Your foundation layer for cross-language coding conventions that actually stick. Enforces immutability patterns, descriptive naming, proper error handling, and the holy trinity of KISS/DRY/YAGNI across TypeScript, React, and API design. Think of it as your team's shared baseline before you dive into framework-specific skills like frontend-patterns or backend-patterns. It covers the stuff that makes code reviews smoother: consistent variable naming, proper async/await patterns, React component structure, and REST API conventions. Won't teach you React hooks or database architecture, but will keep your codebase readable when you're juggling multiple projects with different tech stacks.

Coding Standards & Best Practices

Baseline coding conventions applicable across projects.

This skill is the shared floor, not the detailed framework playbook.

  • Use frontend-patterns for React, state, forms, rendering, and UI architecture.
  • Use backend-patterns or api-design for repository/service layers, endpoint design, validation, and server-specific concerns.
  • Use rules/common/coding-style.md when you need the shortest reusable rule layer instead of a full skill walkthrough.

When to Activate

  • Starting a new project or module
  • Reviewing code for quality and maintainability
  • Refactoring existing code to follow conventions
  • Enforcing naming, formatting, or structural consistency
  • Setting up linting, formatting, or type-checking rules
  • Onboarding new contributors to coding conventions

Scope Boundaries

Activate this skill for:

  • descriptive naming
  • immutability defaults
  • readability, KISS, DRY, and YAGNI enforcement
  • error-handling expectations and code-smell review
