You can validate identifiers by scanning them for consecutive hyphens, which flags malformed names that might break downstream parsing, linting, or fixture testing in tooling that expects strict hyphen placement.

Consecutive hyphen validation matters because malformed names with repeated hyphens often cause edge-case parsing errors, configuration validation failures, and inconsistent behavior in downstream tooling that processes hyphenated identifiers.

Yes, you can use it for edge-case testing to confirm that your linters, parsers, and test fixtures correctly recognize and handle malformed hyphen patterns during naming audits and configuration validation.

The best way to flag suspicious naming conventions is to perform a dedicated naming audit that checks identifiers for consecutive hyphens, ensuring strict recognition of hyphen placement and consistent reporting of malformed names.

You validate configuration files by running a validation check against the provided names or identifiers to identify any entries containing consecutive hyphens, preventing edge-case errors before they affect your tooling.
