Museum
The Naming Collision Museum
Six exhibits showing how the same name conceals wildly different things. The confusion is real: when the corpus has ten things called "Conductor", eight things called "oh-my-something", and two things called "Blueprint" with zero shared lineage — readers understandably give up trying to understand the field. These exhibits name the collisions explicitly.
Ten different things, one name.
A CC documentation plugin, a deterministic YAML workflow engine, a decentralized GitHub-Issues swarm, a consulting marketplace plugin, a macOS desktop app, and more — each called 'Conductor' with no awareness of the others.
Eight repos, two completely different purposes.
Half are orchestration frameworks routing parallel agents across multiple tools. The other half are terminal status-line customizers (like oh-my-zsh). Same naming convention, opposite engineering subjects.
Same pattern, opposite engineering philosophies.
ralph-snarktank (19.6k★): 200 lines of bash, widely copied. ralph-claude-code (9.2k★): 566 tests, multi-module production system. Both implement the Geoffrey Huntley XML completion contract. Neither references the other.
Two unrelated projects, one name.
blueprint-imbue is a planning copilot with a review loop. blueprint-juliusbrussee (cavekit) achieves ~75% token reduction via caveman notation and 6-step backpropagation. No shared lineage.
Six boilerplates, architecturally incompatible.
alexeykrol, cloudnative, zbruhnke, wyndomb, codex-starter-acthouse, codex-second-brain — each named 'something-starter', each setting up a completely different Claude Code methodology.
Three independent works of the same title.
claude-code-playbook-toy-crane, -riya, and -avinash. Independent authors, each publishing their own methodology document under the same generic title. No coordination, no cross-references.
All frameworks and tools in these exhibits have their own detail pages at /frameworks/[slug]. The museum's purpose is to make the naming collision visible, not to diminish any individual project.
