Is there a naming convention or guide that one should follow while naming Laravel migrations or should the name only be descriptive enough ?

Also, suppose you are adding 12 columns to modify a table then in such a case the migration name would be too long if made descriptive so are there any guide lines to follow ?

According to \Illuminate\Database\Console\Migrations\TableGuesser class source there are two default patterns to guess migration table and stub type.

const CREATE_PATTERNS = [
    '/^create_(\w+)_table$/',
    '/^create_(\w+)$/',
];

const CHANGE_PATTERNS = [
    '/_(to|from|in)_(\w+)_table$/',
    '/_(to|from|in)_(\w+)$/',
];
