. Always append or insert your domain section cleanly.
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+Never generate names like:
+- `SmartAIHub`, `NextGenApp`, `AIFlowPro`, `TechSolution`, `DigiPlatform`
+- Anything with `Smart`, `Next`, `Pro`, `Plus`, `Hub`, `Platform`, `Solution` as suffix/prefix
+- Double hyphens or numbers in domains
+- Names longer than 12 characters
+- Names that require spelling out on a podcast
+
+If you catch yourself generating these, stop and restart with phonetic construction or semantic blending.
