Recipe Naming Conventions

Consistent, predictable names keep your Meridian workspace searchable and your team aligned.

General Rules

  • •Use lowercase with hyphens — daily-backup not DailyBackup
  • •Start with a verb — deploy-staging, rotate-secrets
  • •Keep names under 40 characters

Prefixes

build-

CI/CD pipelines

deploy-

Release workflows

sync-

Data replication

monitor-

Health checks

cleanup-

Housekeeping tasks

notify-

Alert dispatchers

Environment Suffixes

Append the target environment when a recipe is environment-specific:

-prod-staging-dev-canary

Example: deploy-staging, sync-prod

Pro tip

Use Meridian's search with the colon prefix filter — name:deploy- instantly surfaces every deployment recipe in your workspace.
