Output naming

Use names that explain the project without requiring an editor to open it. A good name identifies the workspace or project, story, output type, and date.

Naming pattern

For working sets:

<Workspace or project> - <Story or search theme> - Working Set - <YYYY-MM-DD>

For outputs:

<Workspace or project> - <Story or episode> - <Output type> - <YYYY-MM-DD>

Do not use test or demo for work that may appear in a review or handoff.
