Description

Description of Issue/Question

doc/topics/development/conventions/formulas.rst needs to talk more about suggested ID Naming Standard for https://github.com/saltstack-formulas e.g if everyone used install_pkg for an ID salt would fail.

It needs to provide guidance on naming the ID. e.g.

  • prefix with formula state name
  • use suffix with formula state name
    etc

Research direction

Start in doc/topics/development/conventions/formulas.rst and review the existing formula conventions. Add guidance for naming IDs, including formula-state prefixes or suffixes and the install_pkg collision example; the documentation is done when these recommendations are clearly explained for saltstack-formulas users.
