Check that names and interfaces tell a coherent story.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Review naming and interface consistency in my code. Language and style guide: [LANGUAGE_AND_STYLE_GUIDE]. Code or API surface (function signatures, class names, endpoints, or schema): [PASTE_CODE_OR_API].

Produce a review with a table of inconsistencies and for each give BEFORE and AFTER:
BEFORE: the current names or signatures, shown together to reveal the inconsistency (for example getUser, fetchAccount, loadProfile for the same kind of operation; or userId, user_id, uid).
AFTER: a single recommended convention and the renamed versions.
IMPACT: breaking or non-breaking, and for breaking changes a deprecation approach (keep alias, warn, remove after a version).

Cover: verbs for operations, plural versus singular, abbreviations, boolean naming, parameter order, return shapes, error conventions, units in names, and time and date handling. Then propose a one-page naming guide of 10 rules drawn from my own code and the 5 highest-value renames. Do not recommend renaming public names without a migration plan, and tell me how to automate the renames safely with my tools.
