Daily Coding

A straightforward checklist that enforces basic hygiene on everyday coding tasks. It reminds you to read files before editing them, keep changes minimal, add type hints, and check for common security issues like injection vulnerabilities. The before/during/after structure keeps it simple, and it explicitly tells you not to use it for bug fixing or architecture work where other skills apply. Honestly, this is the kind of thing you'd want active by default to catch lazy habits like bare excepts or mutable default arguments. The security checkpoints are basic but cover the usual suspects: input validation, path traversal, hardcoded credentials.

Daily Coding Checklist

A minimal coding quality assurance checklist ensuring every code modification follows best practices.

When to Use

Use this skill for:

Implementing new features
Adding code or modifying existing code
User requests like "write a...", "implement...", "add...", or "modify..."
Any coding task that involves Edit or Write tools

When Not to Use

Do not use this skill for:

Pure reading or understanding tasks with no modification intent
Work already covered by specialized skills such as bug-detective, architecture-design, or verification-loop
Configuration-only changes
Documentation-only writing

Core Checklist

Before Starting

Read before modify - Must read target file with Read tool before making changes
Understand context - Confirm understanding of existing code logic and design intent

During Coding

Minimal changes - Only change what's necessary, no over-engineering, no unrelated features
Type safety - Add type hints for Python, avoid any in TypeScript
Security check - Avoid command injection, XSS, SQL injection vulnerabilities
