Naming Convention

Why This Exists

This convention makes the repository predictable as the Algosure Blueprint grows.

Owner

The owner is the Chief Product Officer and Enterprise Architect.

Business Value

Predictable naming improves navigation, search, review, and long-term maintainability.

File Naming

Use descriptive Markdown file names.

Content Type Convention Example
Foundation standards Title case with hyphens Metadata-Standard.md
Section overview README.md or index.md where already established README.md
Decision records Numeric prefix and lowercase slug 0001-record-blueprint-decisions.md
Diagrams Lowercase descriptive slug blueprint-foundation-flow.mmd

Concept Naming

Use consistent names for Blueprint concepts:

  • Practices
  • Digital Professionals
  • Business Capabilities
  • SOPs
  • Organizational Memory
  • AI reasoning
  • Executable workflows

One Concept, One Owner

Do not create multiple names for the same concept unless a standard explicitly defines synonyms. Each concept name must map to one accountable owner.

Naming Restrictions

  • Do not use ambiguous abbreviations.
  • Do not encode temporary sprint names into permanent concept names.
  • Do not rename a governed concept without updating cross-references.
