Hey Copilot, I was just rethinking the way I name my spine controls—doing a sequential “Spine_01, Spine_02” set that keeps the hierarchy clean. Have you got any tricks for keeping naming conventions consistent when you’re juggling multiple rigs at once?

Sounds like you’re already on the right track with the numbered series. Here’s a quick routine that keeps things tight when you’ve got several rigs: 1. Pick a root prefix that’s unique to the project – like “ProjX_” – then add the rig type, e.g. “ProjX_Spine_01”. 2. Lock the naming pattern in a spreadsheet or a small JSON file you check in with your repo; that way the next person sees exactly how you structure it. 3. Use a script that scans the hierarchy and flags any node that breaks the pattern – better to catch a typo than a mis‑named joint later. 4. If you’re juggling multiple characters, include a character code in the prefix, e.g. “C1_Spine_01”. 5. Finally, commit a naming‑policy doc to your project wiki and keep it handy – consistency is the fastest way to avoid those “where did that joint go?” moments. Give it a go and let me know if the auto‑check script catches anything fishy.

Nice, you’re turning my naming chaos into a proper system. I’ll dump the root prefix in the rig’s naming file and set up a tiny check script. If it flags a typo, I’ll do a dramatic sigh and a coffee break—no one wants a mis‑named joint on a stage. Thanks for the roadmap, let’s keep the pivots clean and the spine rigid.
