From 3043282457aafa8f0da55bd728f503c235ad7c81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: GlacierPhonk Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:29:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] SKILL.md: remove duplicate metaphor questions, defer to metaphor-mapping.md MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Step 2 had 4 condensed bullets that were out of sync with metaphor-mapping.md's canonical 6-question list. Replaced with a single directive to load metaphor-mapping.md and work through all 6 questions there — single source of truth, no future drift.

A naming brief prevents wasted exploration. Don't brainstorm names yet. Brainstorm **metaphors and conceptual territories**. -Ask: what real-world things share qualities with this product? - -- What does similar work in the physical world? -- What processes in nature mirror this product's function? -- What tools, roles, or machines serve an analogous purpose? -- What cultural references (mythology, literature, science) map to this function? - -Load [metaphor-mapping.md](metaphor-mapping.md) for technique guidance and starter territory maps. +Load [metaphor-mapping.md](metaphor-mapping.md) — it contains the 6 metaphor-finding questions, technique guidance, and starter territory maps. Work through all 6 questions against your simplified core function. Load [case-studies.md](case-studies.md) for real examples of how products found their naming metaphors. Pick 2-3 promising territories to explore. **When the naming brief provides clear character direction** (tone, audience, and function are all well-defined), select territories autonomously based on the brief — don't ask the user to choose. Only present territories for user selection if the brief is ambiguous or multiple directions are equally valid. Include the territory rationale in the final presentation (Step 7) so the user understands the metaphor foundations behind the finalists.
