Generate approved person names for examples, demos, quests, tests, docs, and sample data. Use when a task needs fictional person names, customer names, employee names, patient names, student names, instructor names, or other human names.

Generate person names for this repository from the approved local name fixture:
data/reference/FNF-2026-06-01-01002-0268.csv
Do not invent person names. Every person name used in examples, sample data,
quests, tests, demos, docs, or generated ontology content must come from the
CSV FullName column.
CSV columns:
FirstName,LastName,FullName,FirstNameNative,LastNameNative,FullNameNative,Gender,Language
Use FullName by default. Use FullNameNative only when the user explicitly
asks for native-script names or locale-specific display text.
Identify the role and quantity from the task, for example:
If the task does not specify quantity, use the minimum number needed for the
example or test.
Use the CSV fixture as the only source. A quick shell-friendly way to inspect
the first approved names is:
awk -F, 'NR > 1 { print $3 }' data/reference/FNF-2026-06-01-01002-0268.csv | head
For random sampling:
awk -F, 'NR > 1 { print rand() "\t" $3 }' data/reference/FNF-2026-06-01-01002-0268.csv | sort -n | cut -f2- | head -n 5
If names with commas or quotes are ever added to the CSV, use a proper CSV
parser instead of field splitting.
docs, and sample instances stay consistent.

ASCII-compatible.

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
