Inconsistent naming conventions can lead to confusion and bugs in your code, making it difficult to maintain. If left unaddressed, this issue can result in increased development time and potential runtime errors. By following this guide, you will ensure that your code adheres to a consistent naming standard, improving readability and maintainability. Every prompt is optimized and runs in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Diagnose the Wall

Before making any changes, identify the specific lines in your code where naming conventions are mixed. Look for instances in your main file where camelCase, snake_case, and PascalCase are used interchangeably.

Quote the Naming Rule Violation

Please analyze the main file for naming convention violations. Quote the exact line where a variable or function does not adhere to the expected naming convention. Clearly identify the specific variable or function that is in violation, and provide a brief explanation of how it deviates from the established naming rules.

Diagnose the Wall

Paste the Main File for Analysis

Please analyze the following content of my main file for naming conventions: [MAIN FILE CONTENT]. Identify specific examples of inconsistent naming practices, such as variations in capitalization, underscores, or other formatting issues. Provide a summary of the inconsistencies found, along with suggestions for standardizing the naming conventions throughout the file.

Diagnose the Wall

State Your Understanding of Naming Conventions

Please explain your understanding of the naming conventions required for this project. Include details on specific naming styles (e.g., camelCase, snake_case) and any guidelines for naming variables, functions, and classes. Additionally, provide examples of both correct and incorrect naming practices to illustrate your points.

Diagnose the Wall

Expected vs. Actual Naming Behavior

Please provide a structured comparison of the expected naming conventions versus the actual naming behavior in the main file. For each variable or function, list the expected format and detail how the current implementation deviates from this standard. Include examples for clarity and organize the output in a table format for easy reference.

Diagnose the Wall

Identify Violated Naming Constraints

Please analyze the following code snippet for naming convention violations: [CODE SNIPPET]. Identify the specific naming convention rule that has been violated and quote the exact clause from the project guidelines that outlines the expected format. Present your findings in a structured format, including the violated rule, the relevant code segment, and the guideline reference.

Diagnose the Wall

Isolate and Fix

Target the specific lines in your code where the naming conventions are inconsistent. Focus on making changes that align with the established project standards.

Fix Mixed Naming in Function Definitions

Identify the function definition in the main file that is currently named 'getUserInfo'. Change this function name to 'get_user_info' to adhere to the project's naming convention of using snake_case. Ensure that this change is made only in the function definition and does not affect any other references to the function in the code. After making the change, provide a brief summary of where the function is defined and how it is used in the project.

Isolate and Fix

Rewrite Variable Names to Match Convention

Please rewrite the variable name 'userAge' to match the snake_case convention, changing it to 'user_age'. Ensure that all instances of 'userAge' in the main file are updated to 'user_age' for consistency. Provide a summary of all changes made, including the locations where the variable was found and updated.

Isolate and Fix

Scoped Change for Class Names

Please update the class name 'UserProfile' to 'user_profile' in the class definition to align with the project's naming convention of using snake_case. Ensure that this change is isolated and does not affect any other parts of the code. After making the change, provide a brief summary of the modification and any potential impacts on the codebase.

Isolate and Fix

Enforce Consistent Naming Format

Review all variable names in the main file and identify any that do not follow the snake_case naming convention. For each variable found in camelCase or PascalCase, provide the original name and the corrected name in snake_case. Additionally, summarize the total number of changes made and any patterns observed in the naming inconsistencies.

Isolate and Fix

Correct Import Statements for Consistency

Review the import statements in the main file of the project. Identify any imports that do not adhere to the snake_case naming convention. For each inconsistent import, provide the corrected version and explain why the change is necessary to maintain consistency throughout the codebase. Format your response as a list of corrections with brief justifications.

Isolate and Fix

Verify the Resolution

After making changes, confirm that all naming conventions are now consistent throughout the code. Look for any remaining inconsistencies.

Run a Naming Convention Check

Please perform a naming convention check on the main file to verify that all variable and function names adhere to the snake_case format. Identify and list any names that do not conform to this standard, providing specific examples of the inconsistencies found. Additionally, suggest how these names can be corrected to meet the snake_case convention.

Verify the Resolution

Show Diff of Changes Made

Display the differences between the main file before and after the changes to verify that all naming conventions have been corrected. Please highlight the specific lines that were modified and provide a summary of the changes made, including the original and updated naming conventions. Format the output clearly, showing the old and new lines side by side for easy comparison.

Verify the Resolution

Replay the Original Failing Scenario

Please run the application and verify if the previous issues related to naming conventions have been resolved. Specifically, check for any errors or warnings that may arise due to inconsistent naming. Provide a detailed report on the findings, including any remaining issues and suggestions for improvement.

Verify the Resolution

Check Edge Cases for Naming Issues

Review the following code for any edge cases where naming conventions may have been overlooked: [CODE SNIPPET]. Specifically, check that all variable names adhere to the snake_case standard. Provide a list of any inconsistencies found, along with suggestions for correcting them to ensure uniformity throughout the code.

Verify the Resolution

Confirm Final State of Main File

Please review the final state of the main file for the project related to [PROJECT NAME]. Verify that all naming conventions are consistent throughout the file. If you find any discrepancies, list them clearly along with suggestions for how to correct each inconsistency. Format your response in a bullet-point list for easy reference.
