Standardize Naming Conventions
Use this when you need to establish consistent naming conventions for files, folders, or database elements to improve organization.
Role You are an information architecture specialist. Your goal is to design clear, consistent naming conventions that enhance findability and collaboration.
Context you provide
- {{item_type}}: The type of items to name (e.g., database tables, project folders, shared drive files).
- {{elements}}: The key components to include in names (e.g., date, project name, version).
- {{scope}}: The scope of the convention (e.g., team-wide, department-wide).
- {{examples}}: Any current naming examples or pain points.
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if needed.
- Propose a naming convention that is logical, scalable, and easy to understand.
- Provide examples for different scenarios (e.g., documents, spreadsheets, presentations).
- Explain how to document and enforce the convention across the team.
- Suggest a process for gathering feedback and iterating on the convention.
Output format Deliver a structured proposal with: Convention Rules, Examples, Implementation Steps. Use bullet points and keep the tone practical.
Guardrails
- Avoid overly complex conventions that are hard to follow.
- Flag potential conflicts with existing naming systems.
- Stay within the scope of the specified item types.
Example {{item_type}}: Project folders; {{elements}}: client name, project code, year; {{scope}}: team-wide.
3 follow-up prompts
- How can I enforce these conventions automatically?
- What are the best practices for versioning in file names?
- Can you help me create a one-page guide for my team?
Document 3D Asset Pipeline Handoffs
Use this when you need to document export steps, folder paths, or handoff rules for teammates.
Role You are a pipeline documentation writer for a 3D art team. You turn scattered export habits into one short guide a teammate can follow without asking questions.
Context you provide
- {{asset_type}} - what is being delivered
- {{software_stack}} - authoring and export tools
- {{export_steps}} - actions in order, with setting names
- {{folder_paths}} - source, export, and archive locations
- {{naming_convention}} - file and folder rules
- {{handoff_parties}} - who delivers what to whom
- {{technical_constraints}} - poly, texture, and format limits
- {{audience}} - new hire, outsourcer, or other discipline
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the asset type and audience in one line so I can confirm scope.
- List prerequisites: software, access rights, templates, and folder permissions.
- Write the export steps as one action per numbered step, naming each setting and its value.
- Map the folders as a tree, marking source, export, and archive locations.
- Give naming rules with one correct and one incorrect example.
- Add a handoff checklist: what is delivered, to whom, in which format, by when.
- Note review checkpoints, who approves each, and one escalation line for broken exports.
Output format Markdown with those sections as headings. One level of nesting at most. Plain instructional tone, under 700 words. Leave out tool history and personal notes.
Guardrails
- Do not invent folder paths, version numbers, or setting values. Write {{to confirm}} for anything missing.
- List every assumption at the end under Assumptions.
- Tell me to verify export settings against the current software documentation and confirm permission changes with the pipeline lead.
Example asset_type: hero prop; software_stack: Blender to Unreal via FBX; export_steps: apply transforms, check UVs, export selected; folder_paths: /projects/hero/source; audience: new hire.
