Choose specific, descriptive names for identifiers that accurately reflect their purpose and behavior. Avoid generic terms or ambiguous names that could lead to confusion. Names should be self-documenting and convey precise meaning. Key guidelines: - Add clarifying prefixes/suffixes to distinguish similar concepts - Avoid language keywords as identifiers - Use names that reflect the exact functionality Example - Improving name specificity: ```typescript // ❌ Ambiguous or generic names class AiRelatedInformation { } function isPath(string: string) { } interface SearchOptions { } // ✅ Specific, semantic names class AiSearchSettingKeysProvider { } function isPathLike(text: string) { } interface RipgrepTextSearchOptions { } ``` This helps prevent confusion, makes code more self-documenting, and reduces the need for additional clarifying comments.
