claude-command-name-format

Command Name section should be 'plugin-name:command-name'

Formerly known as command-name-format. The legacy name still works in configs, --rule/--skip-rule, suppression comments, and baselines.

Why

The Name section in a command file tells users and tools the command's fully qualified identifier. It must follow the plugin-name:command-name format so the runtime can route invocations correctly.

Examples

Bad (in plugin my-plugin, file deploy.md):

## Name

deploy

Good:

## Name

my-plugin:deploy

How to fix

Update the Name section to include the plugin name prefix followed by a colon and the command name: plugin-name:command-name.
