Enforces Effective-Dart casing (UpperCamelCase types, lowerCamelCase members/constants, lowercase\_with\_underscores files) plus architectural role suffixes so a name or grep reveals the layer — Screen/Notifier/Repository/Dao/Service/Gateway/Failure, file=primary-declaration, units-and-semantics in identifiers, booleans as is/has/can/should assertions, no get-prefix, no Hungarian, no SCREAMING\_CAPS, grouped-and-sorted imports. Use when creating a file, naming a class/enum/mixin/extension/typedef/variable/function/getter/constant/parameter, organizing imports, choosing a role suffix, or reviewing a diff for naming and directive ordering.

## From README

Naming Conventions Consistent, role-carrying names make code searchable and self-explaining, and the suffix on a type declares which layer it lives in — so a reviewer, a grep, and a banned-import gate can all read the layer off the name alone. This skill is the how; the normative what is Effective Dart. Never invent a house style that contradicts the language's own. Non-negotiable rules Types are UpperCamelCase. Classes, enums, mixins, extensions, typedefs, type parameters: TaskScreen, OrderStatus, Predicate . Consistent shape makes types visually distinct from values. Members, variables, functions, and parameters are lowerCamelCase. dueDate, loadTasks(), itemCount. It is the language default; deviating costs readers a double-take. Constants are lowerCamelCase, never SCREAMINGCAPS. const maxItemsPerPage = 50; — not const MAXITEMS = 50. Dart dropped the C convention; the analyzer expects constantidentifiernames.
